"I 'm not usually one to complain or write bad reviews, but this place deserves special mention for what was almost definitely the worst pub/restaurant experience of my life thus far.Firstly, after the 6 of us were sat down upstairs, it took over 25 mins for a server to ask us for any drinks, with tables around us that had arrive later being served before us, In the end we had to go downstairs to ask for someone to come up, they eventually did. Insult was added to injury when we saw the table next to us had 8 people on it , a clear breach of rules and a bit annoying giving we had let down some of our friends who wanted to come.We ordered 3 bottles of prosecco as they were half price as well as our food. Another 30 mins then passed, I am aware pubs have just reopened and it is busy, but to sit in what is a pub and wait over 45 mins to get a drink is ridiculous. I then asked a nearby server (small middle aged woman) if she could look into where our drinks were as we had been waiting over 45 mins and if they had forgotten the order, she then proceeded to laugh at the prospect we had waited that long, patronised me about it and laughed in my face, at one point even tapping me on the shoulder laughing saying Oh . Come on . I then asked if she could bring her manager up as tbh i was pretty seething, needless to say the manager never came.The drinks were then eventually brought up and we got on with our night, unfortunately matters only got worse when the food was brought out.(Now 1hr 30 since we entered the pub).I have attached photos ....I understand it is a pub so i don 't expect Michelin star cooking but I expect a lot better than what I received. Having paid 18 pound for the Philly Cheese Steak I expect it to at least be edible. My friend ordered a burger and got an equally distasteful meal. All of the other meals were equally poor and lukewarm, only have photos of a couple.I cannot stress to you how bad it was, I am by no means a food snob i will eat at roadside cafes , burger vans etc and enjoy it, it takes a lot for something to be inedible for me, but please never eat here. For the price you pay around 20 per main, you can do a lot better at Mc Donalds and get your food 10x quicker"

"Stopped coming here a year ago because of many issues, but reluctantly retuned early June to find the place had transformed back to what i remembered from years gone. Warm and welcoming with a lovely atmosphere. Everything was a plus the staff were so friendly one Emily in particular. We as a family thought new owners had taken over. As the management seemed different and to be fair the food was amazing. and despite the cost this was a treat that was truly worth it. We all couldn't wait to return. However fast forward a few months we all returned as a group to be so disappointed in the whole experience. The atmosphere we loved seemed to have disappeared and the feeling of warmth had gone. service was average but the food was so below par. we decided to ask why this had happened but was met by rudeness on a great scale by a young man claiming to be the assistant. Who claimed no one else had complained so what was the problem. No apology at all. We were goin to ask for a full refund but my wife decided to leave as she was too upset. The Manager came out as we left. too late if me and my whole party were concerned. I'm sure he was the Chef before, Perhaps he should return to the kitchen. This has always been considered a treat at the bunk what with the cost of living crisis. But myself and my friends will now spend our money somewhere else where you can get real value for money where people know what customer service and standards really are and your given that feeling that you would love to return. Here none of us will return and hope this review and experience may help others when thinking of treating themselves or using those extra pennies that are precious. Have no idea what is goin on here what a disaster. We all felt Cheated."
