Despite inconsistent experiences, this local pub offers generous portions, excellent carvery options, and friendly staff. The community atmosphere is praised, along with the value for money. While some visitors have encountered cleanliness issues and closures, the majority enjoy the welcoming environment and tasty meals. The Sunday roasts are highlighted as a particular favorite, alongside the quality of the drinks served. The establishment's efforts to bring the community together through events like coffee mornings are appreciated. Overall, despite some drawbacks, it seems this pub is a popular spot for both locals and visitors alike.

Be here a couple of times just for a drink. Had seen the carvery and thought we would bring my mother in law for mothers day. The carvery was fantastic. 3 choices of meat and a great selection of vegetables. The meat portions were generous and the meal was hot and tasty.The staff were all friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.

Poorly lit but the staff were friendly. I come here occasionally hoping that someone will get a good grip of the kitchen but my steak pie was very short on steak and the pastry topping was not great. On my last visit a couple of years ago, I felt short changed with the chicken tikka that was short on meat. I expect I will try again in a couple of years or so just because it's my local

Went to the Thursday coffee morning for a business meeting. Coffee was excellent and was complemented by homemade cake. Great idea to bring the community together. Lovely atmosphere, thank you

Dated and very quiet beer cost for a small pub is quite steep
