"Kind staff, good food. Only negative is that the beer selection is not my favourite."

"Good food for a lunchtime bar menu. All four of us had burgers and they were tasty and filling. Staff very friendly and helpful."

"First time eating here as an unplanned treat on our way home. 1 of the adults meal of homemade pie and mash was very tasty and child's meal of steak and mash also was fantastic. However the other child's meal which was burger and chips and adults meal of short rib beef with mash was not great at all. The burger was overcooked on the outside, pink inside and gristly so our 4 year old struggled to eat it. It also came in a hard toasted ciabatta style bread not a roll as expected with a burger so he was unable to bite it in one whole piece due to the size. (Not described this way in the menu or we would not have ordered) Also chocolate sundae had dark chocolate nibs and drops not buttons as described so was bitter and had a dry powdery aftertaste which unfortunately again was not what was described on the menu. The adult meal of shortrib was tender however the garlic mash and red wine jus was too salty store than half the meal was left. Someone came to ask as soon as food arrived however we hand not started to eat it yet as one adult and child in toilet. By time they next came 2 of us were done and it was some half hour later we were asked again then if everything was OK to which we advised the person of the above. The lady apologised but no offer was made to replace the meals or alternative offered. Unfortunately catching someone's attention was difficult during the meal as there were 2 people serving/taking orders. If we had been able to get someone's attention we would have said something sooner. A very hit and miss evening with it being 50/50 excellent and very poor. A shame as we do not often eat out as a family due to costs rising and at just over £70 for 2 adult mains, 2 kids meals, a kids desert and 4 soft drinks, it made an impromtu weekday meal disappointing to say the least after hearing mostly good reviews."

"Excellent food, great service. Never had such a scrummy burger and chips. Lovely evening. X"

"We had a lovely Christmas dinner here on Christmas Day. Staff were happy and friendly, which was great. The only thing is we didn't get our glass of mulled wine which was part of our Christmas Dinner package."
