   Arrived to be welcomed by a happy smiling person who quickly explained the different menues and joined in with the general up ness of the evening Service was excelent well timed staff were attentive but not intrusive Food was hot well presented and lots of flavour table of 4 had calamari and chicken strip starter ( go for the Chicken recommended by server ) Then surprise surprise the Meat and Ale pie was a formed pie not a dish with a flaky pastry top The pie was full of flavour and the gravy was a star Lastly temted by the dognut and icecream again based on servers recomendation finish the meal perfectly

   Enjoyed a delicious Sunday dinner as part of the after 5pm deal. Food was plentiful, tasty and piping hot. Service was attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Great value, we’ll definitely be back.

   We both ordered the gammon steak and it was delicious, very well cooked and we enjoyed every bite. I ordered the cherry sundae and my wife ordered the sticky toffee pudding both were delicious. Well recommended.

   Always enjoyed the food, but the change of management but retained men seems to have led to even better quality and taste of dishes. Table service a definite improvement. The wine I wanted wasn't available, but I was offered an alternative with a good discount. I very much appreciate this gesture. The wine wasn't quite as good but it was ok. We had a shared southern fried chicken starter and a mixed grill each. The steak was cooked beautifully, and the sausage was delicious.

    The food was a big disappointment. The prawn starter was very bland, just a couple of bitter baby gem leaves and some prawns in sauce on a plate I had expected maybe some cucumber or something. Flavourless meat. I neither Hubby or I could eat the chips and peas as they were quite hard. I did tell the waitress that we were disappointed in what was meant to be a birthday meal and just got a “sorry about that”. She could clearly see we’d hardly touched our food. Below average pub food rather than a restaurant experience I’m afraid. We were hungry but didn’t want to risk having to pay for a below average pudding too.
