"Visited today for lunch and probably wouldn't rush back although I'm aware there's recently been a change in management so maybe a few teething troubles. Messaged via their Facebook page to book a table, no response. Never was a problem in the past. The pub was very cold with no heating at all so we had to keep our coats on. Several tables near us commented the same and all sat with coats on. The coffee machine was out of order so only instant available, which wasn't pleasant. We waited a long time for someone to come and take our food order, in the end I went and found someone. Two of us wanted the steak ale pie. Only then were we told it wasn't available. The chap said we should've been told when we were given the menus, well it was him that gave them to us! With that he said he'd give us a few minutes to choose something else and walked away. He didn't come back so I had to go and ask to place our order again. At no point did anyone ask if we had any food allergies, which I thought was a requirement these days? The food was really good, credit to the chef; it was well cooked, well presented, large portions and very tasty. We did notice that two other tables waited a very long time for their food and had to chase it up, so glad we ordered when we did. We would have stayed longer and had a dessert but it was so cold we couldn't relax and enjoy it. We were next to radiator and we did ask one of the waiters if it was possible to turn it on and he said he'd see what he could do, which was nothing as it remained stone cold! When our plates were taken we asked for the bill, but it didn't arrive. Eventually a young lady arrived with the card machine and asked us to pay, which we said we'd be delighted to do once we received our bill! When we left we walked past 3 different members of staff, all of whom had waited on our table at some point during our visit. Not one of them made an effort to say thank you or goodbye. There was no warm ambiance or friendly feeling in the pub, it felt cold (literally) and unwelcoming. I also felt that a couple of members of staff waiting on tables looked rather scruffy, none of them wore a logo'd t-shirt which I feel the staff should do as they're representing the pub or brewery. It was difficult to distinguish the staff from the customers!"

"wow! first line. we were in the hayloft last night. the room was speculative, as there were no conceivable dust particles in the room/pub. the super comfortable king size bed was amazing, it was so hard to get out! the room ' tasty decor was accompanied by stylish fittings and fittings throughout the room. as in all areas in the pub is the love of detail phenomenal. our three course evenings were raised, we both had skalopps to start, steak and confit ente for net and the life-changing chocolate mousse for plucking. simon, jason and team are beautiful, welcoming, professional and contemplative, a real pleasure to stay in this wonderful facility. many thanks again for the care around us, we really loved it. emeline and neil"

"I have been dining out frequently lately, so I decided to try a local takeaway called Grillz. The interior of the restaurant was very clean, and I had high hopes for the food. I opted for the Supreme kebab, which was a combination of doner, chicken, and halloumi priced at £12.95. Unfortunately, the doner meat was dry and seemed old. The nan bread provided was a small pita that was hidden beneath the meat, and it was stale and tough, not resembling traditional nan bread. It was disappointing that the bread and doner did not meet my expectations, as the chicken and cheese mixture was quite tasty."

"Stopped for a pint. Very slow service for drinks. We were then moved on from our table even though it wasn't reserved as a group was coming in! . We arrived about 3.30 on Fri 22 Dec 23. Only about 8 or so others in the bar. It was our second round which was cocktails that took forever. Service: 3 Location: 4 Hotel highlights: Quiet"

"First time having lunch out after the lockdown and surely it's a great one in here! We just find this pub from our search on the nearest pub as we are in the area. Great atmosphere and the fact that the chef check on the customer herself deserve an A! We had the sharing platter and the taste were just marvelous. The green curry there just amazing (did ask for extra spicy from the chef and she attend to it). Whoever crave for some authentic Thai food we totally recommend it!"
