  “This used to be an amazing and well respected pub. That has changed since the new management and staff have taken over as the service, standard of food and atmosphere have plummeted. Having recently been in there. I raised a small concern over the appalling state of the Gentlemans toilet. With an overpowering odour and a myriad of flies....in a restaurant with people eating. Following this, I can honestly say there is no point trying to raise any concern ever. The only thing they are apparently interested in here, is the money over the bar. The bar staff, name beginng with 'A' somehow seemed to take it as a personal insult, and inferring I was stupid. Directed my attention to the sealed off "Guest/Private Function" and why couldn't I just go in there? Obviously assuming, I had no manners and I would just happily disturb and barge into a private function. Its such a shame as it was genuinely a beautiful pub before.”

  “We was informed the kitchen had been taken over very recently and the food was shocking!!! we watched them walk through the pub with boxes of frozen food after we’d already ordered, scampi and chips was £20 I had 1 bite and left the whole plate of food it was that bad!!! such a shame because it’s a nice place, highly recommended you don’t eat here”

  “Honestly, we had the loveliest experience this morning. ❤️ I work in supported living, and we brought one of our gentlemen in for lunch as it was his birthday. Unfortunately, due to the heat, our original plans had to be cancelled. He arrived wearing his birthday crown with the biggest smile on his face. To our surprise, the team brought his lunch out with a candle and sang Happy Birthday to him. Such a simple gesture, but it meant the absolute world to us. Seeing how happy and special it made him feel was priceless. 🥹🎂 Thank you for helping make his birthday so memorable and for going that extra mile to put a smile on his face. It was truly appreciated. ❤️”

  “A really great meal at a very reasonable price. Sarah was superb. She took my order and also took the time for some pleasant small talk. My burger was honestly one of the best I have ever had. I will definitely be going back. Great food, great service.”

  “Disgusting. I wouldn't of fed my dog the food. Sausage cooked so much it was hard to the middle. What was supposed to be gammon looked as though it was cooked in juices from a steak and the chicken we think looked like it was boiled. Steer clear. I know they were short staffed but no excuse for serving up food as bad as it was. Thank you for your response. I will not be returning for food not even good enough to feed an animal. It was not edible and does not justify your response. Would you sit and eat that! And give that to your child? Absolutely disgusting Update: the supposedly sizzling chicken fajitas that wasn't sizzling, sizzle more after than anyone would want. Glad I didn't eat more or I don't think it would just be the the toilet bowl receiving them 🤔🤢”

  “Not been here for a considerable time so decided to give it a go...Under new management and food was absolutely splendid. Both had items off the burger menu and they were exceptionally good. Puddings were also generous and delicious. Highly recommended”

  “Came here before and didnt have a great experience.. came again recently and the change is outstanding! The food was delicious, the service was slick. I used the app but the team who bought my food and drinks over were lovely. I spoke with the new manager and told him how fantastic the visit was. I'm looking forward to seeing what more they will do once they're settled!!”

  “I really enjoyed the FRESH FOOD the chicken strips was juicy and fresh and tasty. Nothing was dry the garlic was so tasty on that bread. Really happy with the order I made. Well worth the price and also fresher and tastier than most that’s cost double the price.”

  “The pub is badly in need of a refit. Tables and chairs in the dining area are worn and a bit threadbare,it just looks a bit tired. There is a separate bar area which had a lively atmosphere, people not used to the area may have been a little intimidated. The food was good, we didn't wait long and everything was hot and tasted good. There are some great offers on food here and looking at the various notice boards it was the same case with drinks. Pitchers of cocktails for just £7.99. The staff were friendly enough but one waitress was clearly not sufficient and it was hard for her to keep up. There is a large outside area and a couple of playground items for kids. The pub has a decent sized car park,remember to input your car's reg. I to the screen by the bar or you'll get a parking fine. It wouldn't take much to sort this pub out,shame Greene King haven't taken more care to keep things in order”
