"This pub needs to up it’s game, it maybe recently refurbished to a high standard, and is clearly popular, but service and quality is erratic and not good value. Had a table booked for my Wedding anniversary meal with my wife. Upon arrival there seemed to be an issue with the table booking/software taking longer than it should to get us to the table, not the best start. Once seated no drinks offered at that point – I had to ask. Drinks then didn’t appear for about 15 minutes (after the starter had arrived and I had to ask for them again (lost order by the bar apparently . The billing was in a mess and we were asked twice during the meal to repeat back what we had ordered, the first time being presented with the wrong bill. The food, whilst it tasted OK (though I regularly cook better at home , portions were shamefully small considering the price, and even at a lower price point I would expect more on the plate. The Salmon my wife ordered did not make you feel like you had eaten a good meal and looked nothing like the photo here on TA (provided by the management! which is clearly the same dish and shows about double the portion size she received. My Linguini was tasty but contained around 3 prawns and 2 muscles. This is a rip off. This was not just us, our neighbour and 5 friends were on the next table and their food turned up in dribs and drabs and was not as described with portions very lacking in size. Apparently they were short staffed in the restaurant area so a special mention to Lucy who did an amazing job considering the pressure and difficulties of the busy Saturday evening – she gets 5 stars thanks. However, we won’t be returning to eat anytime soon, the management need to look carefully at staffing levels, their training, and portions of food at this price point. Maybe the pub is aiming at a fine dining experience (it’s not but regardless, to avoid this sort of bad press they need to learn from restaurants that do know what they are doing and do it really well with attention to the detail and consistency of the product they are delivering."

Met a friend for dinner. Very overwhelmed by noisy and cramped seating plan in bar area of restaurant, not enough room for our dishes. Food was under seasoned and very overpriced.

Walked my dog here on a Friday morning, we were warmly welcomed by who seemed to be the manager, we ordered 2 cappuccinos and they brought them out to the garden for us. We sat in the sunshine and it was lovely. A hidden spot...

Came with my partner, we enjoyed a nice grazing meal of 3 different plates. As recommended by staff, and then a few drinks at the bar. It was busy but the food still came quickly, some of the plates were quite small, but the burger...

Came in when the football was on just before Christmas, sat infront of the huge garden television under the heaters. There was a burger and pint deal on which was great, and they let me have a glass of wine instead of a pint. Delicious...

Exceptionally disappointed with food. Not much of a menu . Ordered sea food linguini. Seafood consisted of .2 prawns, 1 x cm square bit of salmon and 1/4 piece scallop. Complained and was given 3 more small pieces of salmon. …. Linguini was quite tasty...

I would dine here again but had a few niggles and observations. I feel that the style is rather confused, the image and decor is ‘smart’ dining but they are also trying to be casual. And with that sadly this shows the lack of professional service. As l have an old school background in catering and restaurant service so l was not impressed by the waitress’s lack of knowledge of the menu, among other things…. Such as dessert cutlery plonked on the table after our dessert had arrived, instead of carried to the table on a cutlery plate before they came out. Then being charged separately for the deserts that should have been included in the set menu. Finally, l understand the reason a supplement...
