We were seated promptly, served impeccably, the food and drinks were excellent. The manager was alert, on top of everything and the server of our table was efficient and extremely polite. We came away really impressed.

Really good choices across the menu, happy smiley service, prompt delivery of food and drinks. The chicken menu is a speciality but other meats are available, the gammon meal was excellent. Didn't have time to linger but will visit again.

To my surprise it was lovely! Hannah, the assistant manager made us extremely welcome and made some good suggestions of what to eat, where to sit etc. the chef advised us on the best choice for what we picked to eat. Steak sandwich but have it lightly toasted) The food was lovely. Hannah was very helpful and it was pretty busy with a real mix of clientele. I felt very welcome. Plenty of space between tables. We weren’t rushed. Hannah also told us about the fabulous Sunday lunch they offer so will be booking in for a meal soon. The menu has a lovely balance d plenty to choose from. Try not to be put off by the slightly dull exterior or the reputation from the late 80’s early 90’s the pub is completely different now. I’m disappointed in myself for not having visited before. Well done. You deserve the 5 stars. Darrian Vickie

Food on the evening was lovely and plenty of it (sausage rolls in particular get a shout out). Management and staff great and work very hard. I would happily book future events here! Thank you

Suggestion ask customers if the music is louder than needed , background is good overwhelming a conversation is most definitely not

I had the rotisserie chicken with chips and coleslaw. Chicken was excellent tasty, perfectly cooked and a good size. Chips were good. Coleslaw was dry but I improved it by adding mayonnaise. Cluckless burger went down well too. Oil and bread dips starter was shared. OK without being outstanding. Bread arrived warm which was good. Friendly service although she did not know what the soup of the day was. Why not? Shouldn't this information be imparted at service? A drink each and total bill including tip was £45. Cards accepted.

She did well, recieving an award and medal so the family celebrated the event at the local Sun pub with an early evening meal and drinks. Arriving at 530pm on a Sunday night the car park was nearly full and the pub very busy. Decked out ready for Christmas the pub had a warm friendly family atmosphere. We ordered drinks and relaxed for 10-15 minutes whilst our table was made ready. The serving staff were attentive, friendly and helpful when we were making our selection of meals as not all dishes on the menu were available. We went for Hunters chicken, Scampi, Pizza, Chicken Roast and a Beef Roast dinner and weren't kept waiting long. When ordering deserts our granddaughter wanted a 99 Ice Cream cone and Grandma had a quiet word with our waitress to see if a candle could be added to the cone to help mark this special occasion. Despite the fact that they were busy it wasn't a problem and the ice cream cone with flake and lit candle was duly served to beeming smiles all round. We had a great evening and need to make a special mention of waitress Charlie and give her a really big thankyou from the whole family for looking after us for the evening, arranging the candle and helping to make lasting memories. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I ordered the herbal curry, some of the kartoffels was cold and some of the kartoffels was hot, so that fun I was also really dissimilar package rice if I knew that it would be package rice, I would not order it. my partner really enjoyed his meal, so it only has to be what I ordered. I'll definitely get this place another time than his so beautiful pub, but I think I'll go for a pub classic next time.

I tried the signature health kick salad, spring vegetable risotto, and beetroot mint coriander burger, all of which were delicious. I was also delighted to see two vegan dessert options, the Cookie Butter Cheesecake and Raspberry and Lemon Cheesecake, both served with vegan ice cream. It was refreshing to have such a variety of choices available. Overall, I had a wonderful lunch and would highly recommend this restaurant.
