“Excellent overnight motorhome stop. Sunday lunch was fantastic and the landlord was happy for us to stay the night. Our van is 6.7m and just made it.”

“This place looks like a perfect location for a nice lunch. We were greeted by a member of staff that had a very unfriendly attitude. Our sandwiches which weren’t cheap and sounded nice on the menu were awful. The bread was hard or stale, the egg mayonnaise was tasteless, the prawn Marie rise sandwich was like shrimps with no sauce. There was zero presentation , the only thing that was tasty were the chips. We returned our food after 1 bite and got a refund. We definitely would not recommend this to anyone .”

“So definitely just not going back until someone else owns it. Shame because the building and location it self has everything you need to be a fantastic pub. Just needs people who care. Other half is into his beers been told not the best selection. The two staff on where lovely. And you can't fault them since there's just one person on bar one runner and most likely one chef. Our food was enough to put others off ordering. But it wasn't as advertised and the bread was on its way out , waited around just to tell someone they may just need to check it no malacie or anything. There's a lot that goes to running a pub and if your that short staffed it is even harder so things could get missed. But like you get fresher beef from tesco across the road out of a packet. And considering you're paying like 11/12 for a sandwich and chips you at least would like your money's worth. Food 1 star just because of the chips. will admit I don't know the rules fully when it comes to having a chane but I really hope they get people in who care and love what they do.”
