Ordered starters which were fine but we were literally still chewing the prawn cocktails and our main courses were bought out, then they gave out the wrong meat and the chef started arguing with the waitresses that is was beef and it was most definitely lamb. Lack of vegetables, ordered 4 roast dinners and only enough for 2 came out. The worst roast potatoes I’ve ever had, anywhere! Huge, hard and black as coal they were disgusting.... I can’t stress how awful they were. Beef was tough and extremely hard to cut, no flavour to the dinner overall. Felt very rushed, food and service very poor. Over the top blonde manager/ hostess made it very uncomfortable for us to relax. It’s sad really to see such a good pub go downhill in this way.

Visited about 4 times in last few months. Always very accommodating and good excellent. Reasonably priced too. read more Visited about 4 times in last few months. Always very accommodating and good excellent. Reasonably priced too.

Staff are very friendly, they were busy, the lady that took our order explained there may be a wait for our food, but to be fair, it wasn't long to wait at all as we were catching up chatting with family. We all had a different dish and they were all absolutely lovely. Will definitely visit again.
