"Food: I ordered a beef main course from the specials board which was well cooked and served with a delicious gravy. This was priced at £18.95 which I thought was expensive considering it is basic home cooked food. My friend ordered a chicken curry which looked and tasted very bland. Definetely a bad choice. Drinks: Tried two different white wines, both tasted nasty and extremely cheap. Couldn't finish this glass so I ordered a glass of red which was better but not cheap at around £9 a glass. My friend ordered a glass of rose wine from the menu. When it arrived it tasted like a very cheap zinfandel, which they also sell. Waitress insited it wasn't zinfandel but it clearly was ; Wine prices way too high for the quality being served. Décor: Very old fashioned, tired and depressing. I would suggest it needed a refit 20+ years ago. Chairs were also very uncomfortable and lighting harsh and uninviting. I wouldn't return for this reason alone. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 3 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1"

Found this place on a google search when looking for best roast dinners. Off the beaten track a has higher rating than more expensive establishments in the area So glad we tried it. Lovely pub with a roaring fire. The food very friendly service more than lived up to the reviews. Best Sunday roast we've had for years. We will definitely be back.

The setting for this pub is one from a novel, in a lovely village high in the hills with outstanding panoramic views of the coast. The pub itself has a very traditional feel with open fire place and country style quaint and nostalgic feel. Straightforward options on draft no faff. Everthing on the menu is spot on. There is gluten free options available you just need to ask when ordering. Wheel chair access seems to be restrictive due to the old style of the building. Staff and management do their at most to make you feel welcome. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Roast Beef Dinner, Pudding

"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"
