We stopped for a quick bite in between restoring power to homes (a very long shift). Normally we'd only manage a takeaway or fast food.
The food was amazing. Probably the best steak pie I've eaten. The portion size was good, to the point after not eating for 12hrs I still left some.
Highly recommended!

Thank goodness we only booked 1 night, the room was small no pug in the sink, the bed was clean and comfortable. The lady serving the drinks was very pleasant, we were there on a Sunday night the only food available was a carvery or Pizza. we ordered the carvery, the food was in a hot plate and had been out from Lunch time we ate at 7.30 so was not the best,
we then sat to have a couple of drinks before retiring, the door to the kitchen leads into the bar and as kept open, a radio was on and turned up so load we couldn't hear our selves talk, the chef/manager was banging metal food containers

The place was gross, food was overcooked and bland, glasses were dirty. We were greeted at the door by a cloud of flies, we would have turned about if we were more familiar with the area. Picked the carvery and it was nothing short of rank. Meat tough as boot leather and veg for the most was bland. Halfway through the meal I noticed the swarm of flies over the carvery. All in all a manky experience. I would avoid if I were you... At least the table was clean 🤷

On the main road, but despite being busy and late we were able to get served on tables outside.
Thank you to the lovely lady...I think you were the manager.....for finding ourselves a table inside as well after we ordered.
Food was good sized portions and made a change from cooking at our cottage.
If it wasn't for the fact it was at the end of our holiday, we would have come again
Lovely service and the bar staff were all so polite too..

Nice place but the Sunday dinner we had was not that great. The staff were great, very helpful and although they brought our main out before out starter it was soon rectified and they were only too happy to sort it. The place needs someone to manage the food side of things properly as we waited longer than expected too. This maybe due to the reopening issues some places may be having but a lot more effort need putting into the quality of food when served before I would give more than 2 stars.
