    Disappointed. I checked the reviews before dining here and they were good. Everything states homecooked which we love but sadly we were extremely let down. I chose this place as we wanted to take some friends for dinner for a nice relaxed tasty meal. We opted for the Ribs as the Gentleman said they have been in cooking for 8 hours and they were not great at all, in fact flavorless. I opted for Katsu Curry but it was a bowl of onions and peppers with some chicken breast added. Katsu is a breaded chicken but again it wasn't that tasty. The steak our friend chose he didn't even eat and he loves his steak. He said it was very fatty and not enjoyable. The people behind us were swearing and burping so it was exactly the nice couples meal we had planned. The place could do with a massive face lift and invest in some more comfortable furniture. Sadly we would not return.

    Sunday lunch was good. We usually prefer a carvery so we can have a choice of vegetables. The serving we had was ok but not quite what we would have chosen. Very nicely presented and the crumble was delicious. Would certainly go there again.

    Pleasant setting. The table for two was directly in front of the main door. However the gentleman did close it and offered us a seat outside. We sat outside and were forgotten about. We waited an hour for our food. Once it was noticed we hadn’t received our meal the landlord sorted things out for us. He was very apologetic and took steps to address the oversight.

    We had a really lovely time at this Pub for Sunday lunch for Father’s Day. The food was delicious and nicely presented. The staff were friendly especially the owner who even noticed my husband ran out of gravy. Food was fresh and the nut roast was amazing. Biscotti cheesecake was delicious.

    Started with a phone call to see if we wanted to sit watching the Euro football or be round the corner out of the way. Exceptional service. First class service. Very tasty food and at a very reasonable price. We will return.
