    We expected it to be extra busy due to being Mother’s Day, however we got put on a table for 4 that was barely big enough for 2!!!! We booked a long time in advance too so really didn’t expect that. The wait between main and deserts was over half an hour and we had to chase a couple of times. Food was lovely as always but these couple of things spoiled it for the parent’s first visit.

    Bit pricey but nice food Disappointed with pudding paid £6.95 for what was meant to be a sundae , had no sundae glasses they said got two scoops of ice cream one strawberry cut into four and a little squirt of cream ? I would’ve rather picked a different pudding but wasn’t asked was just fetched out no apologise just thiers no glasses . bread was dry & hard on my sandwich . Chips were delicious though . Probably wouldn’t go again tbh .

    Having eaten previously here and having had excellent good pub food meals the experience this time was the opposite. Food was good once again but the 'experience ' was not. Having been met on entering, shown to our table and then orders taken for drinks and food we were then left waiting for 45 mins between our main course and dessert, having chosen not to have a starters. Given the wait we had all decided that we no longer wanted to wait further, so went to pay at the bar. No-one around so in the end had to knock on the bar to get any attention! Apologies we're given for the wait at the bar and I suggested that the 35 min wait for dessert was less acceptable to be told that I should have ordered at the bar as there is no table service during the week before 5.00pm! Very strange given our original order was taken at the table and there is no indication anywhere that the expectation is to order at the bar. An adjacent table had also had there dessert order taken at the table, so why not us? It would appear that the management need to be clear about their ordering arrangements and make this clear to customers....either they offer table service or not! Today's experience has soured our view on the overall previous good quality of both the food and service.

    Overall the meals were lovely, although the steak pie was overcooked. It had obviously been made as a large pie and then sliced into portions and reheated when needed. This made the pastry dry and hard, which was a shame as the steak filling was delicious but we wouldn't order it again. The steak was cooked to perfection . The staff were very friendly and helpful
