"Visited for lunch. The menu looked promising however unfortunately that promise was unfulfilled. I ordered Nachos for a shared starter and a Chicken β€˜Sizzler’(otherwise known as Fajitas). Possibly two of the easiest dishes to prepare that have ever found their way onto a pub menu. Bad choice I’m not sure how it is possible to get nachos wrong but they managed it here. Perhaps it was the way that the chips, cheese AND the Salsa were thrown together and then nuked, I suspect in a microwave but possibly they did use the oven. Result soggy chips and a sloppy mess served without any Guacomole because they had run out but the kitchen did not tell the server so no apology. Next the Chicken Sizzler. Now I’m not a chef but I know this dish is normally cooked by griddling the chopped veg until they are just cooked, sometimes slightly charred. I’m not sure the veg in this dish ever went anywhere near a griddle or similar. My guess is that the was simply heated in a microwave and then topped with microwaved chicken pieces that had been supplied pre cooked complete with β€˜fake’ char grill lines. To be fair the chicken was OK but the veg was limp, tasteless and was served swimming in an oily, watery liquid (see photo). How is it possible to make such a mess of what is a simple dish? I was later told that the peppers are supplied pre sliced; maybe knives are not allowed in that kitchen, I suspect the disgusting liquid they were served in was in the plastic bag they were delivered in. Quite frankly the Nachos and the Sizzler were the worst examples of these dishes I have ever been served with. My Mum’s scampi and chips looked OK but the Scampi was absolutely scolding inside .. I suspect the good old microwave may have been pushed into action again. Good points, at least it was open on a Monday lunchtime, my Latte was OK, and the staff were all friendly. We won’t however be going back."

I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. The mixed grill was great value for money, and the pint I had was well poured. The menu offers a good variety of options. There's plenty of parking available, but I'd recommend making a reservation in advance since it tends to get quite busy. The staff were friendly and attentive too. View menu

We waited an hour for our food to be served, after giving the waitress a nudge (they had clearly forgotten our order order). The food was disgusting and overpriced. Plates were swimming in water. Seasonal vegetables consisted of manky carrots and peas. Steak supposed to be medium to rare, was rare. Awful. Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 1

Sunday carvery here was OK but nothing special. The meat selection was fine and well cooked, but the vegetables were bland. The service was pretty poor, and after waiting ages for our desserts, only some of them turned up. By the time the rest appeared, everyone else had finished! Price per person: Β£20–30 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 2 View menu

Pretty quiet when I turned up. Only stayed the night, but was comfortable, and the gaffer and other punters in their were spot on, chatty and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable, exactly what was needed. Only draw back was didn't do food. Not a problem, though, as plenty of eateries and takeaways close by. Price per person: Β£10–20 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Sadly lacking... meat and broccoli good. Everything else very lacklustre. Lukewarm. Sloppy. No service or direction. Staff need training to meet and greet. Disappointed. Will not recommend. Having owned a restaurant we found the whole experience lacking. Lumpy potatoes unacceptable with appliances available to avoid this. Hard roasties. Not asked at all throughout if we were content. Such a shame Price per person: Β£10–20

"when we arrived, there was a 15 min waiting for a table for 4 people. that in my head was a good thing, and what can I say, but I was right. I go out for dinner and give a 5-star rating without being a bit generous, but in this case I don't have to be generous. this is really a 5-star evaluation site. the price is reasonable and this is reflected in the size of the drank. large but not too large and very fillable. the selection was good overall for lunch and tea and coffee selection was then expected to be bigger. simply note that no alcohol is served here, but is not needed, as the environment is excellent and the ethos of the caffe supports. eating was great and the selection of meat and vegan food was good. the face of the children on the sight of the child afternoon was one of the excitement, especially when you see the size of the cake. the burgerpatties were thin, but wide, homemade, like all food, cooked in a juicy juicy condition. the nuggets were diceed chicken pieces so quality from the beginning, batter was slightly spiced and cooked for perfection. not greasy or soggy or too much for the meat. best nuggets I've ever had. if they like cake and coffee, this is also the place for them with the sizes of the cake portions they will take a few home, and it is worth it. as they can say, we really enjoyed eating and put in a place that is modern with a classic touch that I felt relaxed and that eating fits the venue."
