"Went for mothers day with the family. The booking system was great and the pub came back to me promptly with a query I raised. the pub externally is looking quite tired, there was what looked like an abandoned car out the front so first impressions weren't great. We were seated in the upper section of the restaurant, which really lacks any character and makes you feel as if you're sitting right in the thoroughfare for the kitchen. The set mothers day menu seemed good for the price, 3 courses at just under £25. We asked if we could swap a starter dish from the standard menu with the mothers day but we're refused. Out of the party we ordered 2 roast dinners, these weren't great. They came swimming in gravy which unfortunately wasn't a very nice tasting so ruined the meal. The roast potatoes were so bland and tasted like they had been frozen. The real disappointment came at pudding, we ordered the chocolate brownie bites from the children's menu, firstly to be told there was one left then told they'd run out. My son opted for the ice-cream instead then to overhear (when the waitress was serving our desserts the waitress very loudly announce to another waitress that the brownie bites were back on (not sure how they had found them all of a sudden? , would have been better firstly not to announce this across the restaurant as my son overheard and secondly if there was going to be a delay on the bites then it would have been nice to have the option. Had expected a much better experience. There are many other pubs in the area so I'll be opting for another one for our next outing."
