"Passing on the way back from Skipton, fancied a Sunday roast and saw this was on Tripadvisor as highly rated so took a chance and glad we did. The tables were clean and service quick, a nice girl with blonde hair and braids served us and was very efficient. Our food arrived on large plates, not much of any one veg but it was surprisingly filling, the lamb was falling off the bone, gravy so rich and flavoursome, broccoli sweet and perfectly cooked, parsnips so sweet, the yorkshire was large and roasties crispy. Could have done with a little more mash and puree but it was nice and as I say very filling, the whole dish was an autumnal seasonal delight created with good ingredients and thought to create a rich and flavoursome dish."

"The menu had a decent variety, though it wasn’t particularly extensive and I was surprised not to see a specials menu. I chose the fish and chips with garden peas, while my friend ordered the chicken and leek pie after enjoying a starter of creamy garlic mushrooms. The portion sizes were impressive; the fish was one of the largest I've encountered in a pub or restaurant, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The chips were tasty, but a few were quite thick and slightly undercooked. For dessert, I opted for the chocolate orange cheesecake. It was delicious, but given the price, I felt the portion could have been larger. Unfortunately, I can't say whether I would return, as it seems this establishment is set to close in 2023. Based on my experience, I doubt that the closure has anything to do with the food quality."

"This lovely pub has had many ups and downs in the last five years, spending many of them closed, COVID and brewery to blame. Finally it is being run as a pub pub and not some up it's own bottom restaurant type place. The pool table has returned, there's a jukebox, and fruit machines. The staff are friendly and work hard. The menu is on the basic side, which I personally don't have a problem with, after all it's a pub not a restaurant, and given the size of the kitchen they do a grand job. Meals are well presented and it's good grub reasonably priced. They now have a good selection of beers, cider etc. and not the usual tat. A very nice location along side the Leeds Liverpool canal, ideal for walkers, cyclists, and boaters alike. Large fenced beer garden ideal for families. Dogs welcome. Good luck to Michelle and the team you deserve it."

"This is by far the worst meal out experience I’ve had in my life which has driven me to leave this review as soon as we left sitting in my car. They took other people’s orders before ours and totally forgot us, waitress was getting frustrated at us when we asked questions to do with the menu (also didn’t make eye contact but just huffed and puffed, they brought us a number of wrong dishes that they later changed and my sons dish happened to be wrong that I realised halfway through him eating it. Steve (their waiter and a very nice man) acknowledged it was wrong and said it would be knocked off the bill, the man at the bar along with the female waitress who took our order proceeded to literally shout at me because we notified them about that dish at the end. To start with, she said it was right until she checked with the kitchen, but still she wouldn’t apologise. Never have I felt that disrespected and verbal aggression towards be by restaurant workers. Even 2 other tables next to us told my wife that the service had been terrible. And just to top it off, mine and my wife’s dishes had no flavour whatsoever! Avoid this place, it’s expensive and you’d get a better meal and service at your local takeaway. Photo is the dish they tried to tell us was ‘house hot spicy chicken wings’, when Steve (their nice waiter) clearly told us that it was their ‘house Cantonese wings’! I know Chinese, and this dish was clearly Cantonese sauce!"

"My partner and I were treated to a spot of lunch by my parents today. First time for us but the 'rents had raved about it for a long time on their many visits by canal boat to the area.The food was delicious. Home cooked and generous portions with so much to choose from. The service was spot on too, very friendly and looked after us so well, even during these Covid19 times. All social distancing and government guidelines well in place and adhered to. The processes they have in place work well and visitors are clearly instructed on what to do. Will definitely return and recommend to anyone, top class hearty homecooked food, friendly service and very reasonably priced. Will be back!"
