"Heard really good things about this place so thought I would book the carvery. Booking in was fine and they were able to accommodate us. On arrival we were not greeted by any staff at the bar. A lot of local men came in and the manager took to serving them 1st although we had been waiting. We decided to wait by the restaurant where we were ignored by all staff, not one said anything. I went back to the bar and after about 5 minutes a lad spoke to me, I said I had booked. He then checked the diary and took us to the restaurant where he offered us a table and said just go to the carvery when your ready. We went to the carvery and yes good selection of meats and veg. Just as I was getting my meats the manager went to our table (which had been booked for someone else apparently) and want to take me stuff away, I just said to her that we were told to sit there to which not in a very polite voice by who , I said the young lad at the bar. She then sat this family down somewhere else. I ask about drinks and was told I needed to go to the bar to get them, at this point the bar was busy so I left it a while. I only wanted 2 glasses of water but again was no acknowledged at the bar buy the staff. Again another 5 minute wait. Okay so the food, my meats were fine my husbands well his was chewy. Veg, over cooked carrots, undercooked peas, the roasted potatoes was solid in the middle from being cooked and reheated. Payment. Went to pay at the bar as no direction on what to do and I felt like I was be accused of trying to rob them. Got overly questioned about table numbers, tabs etc. Sorry not a great experience."

I have had a lot of diffrent Sunday Lunches in diffrent restaurants this is the best one yet! Great value for the money, lots of choices and homemade food. You help yourself and can even go back for more veg and gravy if you want. Very happy and helpful staff. Will definitely be going back.

We visited for the Sunday carvery with a big group and had a great time. The meat was delicious and the vegetable selection was varied and also very tasty. Lots of the food was gluten free and there were yummy gluten free puddings too. Great way to serve the gravy too so everyone can take as much or as little as they like.

Just back from a lovely Sunday carvery lunch. I had the roast beef and husband had the pork both of which were perfectly cooked. Good choice of vegetables including cauliflower cheese, roast and mashed potatoes. Home made puds were great we had lemon meringue roulade and the apple crumble was drizzled with a lovely salted caramel sauce. Staff were helpful and friendly, compliments to the chef for the delicious food and great value too. We will come again

We popped in for a carvery as we were in the area and the reviews were ok. The pub is a 'local ' boozer and serves mainly locals in the area. In all honesty it 's a bit rough around the edges , which is fine but don 't go expecting a well turned out gastro pub as you 'll be disappointed. It 's a basic local pub that is crying out for a refurb and a lick of paint tbh. The carvery itself was fairly tasty and did the job, but wasn 't anything special. If you 're after a quick bite to eat and you 're not fussy then it 's fine. If you 're after a nice family meal in a nice setting this isn 't the place , not for us anyway. Basic well cooked average pub grub, It 's certainly not a gastro pub.

"Whenever I get the inclination to write a review it’s usually because it’s so good and I want to shout about my experience to everyone… however this is not my usual 5* recommendation! As locals we have visited this cafe on a few occasions for breakfast or a coffee stop. It’s a great location, nice decor, dog friendly and delicious food. What’s not to like? Well, the staff, or more specifically the owner! She lacks any customer service skills, she smiles through gritted teeth, orders her staff around while she stands observing (or waiting for an argument . Each time we’ve visited she’s had an issue with something. Once she argued with me because I asked for my latte to be served in a cup rather than a tall glass. She proceeded to try and educate me on coffee making (I’m barista trained ! She reluctantly gave me it to me in a mug with a jug of extra milk which wouldn’t fit into the mug anyway! More recently we arrived, it was quiet, and chose to sit in the window (the largest table as we had our dog and didn’t want him to be in the way. She rushed over and demanded we sat at another table because she “couldn’t afford for us to take up a larger table”. We moved without an issue but she was very confrontational (as always and made the rest of our dining experience uncomfortable. So uncomfortable in fact that despite being ravenous we almost didn’t order. The cafe remained quiet throughout our time there, plenty of empty tables and yet she proceeded to use the larger window table to accommodate her staff, herself and a friend who popped in. How is that fair? So my advice to you as a fellow catering/ hospitality manager is… Learn from your Trip Advisor feedback, Book yourself on a free customer service course and lead by example and if you are worried about costs reduce the number of staff. 5 staff on duty in a cafe that seats approx 25 people at full capacity is not needed. Maybe the owner should put her feet up at home and let the lovely younger people do their thing. They all look so nervous around her and are almost too afraid to speak. I’m sure they’d do a far better job without her monitoring their every move. Even the Chef (her husband maybe? looks petrified of her!! Certain people are not cut out for customer facing roles and she is one of them! I’m pretty sure she doesn’t read any of these reviews as she’s been like this since my first visit 5 years ago!! What a shame. This place could be a thriving business and a welcoming village cafe but I’m sure her confrontational attitude and unwelcoming nature put people off from returning. Such a shame as the food and coffee are delightful"
