"We visited the pub this evening after reading good reviews. My husband, our 16-month-old baby, and I were celebrating the purchase of my new car. Our reservations were at 7:30pm, but we arrived at 7:10pm. We ordered our drinks at the bar and carried them to our table. There were only us and another table of 6 adults and 2 kids in the whole dining area. We were seated but were told after 20 minutes that there was a delay. They did not even take our orders. I then walked to the bar to order food for my little one. Just before 8pm, still no one had taken our orders, so my husband went to the bar to order our food and check on our little boy's food. At 8:20pm, after an hour and 10 minutes, our starters arrived along with our little boy's food. We asked how long our mains would take and were told another 20 minutes. We were so hungry that we finished our starters quickly. The starters were acceptable but nothing special. Our mains arrived at 9pm, double the time they had promised. I ordered the seafood platter, and my husband ordered the Rump Steak. Both dishes were disappointing. The Rump Steak looked dried and burnt, while the seafood platter looked like frozen items fried up and put on the plate. We had lost all our appetite, we were past our little boy's bedtime, and we asked for boxes to take away our food so it wouldn't go to waste. My husband complained to the owner, who did not offer a reasonable discount for the horrible experience and food we had. He kept saying they were short-staffed and had won awards for the best pub food. I believe that may have been true 20 years ago or in their dreams. The owner kept insisting that their food was fresh and the steak was straight off the grill, but it was clearly overcooked. The only discount we received was one drink. We ended up paying a bill of almost 60£ for food that our dog would eat. The place had leaks, and the toilets were in poor condition. Overall, it was a bad experience, and I would advise staying away from this awful place."

I had a surprising experience at this restaurant, where they treat vegetarians just as well as meat eaters. It was a real treat to find a place that values all types of eaters.

This restaurant is terrible. It is only open sporadically, and is often closed. It is also very cold in the winter, and the management is incredibly rude. It is a shame that they do not care about their establishment and should consider giving it to someone who will take better care of it. View menu

The staff at this restaurant are very friendly. We had a fantastic lunch in the garden, which is filled with entertaining toys to keep children happy. They also host live bands and body shop parties. Our food was fresh and served quickly. If you are passing by, definitely stop in - you won't be disappointed.

Visited The Golden Dog Shipdham as advertised Dinner with dancing. Three course meal for twenty pounds, had to order what we required a few days before. Food was well presented and a lot of it, the only time we have been for a meal and could not eat it all but was allowed to take the cheese and biscuits home.

My family and I attended a wedding at this restaurant over the weekend. The food was excellent, the staff were extremely helpful, and every effort was made to ensure that everyone, from children to grandparents, had a fantastic time. Even the pickiest eaters were impressed by the high quality of the food. The bar had a great selection of drinks, including my favorite, Rhubarb and ginger gin. I was very satisfied and will definitely be visiting again. View menu

I visited this pub for the first time last night and was extremely impressed. As you walk through the door, you are greeted by a cozy, local pub atmosphere where you can relax with a pint or two. To the right, there is a beautifully decorated sitting area with a bar, featuring fresh lime green accents. It's a comfortable space to wait for your meal to be served. Beyond this area, there is a room with a pool table and a lovely winter garden, decorated in light green and shabby chic style. The pub offers a great selection of drinks, including spirits, wine, and ales. The food was delicious, with generous portion sizes served hot. Overall, I was very impressed and would highly recommend this pu...

I phoned through to make a booking a week in hand as heard the restaurant can get busy. We met up with friends of ours in the bar and at first when i walked in i thought i booked the wrong pub as it was a small local pub with a few friendly locals and no restaurant i could see. After speaking with the bartender and said i had a table booked they told me they had no recollection of my booking...all 4 of us feeling a little bit disillusioned and disappointed because we were all hungry. The bartender went off to check with the manager and came back with an appologie and realized they made a mistake. We were then asked if we wanted to take a seat in there restaurant and from that point on our fi...
