"Booked to eat here tonight. Was shown to our table which was in the path of a howling gale each time the door was opened. Asked to be moved which they did. We’d been given a menu on arrival very much reduced from the menus on the website. We eventually were asked for our drinks order only one real ale on draught and when the waitress brought the drinks she asked for our food order. Only then were we told that the very reduced menu was further drastically reduced. At that point we told the waitress that we should have been told when we were given the menus and we decided to leave. Thanks for spoiling our evening. We won’t be back. Shocking. Take your full menu off your website and at least tell customers on booking that there are only pizzas and burgers and one or two other things left to choose from. You’re supposed to be a restaurant, not a soup kitchen!"

Excellent pâtisserie and chocolaterie! My sister specifically requested macarons as her souvenir of choice from France and I wanted to make sure I didn't

We had a table reserved at 6:45 on a Sunday and ordered the Sunday roast dinner, only to be told they had run out half an hour later, leaving several people without a roast dinner.

excellent place great service last night and it was such a great evening. the personal tried to get along and the manager was as helpful as ever. I have to say that the experience was nice eating at the drinks on the spot.

really friendly staff and mostly nice eating. the pate starter part in the festive start was so tiny for the total price. the turkey dinner was very nice and a much better part. desert was again nice a fairer part, but the Christmas pudding seemed a little stingy beautiful atmosphere, will visit again View menu

we had three dogs with us, who really picked up the personal and placed us beautifully in the corner, so we had our own space (really very appreciated.) we all had the pork bell, which was faultlessly beautiful part, bit o’ knistern on the side and a boat of gravy every very tastefully done. customer service was once again the top for a country pub vibe.

Friendly and attentive waiting staff but the food left a lot to be desired. I had the Hunter's chicken schnitzel, the BBQ sauce seemed to be tomato sauce with some spices, the chicken schnitzel was tough and dry and the cheese wasn't melted properly, I suspect they put the cheese on top of the schnitzel after it's cooked and rely on the heat of the schnitzel to melt it as opposed to placing it under a grill. I fail to see how so many people have about the place.

Christmas evening 2021. meal was very grateful. but why have they placed us at the far end of the pub, one of our party was in the wheelchair. they knew how it was said during the booking. our small table was placed in a corner only for 3 instead of 4. the employees were excellent as they worked under much pressure, as the pub was far enough and a special thank you to the person who parked over 2 disabled places without badge. I think we'll go back next year. but the pub is nice with great food. View menu

Have been here on many occasions over the years and had a good experience with both the food and service. Today arrived and got taken to a table behind the toilets which I explained I had not booked two months in advance and traveled twenty three miles to sit there only fifteen minutes after they had opened and only one other table taken. The meals chosen came just warm which was the only thing that was as we had to keep our winter coats on like others around us did. The service was very slow and after two hours for just two courses we left feeling was it worth it. NO

Service was absolutely perfect. The pub was nice and warm without being overly hot. However, don't order the fishcakes dish. It's a badly designed dish. Fishcakes made with fish and potatoes, served with more potatoes. The diced turnips in the fishcakes made them too slack and wet. My fianc s pork belly dish, however, was absolutely spot on. The brandy and apple based sauce was perfect for the slow braised pork. Amazing. Being sat 4ft from the disabled toilet which everyone that side of the pub used, wasn't exactly amazing realky. But that just makes me sound like a Karen!
