"Been here before and food was terrible, dry, overcooked, burnt, cold and not very appetising. A year later we thought we’d give it a chance and see if it had improved. Unfortunately or fortunately we didn’t get to find out. Service is absolutely abysmal. Booked a table online, no problem. When we arrived, went to the bar and asked where our table was. Advised that the waitress puts names on reserved tables and had to find it ourselves. Name not on any table, obviously. Stood around in dining area waiting for service or help but nothing. Chef saw us from kitchen and so did gormless waiter but not one of them came out to ask why we were waiting for a table or not being served. Rude. Actually funny that a table for 6 was reserved in the name of lesa, if that’s a name and reckoned it was for us, even though that’s not close, morons. No surprise, we left and won’t return. How on earth does your business function? The brewery needs to know. All that will happen is the manager will say to contact him etc to discuss it further. Nothing needs to be discussed further, my review stands. I look forward to your generic response"

No mushroom chilli so had to go for Katsu Curry which was nice a little salty but edible. Was very quiet when we were there for a lunch time but OK.

Very noisy with music and tv sports plus a noisy group of customers we couldn't have a conversation as it was so loud but the food was worth the very long wait

Background music would be a great addition to this place as you can often only here the clink of glasses and the sports/news channel.... More publicity and live acts or fun events, regular family quiz nights etc would be beneficial too! Let's liven it up a bit and create a more fun and inviting atmosphere!

Hired their function room and was such a good decision. We was able to arrange buffet food and use their music surround system for a playlist and their tv for a sideshow of photos. They put signs up for us to advise it's a private function so no one came in and we was allowed the room for as long as we wanted for such a reasonable price. Would definitely use again!

Second time in a row been here for food and quite frankly its horrific. Last time had Hunters chicken and it was obvious it was microwave reheated as it was hard and couldnt chew it. This time went for lunch and got Steak Panini and it was not eatable. You couldnt even bite through it let alone chew it. Wont be back and its a shame as only pub in town to eat but needs new owners for me to even contemplate it again. Used to be ok and kids love it but food is so bad go somewhere else.

"I was appalled at the quality of service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, which was about When I arrived I was not asked if I would like a drink, and I wasn't asked throughout the whole meal. The waitress should have seen on the table that we only had tap water, and asked whether we'd like another drink. Then, we ordered our first round of hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minutes for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. At this point in the evening there were three full tables in the whole restaurant so I thought the amount of time we had to wait was poor. Then the food started coming over, but the food didn't come altogether. A couple of dishes came and then a few more and a few more after that. This meant we didn't all eat together, we ate all at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they didn't arrive at the same time. Very disappointing. The third order of hot food was beyond a joke. It was clear that one of the two waitress wasn't feeling very well (I overheard one of the chef's telling her to go home). She was our waitress. So, we ordered the third round of hot food. minutes later we still didn't have our food. In this time the chef was talking to the ill waitress. I then pressed the help button and I explained that we'd ordered some food and had been waiting a rather long time. I then look round at the waitress and chef and it was absolutely clear that the order didn't go through so it was only then that the food was starting to be cooked. The waitress who took the order explained that there's been lots of issues and she was sorry. As a customer paying for a meal, I don't care about the issues, I still expected good service and my food to turn up. Overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not be visiting this restaurant again and I will not be recommending the restaurant to anyone."
