"We were really looking forward to having our first night out as a couple in a very long time! We were given a dining out card as a Christmas gift and decided we would use the green man as the first time using a vintage inn. Really sorry to say, but this place needs an awful lot of work! It was very very quiet which usually means good service in most places. However, not the case here. As I am currently trying to eat healthy, I’d already decided what I was going to order prior to arrival after checking on the website. However, it was kindly explained to me by the waitress (I think the only time we saw her) that you couldn’t remove a sauce from a meal as no food is prepared fresh, it is pre-portioned first thing in the morning and reheated throughout the day so I cannot remove the sauce from any meal. However, a female manager did then by chance ask if we were okay and she explained that we would be able to have the sauce on the side. However, all of this was irrelevant as when I saw another table the fishcakes the sauce comes on the side anyway, not the best start. The starters were pretty mediocre, just deep fried stuff, but hey it’s not high end prices so you can live with it. Not sure why with no need to cook anything they took so long. This was the first time we saw the cook, a young girl with long dark hair, casually strolling through the restaurant in a uniform that looked like it hadn’t been washed in a week, playing on her phone and running her hands through her hair, I’d bet any amount of money they weren’t washed before back on the microwaves and deep fryers. The waitress did show up for the second and last time to remove the starter plates with a ‘How was it’ comment. This now became more of a comedy night than a meal out. Our hair playing cook then sent out the mains, and if you’ve ever seen that episode of friends where Chandler lives with the crazy guy that dehydrates everything, well I assume he was the 2nd cook. Have a look a the Brocolli served with the fish cakes. It is genuinely funny! We couldn’t complain, there was nobody about anymore. Oh other than when we finished the illusive waitress appeared from nowhere quicker than the flash super hero to clear a nearby table, I then realised it was because they’d been silly enough to leave a tip on the table. Of which she didn’t bother to wipe once she’d banked the cash. The manager lady did come and eventually take our plates, not asking how anything was, so I quickly asked if the broccoli was meant to be like that. She answered no, and did offer to remove my meal from the bill, it’s a shame because if there had been some sort of check back I wouldn’t have left hungry. So we waited for the bill… and waited… the manager lady had disappeared… the waitress (and I use this term tongue in cheek) was busy on her knees taking through the host stand to a regular drinker, as the other manager (make) in a check shirt walked around the bar on his phone when he wasn’t having banter with drinkers. This isn’t a real restaurant, I wouldn’t bother going if you’ve bothered to get to the end of this long review. I’d imagine this review will only get read by people currently in the restaurant waiting for their mains. If that’s you… get ready for disappointment."

Enjoyed a lovely Christmas dinner at The Green Man pub. Every course was perfectly cooked. The service was excellent, staff were very pleasant and we couldn’t fault anything. Would definitely recommend having a meal or Christmas dinner here.

I had a fantastic experience at this charming neighborhood pub. The atmosphere was great, and the staff were incredibly helpful. The food was delicious and there was a nice selection of wines to choose from. I can't wait to visit again soon. Thank you!

Lovely, welcoming staff. The first time we visited and made to feel very welcome. Starters of Baked Brie and Garlic Mushrooms were really good. Mains of fish and chips and vegan penang curry were tasty. We noticed that this place was frequented by many locals, and that's always a good sign! We will definitely be back View menu

The Green Man is a charming and inviting pub with a friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious and the staff are always accommodating. We have been regulars for years and always encounter Sheila during our visits. The landlord, Mike, is fantastic! He fosters a sense of community and is always warm and inviting. Another bonus is that The Green Man is dog-friendly.

Lovely restaurant for our family meal at Christmas. All the staff were extremely polite, courteous. Our waitress (Sheila) was extremely caring and helpful. Sheila greeted us with a warm, nice smile. During the meal Sheila checked to see if everything was ok with our meal, and if we needed any more drinks. Sheila is a credit to this restaurant, 5 star service, such a wonderful person. We love returning to the Green Man restaurant, delicious food, excellent value for money. Highly recommend.
