"We visited today and glad we had booked! We received a very warm greeting at the door and were shown to a good sized table with large comfortable chairs. Even though the beamed ceilings are low it did not feel claustrophobic. The decor is tasteful, and everywhere was clean and neat. The tables are not too close to each other and positioned so that it didn’t feel like a canteen. We were greeted warmly by a lady who took our drinks order. These arrived swiftly. Our food order was taken promptly and we were impressed that she checked for any allergies first. We went for the roast with a trio of meats. There were chicken, pork and beef. Each of these were cooked to absolute perfection. Homemade Yorkshires was a welcome change compared to most pubs. Large, crisp and light. The crackling, potatoes, stuffing, and roasted veg were all delicious. They were cooked to perfection and so well seasoned that nothing needed salt or pepper adding. We ordered the trio of veg and potatoes to share, because they sounded so delicious (and they were) but we probably didn’t need to. The BEST Dauphinoise we’ve ever had! Bottomless gravy was another welcome change. Our very friendly, efficient and helpful waitress Aimee checked back on us swiftly and then regularly. Everything was just perfect with the main course, and despite feeling full we forced down the trio of desserts to share, and the too tempting Baileys Chocolate Martini! The ambience was perfect too. No loud music or chairs scraping, due to carpets. All of the staff seemed genuinely happy to be there and our waitress Aimee is a credit to the business. (We were the party with the nippy dog sorry). The plate of treats for our dog was a lovely touch too. We have already booked for the very reasonably priced Christmas meal. If it’s this good on a busy day then we are very confident for our next visit. Highly recommended."

"What a disappointing meal. We were so excited to try your Sunday Roast which we had booked for over 1 month, as we have heard so many great reviews via word of mouth from friend's, and online/social media. Sadly, we couldn't have been more disappointed. We arrived and were taken straight to our table. Lovely waitress, took our order prompt and got our drinks quickly. Even a treat for our dog. As our order was taken (2 roast dinners and a side of mac and cheese), a group of around 10 woman came in and sat beside us. We had noticed this table set out on arrival, there were Christmas crackers etc out so clearly in for the festive meal meal. We weren't advised/warned that a large party were due to arrive. What we walked into was a lovely, quiet corner of the room which was really relaxed, quickly turned into a rather loud room over all when this party arrived, we had to shout over to one another to have a discussion. We were disappinted that we weren't warned that this party would be in at the same time as us, as it quickly got so loud that it was pointless us even having a discussion as we couldnt hear one another. We waited 40minutes before asking the waitress where our food was, as the larger parter had their food delivered to them. We were told it was just coming out. I asked again another 15minutes later where our food was as we still hadn't received it. Our food arrived shortly after, cold. It was clear that both plates had been sitting out for a while and not freshly plated. The roast potatoes were cold and dry. The meat was dry and cold. The bread sauce had a layer of skin over it and cold. We sent these plates back for them to only return 2 minutes later. The same plates reappeared. The plates themselves were warm, but the food, cold/look warm. At this point we asked for the bill and to leave. So disappointing as we had high hopes and expectations. We were looking forward to this meal for weeks; we were sad that we weren't pre-warned that we would be seated next to a large party, that food may take longer than expected, and that our food had clearly been forgotten about but had not been told this and were advised that the kitchen was just busy. When the plates were sent back to us, they had just been microwaved. I'd have presumed fresh, hot food on a new plate would have been indicated?! Furthermore, we were charged for the drinks and the side of mac n cheese!!! We hadn't touch the main meals, had eaten a quarter of the mac and cheese due to being so hungry. Although we were apologised too, it would have been appreciated to have not had to pay for the hour and 45mins that we were sat, with no food, then to be served stale, dry food and to leave with sore heads worsening from the noise surrounding us. Will not be back."
