"Really enjoyed the dirty burger and fries with the dripping sauce! Staff are nice and service was good. Didn't have a great experience last time with an I.D. situation for my daughter and her partner who's birthday it was and 25, had no I'd on her other than a picture of their passports and driving licence on their phone. Which was refused!, so we left, very unhappily. But we have been back and enjoyed it again. Just a shame that night was ruined. However, we will go back. Just make sure if you are lucky enough to not look 30! Have I.D. the service last night was much better. The food is generally very nice. Just don't have the Rumbaba dessert and is is just sponge cake an certainly not what you expect when you have the real thing in Italian restaurants."

Went here for dinner on a friday night. Good tasting classic british cookery. I had pork with scallops and black pudding awesome combo! View menu

Slow service but food was ok. I think the fact it was New Years Day meant it was not up to usual standard. Quantity over quality. Starter of duck pate and desert of creme broullet were good but let down by main of roast beef.

Service was excellent, staff friendly, attentive and helpful. Food came quickly and was hot but the quality and presentation was a little average. Not somewhere we’d choose for a special occasion based on this visit but certainly adequate for a quick mid week bite to eat. View menu

Service was very slow.... complained about the burnt chips and was brought some more equally as burnt..... the crispy crackling on the pork wasn’t crispy and also the waiting staff have no idea about etiquette as using our table to serve someone else’s table isn’t really something you’d expect.... overall disappointed

"Disappointing. This pub used to be really good but our visit yesterday was not very good. Our party of 11 had a lot of niggles that added up to a very average/poor experience, mainly due to slow service slow but also meal quality was not as good compared to their usual standard. Pate starters were bland and tasteless this time, nowhere as good as I 've had before. The Christmas Dinner costs over £20 now and several of us found the turkey to be very dry. Comically we each had two cranberries dotted on the plate side, and a single sprout cut in half. There were other veggies of course, but my own green veg portion was cold. The portion size was fine and plenty of gravy but sadly cold plates meant a luke warm (definitely not piping hot) meal. Service was slow, and one person did not get their fish meal until other people had eaten half their main courses. I wanted to say something to the waitress but they did not check us...I later learned she checked a couple at the far end of the table but not everyone. They were understaffed and we had to order extra drinks at the bar ourselves, when usually we were frequently checked by staff if extra drinks are needed. The slowest service was for puddings, they took nearly 25 minutes and arrived well after the hot drinks that were supposed to come together. A staff member later said it says hot drink and pudding on the menu, does not say they come together . I thought he was joking but he clearly seemed unbothered by the delay. Minor things were niggling too, the waitress adamantly would not bring condiments until after all the meals were served. I had nearly finished my turkey when the cranberry sauce arrived. The puddings were the best part, the waffle mini pudding excellent. But my friend ordered the trifle and it was actually more like a chocolate mousse. We later were told only one member of staff made puddings hence the long delay. The total bill was £380 for 11 of us. Quite expensive given most of us had only two courses and drinks. In summary...used to be a good pub but standards have slipped."
