    Soup over salty. Turned up to my table and they then rang me to say was I coming to eat? Staff good. But the manager should be fired for bad management.

    Sunday lunch, late pm. Food tables quiet. Veg undercooked and tepid. Two insignificant sluces of Beef - v disappointing . Cauliflower cheese side order was good and yorkshire pudding homemade. Service team were pleasant. Won't return for food, but would go for a pint - very disappointing.

    Food was not really hot enough. Meat was quite fatty and no proper crackling on the pork 🙁. Quite expensive for what it was!

    Food was disappointing. The sunday roast was stingy although the Yorkshire pud was great. Staff were aloof for no reason. Not great hospitality and a distinct absence of locals at the bar. Way better when it was a Geronimo pub.
