"We..booked a table..arrived on time ..was seated.. looked at the very sticky menus...(There where notices everywhere informing us the place was closing 7th May ..for a Refurb. We tried to order on the QR code stuck to the end of the table...and it came up with the lockeepers page then asked for you to pay £3 to varyfy the payment i had all ready put in my bank details to pay...then it took us to another page and we couldn't go any further... on asking the landlord..he said that wasn't the right page he didn't know how it had happened. not even looking at the QR Code on the table... We ordered food at the bar 2 chicken sizzlers and a fish and chips. food arrived hot ..and very minimalist compared to the pictures...when asking a member of staff they said that's the normal portion..I had two small pieces of sprouting broccoli not even half a pepper and a quarter of a onion...bothe portions where the same..with a piece of chicken out of a multi bag from farm foods ..very dry and crispy around the edges...the chips with the fish chips had been double dipped in the fryer for the colour on them.. all together..never coming back..and won't enter one of these pubs again. Oh and the QR code is a company advertising there gaming company charge you £3 and the £27.99 every fortnight if you don't cancel it withing the first 24 hours..thankfully we started looking into it as soon as we got home..because we didn't want to be robbed again for the second time in the same night..."

"I booked a table mid week for 3 last minute. I requested one suitable for a disabled relative and they happily accommodated us. My Aunty struggles to walk and has use of a stick/walker. The entry ramp is a little steep for a disabled guest but there is no steps to enter. We had to be dropped off on double yellows as it’s a main road and she struggles to walk the distance away we had to park. This did not seem to be a problem. The food we ate was delicious. We had a large cheese and meat platter and a blue cheese platter. We had a selection of the local cheeses as my aunt was over from New Zealand. They also have my favourite orange Whitley Neill Gin. It was lovely for a different kind lunch. Great selection of cheeses and very enjoyable. Nice atmosphere for having a lunch and a chat. However, i also then visited on an weekend evening. On this occasion I found it a bit over crowded and less enjoyable due to a lack of seats. It was too busy and noisy for such a small venue. The toilets are also unisex and only 2 cubical. Less of a problem in the day. But very unpleasant in the evening. They stank and you could smell it every time the door was left open. I’m not a fan of unisex toilets and when the venue is as busy as it was it ended up with queues and a man hounding us in the toilets. I found the 2 experience very different. I would 100% recommend the venue for lunch. We also took home 2 blocks of cheese which were really tasty and authentic. The cheese wasn’t cheap but that’s what you would expect for the level of quality. I’m awarding 4 as the lunch visit alone would have been a 5 but it was let down by the overcrowded unpleasant evening. I would give the evening a second chance and hopefully find it to be better as the drinks, food and service were great on both occasions."

"I visited the hub this week with friends following a baby class. Some of my friends had previously visited and had told us about a poor experience with a member of staff who made them feel unwelcome and an inconvenience due to bringing their prams inside. Unfortunately, the same thing happened to us on entrance. We were immediately made to feel unwelcome by one particular member of staff who seemed alarmed that we had 3 prams and stated multiple times that it 's not an ideal place for prams. She also asked if my pram could be left outside which I politely declined as the area is not covered and rain was due soon. It would have also meant me having to constantly keep my eye on the pram outside. It 's important to say that there were several spare tables free inside, we were seated in the corner as you enter and there was enough space for the 3 prams, 3 adults, 3 babies and a high chair at the table as well. The member of staff came across very flustered in trying to 'fit us in with all the prams ' which led my friend to suggest we get a take away instead. We decided to stay but sadly will not be returning based on this experience. Whilst the coffee and cakes were nice, our visit was completely dampened by how we were treated. Having worked in cafes myself, I know how important customer service is. There are daily baby classes happening just up the road so the hub is a prime spot for mums to grab a coffee or lunch after class. Yes prams take up space but they can also be collapased or pushed next to one and other quite easily. Or if space is genuinely a concern for you, you could have a friendly and polite conversation about this. I 'd suggest you review how this member of staff speaks to mums or you may continue to lose customers."
