    Pub was cold, windows open above us, service was slow and while the food was nice enough it wasn’t outstanding and arrived like warm, certainly not worth the £80 per head price tag that we ended up paying.

    Six of us went for Sunday lunch and had the family sharing platter. It was amazing! Meat cooked to perfection and lots of gravy with the huge Yorkshire puddings. Also freshly roasted potatoes red cabbage and carrots, both the latter with a tasty twist. The pub itself is over 4 floors and it was fully booked for both the 12 pm sitting and the 3 pm. Despite its size it’s cozy and incredibly friendly. The staff all knew exactly what to do and all were very professional and efficient throughout. The only issue ( and it really wasn’t a problem ) was the constant pressure to buy more drinks. No sooner was a bottle empty, we were being asked if and when we wanted the next one opened. I don’t know if this is normal practice so it definitely wouldn’t stop me returning. All in all a fabulous pre Xmas day out !

    Mixed experience, but overall good . Bread and butter starter quite awful. Bread was more like cake, dry doughy and overcooked / burnt. Scotch egg was excellent, hoisin sauce pairing sublime. Ordered the Barolo wine, served cold (was told it had been in wine fridge !!) Roast and trimmings were excellent. Pork was juicy and fantastic cracking, lamb moist and delicious. Beef was cooked perfectly but the cut of beef lacked flavour (not chefs fault). Donut and panacotta were excellent, the sticky toffee pudding was overcooked (made by the same person who did the bread ?) min r pie ice cream fantastic. Worth a visit but chose carefully

    Brilliant service, our waiter said drinks were on him as the food was 2 mins later than he said it would be. Food was great, overall ambience of the pub was nice, great traditional pub. Would highly recommend.

    We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

    Pros: beautiful, cosy pub with a great pork belly roast, great beer/ cider list. Cons: service was either really lovely or a little bit unfriendly but overall inconsistent, sticky toffee pudding wasn’t great.

    Lovely Sunday lunch with friends and our 9 year old daughter. Everyone had a great time. The service was lovely and the tall chap with the glasses (I didn’t get his name) was a credit to the whole place. The beer was great. The food was outstanding. If I lived 70 miles closer this would definitely be my local. We will return! Thank you all

    Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!
