"Disappointing that this pub has fallen so far in terms of general standards; I used to enjoy coming here. The food: The food was below average and when I asked if the burgers on the menu were homemade, the staff member didn't know. We opted for pizzas given how good they used to be from the authentic pizza oven on site, but the food was barely warm and lacking flavour. The ice cream sundae for dessert consisted of two very small scoops of ice cream and a small bit of cream that had been whipped to the point of becoming butter. When a jug of water arrived at the table for us, it had a couple of silverfish in it. The service: The service was pleasant enough on the whole in terms of attitude, but there was no actual service itself. I was told after our food had arrived that I could fetch my own cutlery from a table at the other end of the pub which had cutlery boxes on it; if a customer has to go and get their own cutlery, it would be useful to know this before the food arrives. Both food courses were painfully slow to arrive despite the pub being practically empty. Once i had been presented with our bill, i was completely ignored. I eventually went to find a member of staff so that I could pay, and there were several staff just chatting away amongst themselves. When I explained that I wanted to pay, no one seemed particularly bothered. At no point during our visit did we really feel we were being served and looked after as you would have expected. The pub was the quietest I have seen it could have been the time of year, could just be a sign of the poor standards there. Usually I would have a conversation with the venue about my negative experience before leaving a public review, but in response to other poor reviews, the management have claimed to have addressed some of the same issues that we then experienced, which suggests nothing more than lip service and that they just don't care and haven't fixed anything. It is glaringly obvious for all the wrong reasons that this pub recently changed hands/management and they have a lot of work to do."

Had a fabulous Stay at the Curious pig before our flight to Barbados. Enjoyed drinks by the fire in the bar and had a lush meal in the pub. Jamie was delightful and all staff very accomodating. Would highly recommend. Thanks for the bubbles in the room View menu

We held a wake at this venue as it’s only a short drive from the crematorium. We had half the bar area for the guests. The food was excellent and a variety of foods, they catered for 30 and there was plenty left. Great parking and friendly and helpful staff. They have only done this a couple of times but highly recommended

We arrived on time at 1.00 pm for Sunday lunch to be told there were not enough roast potatoes so we would have to have new potatoes! Then after our shared starter we then waited until 2.45 pm for our main course which included one grape sized stuffing and an inedible Yorkshire which was enormous, the rest of the food was very basic pre sliced meats. Having ordered a bottle of French Sauvignion at £25 we were told they didn’t have that but had a New Zealand one but didn’t mention it was £37. Then to top it all we were charged £14.75 for a glass of red wine. Not at all impressed and will never return. View menu

Booked a table in the restaurant for 6pm on a Saturday evening, loads of empty tables. I gave my name to the waitress who said we could sit anywhere that was not reserved in the bar side. I explained we has a table in the restaurant and she just looked at me blankly and said we could sit anywhere in the bar side. She then gave us 2 menus and went through a list of about 10 dishes that they had run out of and added they have no ales available on tap. She then turned and walked off. We went into the bar side and there were a couple of reserved tables, the rest had plates and empty glasses on. So we left.

I visited the pub with my family and we were 8 in all. The food was good as was the service. However 4 of us had a Sunday Lunch and each of us 4 asked if we could have some extra Gravy as we felt there wasn’t enough on the meal. Imagine our surprise when the bill came to find we were charged £3.75 for the extra gravy. This is the first time we have ever been charged for extra gravy, which when needed has always been given with never any charge. We were never advised there would be such a charge and only noticed it on the bill. It left us saddened, as we enjoyed the meal including Desserts, for which we paid nearly £200. Not good customer relationship.
