The pub was empty so no atmosphere.
I had toad in the hole that had been re heated in the oven so the edges were very brown . The veg and mash was also re heated . Def not the best .
My partner had chicken curry which had a taste of sweet and sour .
Quite expensive for what we received. Will not be returning

Enjoyed an early Christmas dinner here, home cooked food and lots of it, and reasonable prices
I would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely pub, although last year standard of food has dropped. Eaten 4 or 5 times I last few months, 1st time served wrong cheese, 2nd time with friends, not bad, then went with colleagues for Xmas meal. 3 of us had 2 courses, 1 had 1 course, very slow service so had to leave, was charged full price and told we could take our desserts with us, took mince pies not dessert. Wording on menu led us to believe we didn't have to have 3 courses, but apparently not the case!
Visited today, no soup, no curry or toad In hole. Ordered chicken wraps, no chicken wraps, but curry and toad in hole now available

A pub lunch with a round of drinks - simple remit that was taken care of very capably. The steady flow of customers during the Sunday lunchtime session showed the popularity of the pub, but never at any point did we feel rushed. Good food, good drinks - well done.

Really nice range of meals, my favourites are the lasagne, ploughmans and vegetable curry but I’ve never had a bad meal. I’ve never left hungry, the portions are generous and the staff are lovely! Welcoming and friendly. Nothing not to like.

Lovely meal for our mums 80th birthday. Thank you so much for accommodating us all. Well worth travelling to for a special night out. Great food & drinks, generous portions, very reasonable prices and friendly welcoming staff. Really made mums night

We had a fabulous meal today! The homemade chicken pie was more than delicious and the fish pie was wonderful! Plenty of lovely vegetables.
The staff were terrific and we will definitely go there again!

Never been here. Only drove past!! .Edit .... well my family did end up eating here. A half empty pub on a sunday says it all really.
Dull food & the only beer on tap tasted like sweet n sour. Constantly being stared at by the staff makes you think of fawlty towers... Only Fawlty towers is rather funny, this establishment isn't.

Attended with elderly relatives , good menu, food cooked very well , served in good time portions slightly too big for most of us , but im sure the dog enjoyed his doggy bag.
Prices reasonable and young girls who served us were welcoming ,did not make us feel hurried, and polite.
