"One of the worst experiences we’ve had in a very long time. We arrived for our 4:30pm pre-booked table only to be welcomed by staff with puzzled faces. It seemed that our table booking had not actually been reserved or set up. Fortunately, the pub wasn’t busy and we were allocated a table (right in view of the bar). We quickly ordered our drinks at the bar and took them over to our table. We then spent around 20 minutes deciding what food to order. We were informed that our order needed to be ordered at the bar so we made our way there and relayed our food order to one of the staff members who put it through their system. The young lady who took our order repeated it back to us and it was all correct. Naturally, we made our way back to our table to enjoy our drinks and wait for our food. 45 minutes went by and still no food. I decided to ask one of the waitresses for an update as to how long we would be waiting. I explained that we had onward plans and so just wanted an idea on how long the food would be. The young lady went to the kitchen. She then returned to our table and said that our order would be another 10 minutes and the wait was ‘on the fish’. I explained that the only fish we had ordered was a side dish and we would be happy to receive the rest of the food. Another 15 minutes passed and not only had we received no food, but no update. I approached a different member of staff and explained the situation. That member of staff then went into the kitchen. She then came out of the kitchen and walked straight past our table and towards the bar area where we could see the staff talking between themselves. Within a few minutes, the member of staff who we spoke to initially stormed out of the kitchen swearing at the kitchen staff. It made us feel really uncomfortable. A different member of staff (somebody who I think had just started their shift) then came over to our table to explain our food order hadn’t made its way to the kitchen. This was despite a staff member having laid our table with cutlery and condiments and the false information given about the wait on the fish. Despite the half hearted apology and confirmation we would not need to pay for our drinks, the service provided was abysmal. I was told that the manager was too busy in the kitchen to come and speak to us and I was asked to leave my contact details so that they could contact me (I didn’t ask to speak to the manager but I would have expected them to address the situation with us directly, especially considering how quiet the dining area was). It was abundantly clear that the staff recognised how poor their service had been and were not in any way willing to address it at the time. I am still yet to hear from management. We have eaten here before and not had any problems. It’s a shame that this experience has now meant that we will be very reluctant to return in the future. It would have been very different if the staff had dealt with the situation honestly and sincerely."

"We visited at 12.30 for Mother’s Day. We were shown to our table straight away and it was a comfortable table by the door for five of us. The staff were so friendly and chatty, my mum and myself were given a free glass of wine to celebrate MD, which we thought was a really nice touch. Once my son arrived we ordered our food,there is plenty of choice of traditional sunday lunches. Three of us ordered the lamb shank and one chicken and one beef. Our food didn’t take too long and they were very busy. There was plenty of choice of veg, roast mashed potatoes, carrots, cauliflower cheese, cabbage, broccoli, red cabbage, we all had a large Yorkshire pudding with all meals. Everyone said it was one the best sunday lunches they’ve had, my lamb was so tender and my son said his beef was perfectly cooked too and my husband said his was the best chicken he’s ever had in a restaurant and we had an extra jug of gravy. Everything was cooked perfectly and came on really nice. Trendy crockery. Four of us decided to have pudding even though we were full, I had apple rhubarb crumble with custard and it was a huge home made portion and piping hot it also tasted delicious, my mum son opted for the cheesecake and they said it was beautiful and one other had the treacle tart with clotted cream, everyone agreed it was all beautiful and we would definitely recommend a visit, we will definitely not be going anywhere else for sunday lunch. The service and food was brilliant, our bill for 4x 2 courses and 1x1 course, three and half pints of Timothy Taylor and a large Sauvignon blanc came to a very reasonable £134.80."
