"First visit since the refurb and it is much more inviting and modern. The menu is quite pricey but for an evening out with friends we were more than happy to pay. The evening didn’t get off to a great start due to the service. The waitress didn’t know if they served Malbec and so we asked her if she would mind asking twice she returned having not found out and we don’t actually think she knew what we were on about! She then brought a bottle of wine to the table and when we asked for glasses for the second time she said we would have to wait a while as they are all in the dishwasher! Never heard such a thing and we persuaded her to bring any glasses so that we could at least start a drink. The food was very nice and enjoyed by all. The scotch eggs were particularly good but the chips were quite fluffy being the thrice cooked variety! Overall, service let our experience down. We felt rushed to order, having to ask for more time four or five times over the ordering or drinks, food and desserts. It would be better if one person serves a table and then one wouldn’t feel so hassled by multiple servers coming to the table to ask the same question. Definitely some training needs to happen for the service to match the level of experience the pub is trying to achieve."

Sunday lunch with the family and it was superb. The food was delicious and generous portions, so much so that most of us couldn’t manage a dessert. The staff were brilliant too. Will definitely go again.

If you are looking for a satisfying meal, I would not recommend this place. The portions are disappointingly small and the service is terrible, with a rude young man who handles items as if he were a child. I do not plan on coming back here again.

The decor of the restaurant is beautifully designed with a tasteful touch. The dinner menu offers a combination of pub classics and unique choices. I tried the monkfish fish cake in curry veloute and it was delicious. The desserts menu is also well-done. The new owners should be pleased with the lovely place they have created.

Super refurbished pub. Tasteful decor and nice ambiance.. Food was very nice, however at 11.50 for a starter of scallops, we only got two, but what we had was just delicious. Fish and chips were a good portions and very tasty. Denver steak came out with just Potatoes and no veg, you have to order that separately, again a little pricy. All food was enjoyed, presentation was beautiful and the waiting staff were excellent, friendly and not intrusive. Good selection of beers and wine. Coffee was delicious. Lovely, we will visit again.

We came for lunch today and had some of the best food we have ever eaten. For starters we had the bread and nduja scotch egg which were both so full of flavour. Then for mains we had the fish and chips, monkfish scampi and pie of the day. Every mouthful was absolutely delicious and whilst the portions appeared a little small we were left too full to finish all of the food we had ordered and it was well worth the money! We really hope this restaurant maintains this standard of food and continues to succeed as we will definitely be back again soon!

We'd booked a double room for the weekend. We came on the Friday because we were going to a wedding on the Saturday. When we arrived we were shown to our lovely room which was basic but you don’t need much. There was a clothes steamer which came in very handy! The food was absolutely amazing. We had an evening meal, breakfast and a Sunday roast before we left. Make sure you try the roast, it was stunning. All reasonably priced too, you pay for what you get which is top quality meals. The staff were so welcoming and accommodating, even giving us a lift to the wedding venue in their car! We really thoroughly enjoyed our stay and know exactly where we will be staying when we come back in future...

Very disappointing ! The refurbishment and decor is first class and the young staff very friendly, but very inexperienced. It was freezing cold and we persuaded them to light the fire which was lovely eventually after being smoked out. The food how ever was very disappointing. Butternut Squash lacking in the Rissotto and was a very small portion. The Aunergine and pickled salad with chilli had no dressing or chilli in sight and as for the Fruit Mousse with Lavender shortbread…well, it was thrown in two blobs on plate with one small biscuit that had been broken unevenly by hand and “scattered round plate”. The presentation was dire and it looked like some the cat had thrown up the way it was...

Visited for lunch today and it was lovely to see such an effort made in the decor lovely bar area and dining room with log burner roaring (just what we needed in this weather! and white linen napkins set the standard and expectations. The wine was served in a beautifully thin glass and with both Neck Oil and Landlord on tap I was very happy. The menu looks great not a hint of Brakes Brothers and plenty of ‘on trend’ options (Nduja features twice we ordered fish and chips and the pie of the day (Lamb and Wild Mushroom both of which were excellent. The pie came with perfectly seasoned green beans and a hearty side of mash and Lamb gravy. Interestingly, no salt or pepper on the tables, an exper...
