"Came today with my 3 and 1 year old and their grandma for lunch before we went to Kinderhub next door. I always feel anxious about taking them out in case of tantrums etc as they are so little and obviously no concept of how to conform socially in that environment but knew it was a family friendly pub. Ordered them meals off kids menu and the staff kindly accepted requests to serve on a plate to cool quicker. The food was fine and as you’d expect for the venue and price. After eating the kids got restless and had had enough of colouring. I decided to let my 1 yr old stretch her legs and the eldest followed. It was a quiet day and only a few tables seated. They were walking round the entrance and looking at fruit machines. Other diners commented how cute my little girl was toddling as she was learning to walk. My eldest had a quick cheeky dash behind the bar when no staff were there and I quickly called him back. An older man then spoke to me as we passed his table on way to get our coats and asked that I take my children elsewhere as they were trying to have a quiet meal. I commented the children had been seated and quiet all thoroughout waiting for and eating their meal and that is was a family friendly pub serving kids meals. His response was that it was a restaurant with a bar (I would dispute) and that I should take them next door. I commented I was but it wasn’t yet open and there is nowhere to wait or play outside as the pub nor next door has outdoor play areas. He commented I should leave and I was very upset and shocked. I informed the male and female staff and they were lovely, they commented the children had not bothered them and offered them halloween sweets and encouraged us to stay. I have been left upset and ruminating on this all day as it is already stressful thinking about taking little ones out when you never know how they’ll manage these types of environments and I would rather let them explore safely with me than sit on screens. The pub was very quiet which is also why I allowed this. However it was very much helped by the kind staff and the gesture of the sweets left me feeling welcome and I would definitely return so thank you"

This was a super fun night, always great entertainment and the bar staff are lovely. We had some delay on food but the staff offered us a free round and Hannah saw to it amazingly. Great customer service and great environment.

Opted for the Wednesday curry night. Good chicken curry with rice, poppadoms and nan bread. Plenty of chicken and tasty. Hubby had rogan josh not a lot of lamb. Friendly service from Laura. Next time we would book as I think a drink is included according to website Visualizza piatti

We had a table booked for 7 30 to celebrate my brother's belated 60th. The service was so poor and so slow. Food was bland when it finally came. We did not get our main until 9pm. To add to this a member of our party had ordered a additional dish it never came with no explanation. They may have been short staffed but customer service needs to improve.

A late afternoon/ very early evening meal. We ordered via the QR code on the table, although you can order at the bar if you prefer! Our meals took less than 20 minutes to be served. They were hot and enjoyable and in nice comfortable surroundings. There was a good choice of cask conditioned ales and other drinks available. Would definitely recommend it.

We arrived around 1:45pm on Sunday. The pub wasn’t too busy, which made the long wait of over 45 minutes for the food inexcusable. When the good was brought out it did not match the description on the menu with several items missing. When we queried this, some but not all, of the items were brought out in separate bowls and we did receive an apology. Having said that the food was well cooked and tasty. It was a shame that one of the waitresses was making an awful noise sliding chairs and tables across the floor, making everyone cringe! Visualizza piatti

We’ve ordered from here a few times via Deliveroo and the first couple of times were absolutely fine and the food was great, the last 3 times have been awful! Mainly due to the orders being wrong, due to allergies the burger has been ordered plain which is clearly on the deliveroo receipt attached to the bag but every time the pub gets it wrong honestly it’s like they plaster extra sauce on so the person can’t eat it and end up just having chips! it’s also previously done this with others items so I wouldn’t recommend ordering through delivery Apps.

If you want cold food served by uninterested staff, the. You won’t be disappointed. We went fir lunch , one ordered soup and a toasted ciabatta, the other hunters chicken off the Ember Classics menu. The soup was cool , the ciabatta similar. No spoon fir the soup, no knife for the butter, The hunters chicken came dry, no bbq sauce. When we took it to the waiter and enquired where the bbq sauce was, we were told it was “inside the chicken “ . Interesting, and of course it wasn’t. The dry) chicken was warm, not hot the chips similar. After a while it wasn’t particularly busy) a waiter eventually came to us and asked were we enjoying our meal , my husband told him he was eating it as quickly as...
