  “I’m genuinely sorry to leave this review, but unfortunately, this was one of the worst meals we’ve had in a while. The kids’ meals were acceptable, but the adults’ meals were very disappointing. I paid an extra £2 for an additional beef patty, only to receive a tiny, completely incinerated piece of meat that looked more suited to the children’s menu. The chips appeared to be the very end of the bag and were mostly made up of small, overly crispy bits. My wife ordered a korma, and aside from the chicken pieces, it was more like a watery soup than a korma. To add insult to injury, we were paying nearly £7 for a pint. Thankfully, the staff were very friendly and helpful, which was probably the biggest positive of the visit. I had a 40% voucher, which certainly lessened the blow of spending my hard-earned money, but I still left another voucher there for future use. Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be in any rush to make the mistake of coming back anytime soon.”

  “Well!! amazing what a few days can make, we went on Sunday for a roast but was not a good visit. Yet today Thursday it was lovely. Food was good, service excellent, waitress and manager very friendly. My dad, said it was the best lemon meringue pie he has ever had! And took one away with him! If we are ever this way again we would visit again.”

  “We went for my son’s birthday as he wanted to have the Clarksons Pie. It was the first time we’ve been for a while. We were met by Scott, who was our waiter, and I can honestly say we will be back. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He was courteous, efficient and polite and the food was good. Thank you Scott for the enjoyable experience.”

  “The adult food we ordered was pretty bog standard. The kids meals that come out was shocking. Chicken dippers burnt and over cooked, inedible. The fish fingers were so over cooked and burnt the fish inside was non existent, looked like something you had left in your air fryer for a week. The beans were dry like they had sat there too long. We had no check back done on our table to ask how our food was. Overall wouldn’t return.”

  “The service was on point, we had Scott and there was a small error in our deserts and he fixed it straight away. It was a very nice meal, the portions were slightly smaller than they have been, but still delicious. The price is reasonable for the food, especially with a taste card”

  “A lovely meal in a cosy atmosphere. Exceptional staff, so friendly and helpful. Laura was so kind to us when we were stranded with my elderly parents and couldn’t get a taxi. We had to wait over 2 hours and she kept checking on us and tried to find other taxi services. Laura really is a great asset to the pub and went above and beyond to help us. Even saying she would have driven us back to our rental cottage in Holt if needed fortunately a taxi tiurned up. Thanks again Laura x”

  “Came here for my birthday dinner and it was awesome beautiful food cooked perfectly and we were not left waiting between courses. We chose this restaurant as we were on holiday and we have been to restaurants of the same chain where we live in Kent so knew it would be excellent and it didn't disappoint, all the staff were wonderful. We also booked a table so we could take our 2 small dogs and it was perfect”

  “Offered 2 choices of seating on arrival with one close to the play area which was very thoughtful. The restaurant looked clean and staff were quick to clean empty, dirty tables. Ordered drinks online and they came very quickly. Ordered food at the bar as we wanted to ask for a change. Food was served promptly - chips on child's meal were missing but supplied as soon as it was established they were part of the meal. Food was reasonably priced and good portions”

  “Well what a hidden gem this place is. We had the ultimate double beef ghost chilli burger, the ultimate veggie burger, scampi and chips and a prawn cocktail, firstly the presentation was delightful, then when we tasted it it blew us away, big thanks to John our host who was informative and polite. A very well laid pub with a garden and seating area, if you are in the area give it it a go. We waited no more than 15 minutes for our food although it wasn't too busy.”
