"We live locally and have never been so when we saw a Groupon, we were tempted. The menu was quite limited via the Groupon (2 starters, 3 mains, house red white wine). We upgraded the wine by paying the difference, potentially could have done so with the mains as well. Groupon was for 2 people, with 2 courses plus wine but son ordered from menu. Sat in the garden as finally summer has arrived. Service was polite and friendly. We had white bait to start, which was pleasant. 55 minute wait for mains, which left us with a hangry teen who had not ordered a starter. 2 of the mains were great aubergine parmigiana and fish chips. The chicken dish for £17.95 was more miss than hit, too many flavours with chicken wrapped around sundried tomatoes, cream cheese and spinach and served with some kind of sauce gravy (this is not on the menu on the website or I’d double check). We felt the chicken would have been better served with salad, but they’d served it almost as part of a roast with potatoes and broccoli. Only other moan was the drunk clientele in the garden. I’d hazard a guess at estate agents, they were clearly regulars as they knew the staff. While this isn’t the venue’s fault, it certainly is their issue if putting other people off. It would have been nice to have a lean to sit inside from staff. If you enjoy bar stool philosophy, rock up on an early Friday night to the Tudors. If you’re just going for the food, it’s basically pub grub."
