   Friendly staff. I will give you some facts and leave you to make your mind up. Had to return wine glasses as dirty. Had to ask for wine cooler. Offered to take drinks order, no wine list, just offered two white wines with no price known. We're advised food wait was 30 minutes - good idea. When came to take food order were told that no main meal specials were available - fortunately we had back up choice. A while later we were asked if it was OK to bring out starter (one for sharing) could come out with main meals. We accepted. Meals - gammon, eggs, chips etc - good plate of food, well cooked and tasty. Steak and ale pie, made and peas - pie good, peas v small portion, mash only hot in part nearest centre of plate (obviously microwaved) Fish, chips and peas - chips and peas fine. Fish should have never left the kitchen - totally overcooked. Very brown batter, limited fish when you could extract it from batter and consequently dry - price was deducted from bill. Will continue to use as a pub but not to eat.

   The staff, two young ladies, were extremely busy but still took time to make sure everyone was happy. The food was delicious and hot. We will definitely be returning soon.

   Was very disappointed with the food My steak ale pie with mash was tasty but poorly presented on the plate. The mash looked like it had been microwaved and tipped straight onto the plate, you could see the carton shape. The other meal was in a very small fish dish and wasn't big enough for the actual meal and was difficult to cut. (loaded fries).

   Had the Sunday roasts. Really good food and decent portions. Brought extra gravy at the start so didn’t have to ask. Will definitely be back

   Food not as good as usual. Waitress was in kitchen , laughing, joking and singing to the top of her voice along with kitchen staff. The problem was that we were sat beside the kitchen dividing wall ( fully open from head height) so you could hear everything and at time couldn’t hear what we were saying to each other. My friend had to go around into the kitchen to ask for pudding menus and then got them herself. We did tell the waitress we could hear everything and to her spirit! However the noise and loud laughter still continued. Never had that here before . Just wondering if management were away for the evening!

    Food great, large portions, and served in very good time scale. Staff extremely polite and efficient despite being extremely busy. Love going here.
