"We walked to this village pub and decided to have food. The drinks were a fair price, and there appeared a decent menu. We had some chicken fillets to start, which were okay. However, the mains are very dreadful. The chips on both meals looked as though they had been fried ten times, simply burnt as was the fish which was simply inedible. The excuse for mushy peas was dry and bland. The gammon was overcooked, and both meals were saturated with salt but no condiments on the outside table. The lady serving was pleasant enough, and we gave feedback. She advised the locals don't go anymore I won't be going back either. Part of the excuse was that they didn't decide the food Punch Taverns agreed on the menu that was irrelevant as no matter how good the food was it was massively overcooked and laced with salt."

This is a cracking bar for afternoon drinks in the sun. Nice outdoor area would definitely recommend reasonably price.

First time calling into the Avenue and it was a great choice. The bar is really welcoming with friendly staff and a really pleasant atmosphere. We had the set menu special offer (2 courses for £11.95) and the food was excellent. This is a great local pub and restaurant and we’ll definitely be back.

We booked for a party of 6 today for Sunday lunch. The atmosphere was really nice and warm, service efficient and friendly and the food was very tasty. Highlights of everyone’s meals were the chicken, Yorkshire puddings and sausages. The portions were good size and we were all full! Desserts also lovely particularly apple raspberry crumble and brownie fudge cake. We will definitely be going again. Highly recommended. Thank you for a fab lunch. Well done

Unfortunately it’s gone down hill but hopefully with a few changes it will be great again Visited on 27/11/23 upon arrival lady working the bar was chatting to someone at end of bar having waited 5/10 minutes approached to ask if the kitchen was open, she stated no in a sharp tone and rolled eyes An explication on when it may reopen or modified tone would have gone a long way. We were visiting with family from out of the area and they commented how rude and cold service was.

"Started off really well and went over to the counter and ordered a crepe with banana and Nutella and specifically stated no strawberries I also asked for a San Pelegríno still water as this was on the menu also. I was the first person to order and the last to eat in the end. I got brought my water over which was a cheaper brand water that I just paid £2 for what would I have liked to have seen ? We’ll when I asked for san pelligrino still water to be told that they don’t have that in. Finally my crepe comes and I take a bite and realise that it’s got strawberries in all the way through which I’m allergic too. One of my family members takes it back and says that I asked for banana not strawberry there’s a reason why I can’t eat it and didn’t want it on my crepe. Then 5 minutes later another crepe comes out that was my bitten crepe that someone had opened up and picked the strawberries out and put banana in. Disgusting absolutely … not sure if this was a mistake or just being stingy either way it’s not on. It then again gets returned because there is no way I am eating that and it gets explained once again there is a reason I can’t eat strawberries to which then one of the owners comes over to serve the correct crepe and apologise . I really hope a lesson was learnt today because cross contamination is not a joke. Please be careful when eating there. I didn’t get offered a refund but then again they were willing to serve me a bitten crepe again so it didn’t surprise me that much."
