Myself and a colleague came in for lunch today with a client we support and we were very impressed. Immediately we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff who showed us to a convenient table. The food options on offer were great and superb value especially on the 2 Mains for £15.00 menu. Food arrived quickly and was extremely well presented and excellent quality. Very tasty and good sized portions. Again very attentive, happy staff members. The venue itself is superb with a very relaxing environment and lovely decor and a great outdoor area. We will definitely be returning. Thank you very

Staff and pub nice BUT!!!! Had to listen to dog barking constantly as singer doing his best to sing through the barking. We couldn't hear each other over the barking then selfish owners sat the massive dog between them on the seats l have photo proof as it sniffed all the table so don't go in decent clothes or eat from the dog tables. Surely staff should have asked them to leave as they had 4 YES FOUR dogs at one table. Disgusting selfish behaviour. From the owners as well as the dogs!!

Very slow service, I ordered the smokey beef chilli and what came was a bowl of browned Mince, the server was embarrassed and offered something else, I ordered gammon and it was alright... couldn't have chips with it as they would take an extra 40 minutes and as the rest of my family had already eaten I didn't see the point so just had a side salad - it was fine. Full of gimmicks - instead of plates there were chopping boards which the meat juices ran off and stained our trousers🤦‍♂️. Didn't seem to be anybody in charge and kitchen seemed overwhelmed - I saw 5 tables. The waitress said

Owners done some fantastic additions to the beer garden, also I think they're building an outside stage. Hope they're going to have some good music.

What a rip off!
Massively overpriced and very poor quality.
They can't even pour a pint of beer.....flat as...!
The burger pictured is £11 FFS.
By far the worst pub food in the area. AVOID.

Booked a table here for 6 of us. Staff polite, friendly and attentive. Spacious area with lots of inside and outside seating.
We all ordered something different from the menu, and we all enjoyed. Would definitely eat/drink here again 🍽🥂

Lovely beer garden - shame the view of the water is covered a bit by advertising - a nice open view of the lake would be nice ! However nice place - huge portions of food / the fish and chips could have fed two of us - very good - and the burger piggy in the middle was great - no wonder we had to walk 3 miles as nostell priory afterwards

We ordered takeout from here last night and it was great. The portion sizes were fantastic and the food was high quality. It was as close to eating out as we could have asked for without actually being able to eat out and made a lovely change from the normal, greasy takeout food that is available from most other places. If you want some good, proper food I'd recommend ordering from here. It's a little bit pricier than most takeouts but that's to be expected given the difference in food quality and the fact that you're paying for proper pub food so, for us, worth paying a bit extra. I'm looking
