"Great roast, excellent pigs in blankets. Constructive feedback - I thought there were probably too many chunks of beetroot across all the roasts. Ross, over 30 years' of experience in the consumption of roast dinners, thought it would also be nice to add a splash of mint sauce through the gravy served with the lamb roast to really elevate dish. A good sauce can really bring the meal together. Helen, Cal's mum and mother of 4, thought it would be good to have the option of a pre cut up roast for parents so they can eat with one arm while holding a baby. 5-star roast - will definitely go again. Yours faithfully, Mark Consumer of over 5,000 meals"

"Friendly bar-staff, non-existent management. Tried to book the function room for a wedding reception. Phoned, and was told to email. Emailed and no reply. Visited pub in person and was told manager not available, but would call me to discuss booking. Manager didn't call. Obviously not important where I spend my £££. Custom taken elsewhere.... as should the resident drunk woman who harassed me throughout my attempt to discuss booking with barman at 4pm on a Thursday afternoon!"

"A really nice pub, with a lovely garden. Food was delicious and the waiting time was just right, as I finished my punt. Staff were lovely, and a joy to be around. The prices I believe are fair to area, decor the staff and quality of food. Toilets are clean and.fewah smelling. A really nice family pub."

"I walked past and wanted to review this place as it had some good reviews. The place was not busy at all on the Saturday evening I visited. There were several groups of families and a few couples.. I ordered a beer at the bar and went to a table. I checked the menu was burgers and pizza mainly. The place is big and well decorated. There are plenty of seats inside and out. For the service no one came to see me once I had sat down. I had my support dog and was not offered a bowl of water for her. The staff seemed more interested in talking and chatting amoung themselves them checking all the customers. While I was there a group of people were kicked out who were drunk which was handled well. For all the reviews you are better off at a weathepoons for price and service. I did not order meal and left as I thought the general ambience and vibe was lacking."

"A really really lovely pub. The staff were fantastic and couldn't do enough for us. Although there wasn't a massive selection of food, it was new years eve so that's understandable. The food was very very tasty and filling and the drinks were well made and great. The pub had an 80s band on that was brilliant and very fun. A perfect way to bring in 2022."
