"Had a day out and we were looking for a nice little pub for something to eat on our return journey home . We hit the JACKPOT with this little diamond !!! The staff were lovely and friendly . It was 39 degrees so we wasn’t wanting a full on meal just some sort of snack or picky bits …. We went for the steak and onion marmalade sub , the 1/2 bucket of chicken wings , pulled pork dirty fries and dirty onion rings …. The wait wasn’t very long at all , maybe 15-20 minutes . The food was presented beautifully and looked soooo good I was too excited and my partner and I got stuck right in unfortunately I didn’t take a photo first !!! What can I say … absolutely beautiful …. There was not one thing I could have said could have been improved !!! Everything cooked to perfection and so much taste and flavour !! Deffo hand shake to their chef !! The pub itself is also set out perfectly … they had an area where you can watch football with no music , so all you footy fans can hear the commentary …. For us music lovers there was another section where you can listion to music without having to hear the commentary !!! The music they played was also really good tunes !! Hats off to who ever planned the layout … you’ve thought about everyone !!! This pub definitely deserves more then 5 Great food friendly staff great atmosphere If we lived closer this would deffo become our new local … well done guys"

"Oh dear. What a shame. When we first sat down the waiter was brusque. He obviously found our party of eight, which included one child, and one vegan, pretty tiresome. We had called ahead to check that the restaurant offered vegan options, but there were none on the menu. Our guest was advised to order cauliflower (hold the cheese or put together her own dinner from sides. We asked if the chef could suggest a vegan meal (the restaurant was mostly empty at 6;15 so we didn't feel it was too much of an imposition ...the answer was..order sides ...the sides were fairly uninspiring (potatoes, carrots, plain greens so our vegan guest and her child left.And then there were six...We ordered fish and one order of pork. The waiter got the order wrong and brought multiple orders of pork ..so one of our guests ate alone, while the others waited for their food (to be fair, the other server, a lovely waitress, did offer to return that meal and bring all the food at the same time, but our guest was hungry and needed to eat. . The waiter did not apologize and he continued to ignore us for most of the evening. Perhaps chastened by his mistakes, he took orders at the tables around us, shouting them back to customers at full volume. The lovely romantic setting lost its lustre in the face of his boorishness.There were three servers working that evening and I need to point out that the two other waitresses were very solicitous and extremely accommodating. I got the impression they had been hired to compensate for his gruff ineptitude. The sea bass and pork were both delicious. Perfectly cooked. The sides were very good. Would certainly recommend the food, and the setting but the whole experience was marred by one very rude waiter."
