  “Terrible place, I strongly recommend going elsewhere. Two of us went for food. We entered and the place was completely empty. Despite this we were seated at a 2-person square table tucked in a corner, sat at 90 degrees to each other. Due to the design of the table this meant one of us couldn't even put our legs under. So, we had to ask to sit at another table. One of us ordered scampi and chips. The other ordered a steak, and asked for it to come garlic butter. When the food arrived only then were we told there is no garlic butter. With no suitable alternative this meant the meal was dry. It wouldn't have been chosen had we known the kitchen didn't even have garlic and butter. The waitress clearly didn't care. The scampi and chips arrived with sachets of sauce buried under the food, the batter on which was drowning in grease, so, so were the sachets. Due to our timetable we persevered and ate what we could, a dry steak and scampi with the batter removed. It was just the two of us in an otherwise empty room without even any music playing. The waitress went through the motions of asking if the meal was OK. When I said "not really", she just walked away. An awful place, one of the worst I've been to in my 50 years.”

  “We ate here a few weeks ago on a short break. We both had starters and 'light' main course of chicken and fish which were really good (plus beer). There was only one young girl dealing with about 25-30 diners but she did an amazing job of keeping everything moving; welcoming and seating new arrivals, taking orders, bringing food and drinks, clearing tables and taking payments! Whatever they're paying her, it's not enough. She's an absolute star!!!”

  “This place is SO YUMMY! The landlord was so friendly and helpful about accommodating my wheelchair. The front door isn't wheelchair accessible so she offered to open a larger side door. However, the inside was far too narrow for a chair and the bathroom was completely inaccessible in a chair so I opted to walk with assistance on the 1st visit. Then the food was so delicious we just did take away from there the rest of the week 😋 HIGHLY RECOMMEND 😋”

  “The service was great. We ordered fresh seafood combo. Salmon was missing, scampi was missing, when it came it looked great. The batter on the fish was thicker than the fish. If the bater wasn't as thick, maybe a light batter, I don't think I would be as disappointed 😞. Even the things that were advertised. But miss.”

  “Awful, service was shocking..... The steak was reheated, cold sauces, frozen chips the peas cold.... The garlic bread was rotten and cold. The fresh king prawns were red hot!!!! Just awful! Went from the reviews but never ever again would visit. Really bad is all we can say”

  “The main area for food is upstairs via the left door as you look at the pub from the external seating area. Food was reasonable priced and average. The steak pie was more beef chunks in gravy served in a pot with a pasty top. I had to order additional chips to try and soak up the gravy but still ended up with a plate of gravy. Vegetarian options are limited. The vegetarian Pendang curry that was available was I assume not cooked by a vegetarian as it was quite poor, I won't use the phrase my friend used to actually describe it. Carpets could do with replacing they have seen many years of use.”
