    No heating in the eating area, we were sat by a radiator which the bar lady turned on but in 3 hours did not heat up at all. The food was mediocre at best with the fish fried to a deep mahogany colour and chips just chunks of fried potatoes, linguine was ok but nothing special, the liver was good but there was not a vegetable on the plate except for mash. We enjoyed past visits but this was really not a good reflection.

    The usual top notch Sunday roast, never fails to satisfy. Throw in fab service from the friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere & it all makes for a fab place to be.

    We have eaten there multiple times and this time it was busier than normal. So the service was not quite up to the normal standard and it seemed that some of the staff we new to the pub. Drinks were forgotten and the food took longer than normal to arrive. We were not shown to our reserved table as it was not reserved, we were just told to sit anywhere there is a space for four. Not much point in booking a table or a time if they aren’t going to reserve a table. May just as well turn up. But on the brighter side the food was again excellent and the staff are always friendly and a great atmosphere in there it really is a nice place to be. Would i recommend it, absolutely, maybe just my previous visits have been so good this was slightly up up to their usual standards. Plus there was no steak. It was only 7:30pm booking. So again disappointing as that was my choice of meal. The landlady is always very pleasant, so thanks to her again for a good evening!!

    This was a really friendly and well run smart pub. The menu was varied and interesting - especially the daily options on the soup and pies, and the food excellent. There were not many other diners in on the evening we went but this did not detract from the welcome feel and ambience.
