    We booked a table which was fine but too close to the bar serving area to be be Covid safe! Most of the menu had sold out including all chicken, fish and chips, steak ale pie, steaks etc etc. this was at 2.30 and they were still taking bookings for the same evening. My partner ended up with a SMALL childs portion with a few chips and carrots(peas also off) The sticky toffee pudding was good and generous but too littlr too late! Why couldn’t the staff pop out and buy more food to prepare???

    We were greeted warmly and quickly seated by a frienfly and helpful waitress. The food we ordered was freshly cooked and delicious. This place is tucked away near the canal but worth searching out. We'll go there again.

    Unfortunately, we were turned away for our 13:15 booking. They had allegedly "told" OpenTable that they had a pre-arranged function. I suspect user error on their part. No genuine apology from the restaurant but continued effort to blame OpenTable. After travelling long distance (for Covid permitted reason, I add), this was very frustrating. We were not willing to wait until 15:00 for a possible seat. I asked if they could help with an alternative booking, but they simply pointed at another pub!! Can't rate the food properly, and NEVER put myself in the place that I can try it in the future. I will however continue to tell my Yorkshire friends of our terrible experience.
