"Waiting staff made several mistakes without any apology or trying to rectify the issue for us and we had to leave without eating. Firstly we had to swap an espresso martini as there was more foam than there was liquid and it came back exactly the same. My partner ordered Coca Cola and the waiter brought out a corona beer. My Sunday dinner main came out stone cold and I had to ask to return it. Again the waiting staff did not apologise for this. When the food came back without the vegetables on the plate, the sides we ordered were then cold and the beef was no longer pink, so the meal had clearly been stuck under an oven to heat it. Then the meal came out with no roast potatoes but were replaced with parsnips. It looked like it had just been thrown onto another plate after reheating but without half the components of the meal. After all this we decided that we didn’t want the meal anymore due to how badly the staff had handled this. One or two small errors is understandable but to have so many across the team (bar, waiting staff, and kitchen) is inexcusable and especially the lack of any kind of apology or enthusiasm to try and sort the situation. They offered no compensation for this other than to take the mains off the bill, and again there still was no apology and they didn’t even say goodbye when we left. It’s such a shame as me and my partner came the week before and had a lovely experience so we only put it down to the staff that were on that day. We also heard two other tables nearby complaining about other things to the staff, so it must not have been just us experiencing problems that day. Never had auch a poor experience in a restaurant, and this was all despite it being a quiet Sunday with not many guests."

"We used to frequent this pub on a regular basis, but then there were several new managers in quick succession and the quality of the food and the service went downhill, so we stopped going. However, we found out that this pub had a new manager so we decided to try it again and booked for Sunday lunch. Well what a difference! On arrival we were warmly greeted by the new manager Ian and we could not have been made to feel more welcome. The pub certainly felt a lot cleaner and more welcoming. The menu was similar to when we were last here but the drinks menu had changed slightly there were no prices for buying the wine by a bottle, but just ask at the bar if you want the price of a bottle. The choice of roast dinners were the same as on our previous visit and we both ordered the chicken supreme. The food was excellent with a range of roasted and steamed vegetables along with a large Yorkshire pudding and proper roast potatoes. We were personally able to thank the chef Stuart for cooking us a ‘proper’ Sunday lunch. All of the waiting staff were polite and attentive and we felt that nothing was too much trouble when we asked for something. Well done Ian for starting to turn this place around and many thanks to the chef Stuart and his support team in the kitchen. This pub is so much better than when we last visited and we feel that it can only improve further under Ian’s leadership. During the week there is a curry night, a pie night and a fish and chips deal on a Friday, so there is something for everyone. If you have previously been and were disappointed now is the time to return and give it another try…."
