"Found the Woodcock whilst searching the area for last minute Sunday lunch. Phoned to book and a lovely helpful girl called Rachael booked us a table. I explained we had 2 elderly (one was recently 100! ladies and we were accommodated near the door with easy access. I had a lovely pint of Long blonde ale and the ladies had a nice wine and local gin tonic. Rachael helpfully explained that the children’s roast would suffice for the older ladies smaller appetites and she was right! I’ve seen smaller main roasts! My sister had roast Turkey and I opted for the mixed roast and WOW! No less than 3 slices EACH of pork, Turkey and beef..with beautiful garlic roasted potatoes, loads of fresh veg, cauliflower cheese, crackling, stuffing, pigs in blankets and tons of gravy! All topped by the biggest Yorkie I’ve ever seen! All high quality produce and I gather locally sourced. We were all eventually beaten by the quantity and what we couldn’t eat the staff helpfully boxed up to take away. Only able to share one sticky toffee with custard and an ice cream after that but they were also excellent. The bill for 4 of us, 4 lunches, 2 desserts and 6 drinks came to only £27 per head too! The pub has been restored beautifully, the garden is sheltered and sunny with beautiful flowers and the whole place was lovely, atmospheric and welcoming. Rachael and the rest of the staff were fabulous and the landlady came over for a nice chat gave our 100 year old lady a nice bunch of flowers to take away. It made her day All in all a simply splendid visit and we will be back for sure"

"Here we go...........Have eaten at the Zagatos Bar Brasserie three times over the past year as a guest of family and friends. The Bar Brasserie is situated on the ground floor of the The 4 STAR Spar Hotel. Each experience lunch dinner has been disappointing for a number of reasons service quality of food. Guess what ?... I had a mad idea for some reason and took my partner there for lunch a short time ago. What happened you say ?????.......Ans.....Nothing has changed I am very sorry to say. I do not take pleasure in writing negative reports BUT this time I have to say something. The Good Points : Varied menu wine list with a range of options to suit most tastes. The staff, polite, welcoming and smartly dressed. Lovely dining room full of character. Now the not so good : Our table was not fully clean water food marks on it, plus, black pen marks on the wooden table top. Bearing in mind we are now sat in a 4 Star Hotel Brasserie Bar. Asked for a spicy tomato juice with all the trimmings to start with..... Sorry sir we don 't have tomato juice and we don 't have any spices . So went for the lime and soda which came with hardly any ice and you could not taste the lime juice and was slightly flat. Partner had no starter but I had the Tiger prawn cocktail with avocado. This presented in a Gin Tonic like glass. Only a few prawns and not Tiger small. The avocado was mashed in with the lettuce at the bottom of the glass and no taste very poor. For the main course we had the beef with all the trimmings which was OK but nothing special. Infact, when the meal arrived it came without roast pot 's. Waited a while for the waiters attention and asked for the missing roast pot 's which took five mins to arrive. Yes, I could have made a big fuss and asked for a reduction in my bill etc..etc... BUT I placed myself and partner in the Bar and Brasserie in knowing that it was not that good BUT hoping things may have improved. Not the case."
