A few of the starters were unavailable, so I opted for the chicken terrien, unfortunately it was tasteless, i think someone in the kitchen was warming the lightly toasted bread between there hands as it clearly hadn't seen a toaster, but the chutney was nice. We ordered a steak and kidney pie and a lasagne, when the first meal was delivered we were advised that the steak and kidney pie was going to be beef, when the pie was brought out of the kitchen the waitress told it was actually beef and mushroom, not what was ordered, but a nice substitute, what we actually got was a bowl of slop with a chunk of mince meat in the middle, one slice of mushroom and a puff pastry top, I suppose you can loosely call that a pie. As the lasagne was plonked down in front of us, we were told that they had run out of garlic bread, we was offered some chips as a substitute, the chips never arrived, we then didn't see a waitress for about 30 minutes, I guess they knew how bad the food was and didn't want to face us. I did mention the chips, the waitress did apologise and offered to get some cooked, I didn't really fancy them half hour after my dinner. I don't know why we thought the deserts would be any good, but they couldn't be any worse, the brownie looked as though it was a bit stodgy and had gone very hard but the apple crumble was good and the ice cream was perfect!!

A truly classic pub which has so much history, we even feature in the Dickens novel "Great expectations". This pub is a true gem - on a sunny day, enjoy the outside area near the sea; in winter, settle down by our real fireplace in the warm and cosy pub. Enjoy a drink in the "Drifters Bar" upstairs or a delicious meal in our downstairs restaurant area.

Went on a Thursday for food tasted great and was served quickly. I had the gammon which was very filling. The two young girls working that day was lovely and very helpful. The location was hidden and a interesting. Enjoyed the history of the building. Will return

We will never go back!! A few of the starters were unavailable, so I opted for the chicken terrien, unfortunately it was tasteless, i think someone in the kitchen was warming the lightly toasted bread between there hands as it clearly hadn't seen a toaster, but the chutney was nice. We ordered a steak and kidney pie and a lasagne, when the first meal was delivered we were advised that the steak and kidney pie was going to be beef, when the pie was brought out of the kitchen the waitress told it was actually beef and mushroom, not what was ordered, but a nice substitute, what we actually got was a bowl of slop with a chunk of mince meat in the middle, one slice of mushroom and a puff pastry top, I suppose you can loosely call that a pie. As the lasagne was plonked down in front of us, we were told that they had run out of garlic bread, we was offered some chips as a substitute, the chips never arrived, we then didn't see a waitress for about 30 minutes, I guess they knew how bad the food was and didn't want to face us. I did mention the chips, the waitress did apologise and offered to get some cooked, I didn't really fancy them half hour after my dinner. I don't know why we thought the deserts would be any good, but they couldn't be any worse, the brownie looked as though it was a bit stodgy and had gone very hard but the apple crumble was good and the ice cream was perfect!! A birthday meal out to forget!!
