Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast draws the most praise, with diners repeatedly calling it delicious and one calling it the best they'd had in a while, though a couple of visits fell short, with one reviewer describing soggy roast potatoes, runny mash, and a stodgy, uncooked Yorkshire pudding. Close behind, the pizza and burger get frequent mentions as reliably good, and the garlic mushrooms are singled out by one visitor as standout. Staff and hosts are consistently described as friendly and welcoming, with dogs given treats and fuss on at least one visit. A few complaints stand apart from the roast issue: one diner was misled expecting Italian food and found pizza unavailable that night, and another describes a parmo night that was bland with soggy chips, missing dressing, and confusion over a children's chicken nugget order. Prices are called reasonable, with one reviewer detailing two mains, a side, and drinks for a set total.

“Lovely little pub! The owners are so friendly and very welcoming. Me, my fiancé and our dog Bonnie were visiting from Manchester on our quiet staycation away. The food was nice. Plenty of gluten free options available, I had pizza and my fiancé had a burger. They gave Bonnie some treats and fuss! The fish and chips seemed to be very popular so I’d get that next time.”

“Disappointing. Fell far short of reviews. The place was cold. Standard Sunday roast was average at best. The beef was not a roasting joint, tasted and looked like brisket Roast potatoes soggy, mashed potatoes were runny vegetables over cooked The Yorkshire pudding was horrid solid, uncooked and stodgy. Would not return.”

“Disappointed! Went for parmo night and wasn't all made to be. Was very bland and no taste at all. Chips were soggy. No salad dressing. Childrens chicken nuggets were chicken breast but I dont know what the chef cooked them in. Batter was to soft and tasted like it had been in the fish fryer. Childrens burger was still pink inside.... Couldn't complain about the service. Staff were very welcoming & well mannered.”
