"I have visited this place so many times for drinks and sometimes for food, never had a cause for real complaint, BUT THAT HAS CHANGED, as the place, food wise has gone seriously downhill. It was a family do, so no one wanted to complain really at the time but if it had been just me or two of us I think I would have walked out. We were there for Sunday lunch, one of the worst ever, rock hard broccoli, not al dente more like break your teeth. Roast potatoes also very hard on the outside, not crispy, just tough, with a texture of cardboard and tasteless gravy. All you get for Sunday lunch is a smallish amount of meat, uncooked broccoli, hard potatoes, picked red cabbage which seems totally out of place here and tasteless watery gravy, no apple sauce OR STUFFING with the pork, no horseradish with beef, all lacked the usual trimmings for Sunday roasts, uninspiring, unappetizing and POOR VALUE.. The fish and chips was only slightly better, small portion of fish and not real chips, just the thin ones. Even Wetherspoons would be better, ACTUALLY THEIR FISH AND CHIPS are far, far better and MUCH cheaper too. Ironically I had starved myself to make room for a big roast, no need for that sadly. Has the management changed or the chef left as I have had great pub meals here just a few months ago. If the manager reads this review, I say pull your socks up as you've gone downhill and have great competition nearby from at least 4 other pubs, 3 of which definitely serve really great food, as I have eaten in them all recently. TO SUM UP, NICE PLACE FOR A DRINK, BUT AVOID EATING HERE UNLESS IT RETURNS TO HOW IT WAS. GROSSLY OVER PRICED FOR THE QUALITY AND QUALITY. PS I TOLD the waiter the broccoli was inedible and to please bring us some more but cooked properly, after we had finished eating, broccoli still on the plates, he apologized as they had been far too busy to do anything about it, disgraceful service and attitude. !!!"
