Customer Review Summary
Food draws the most praise, with Sunday dinner the standout. Reviewers describe lovely meals, a huge portion and welcoming, friendly staff, and several call it great value for a family meal. Close behind, the pub is described as a proper local, packed and bouncing over a weekend of clubland night and karaoke, with cheap drinks, friendly people and Sky Sports and TNT on screen. The complaints are specific. One group collecting three takeaway Sunday lunches from the carvery was served cauliflower cheese and garden peas they did not like, with no menu showing what was available and no way to choose their own food. Another visitor says an online post described the pub as dog friendly, yet on walking in with a small, well trained dog they were ordered out in a manner they called verging on aggressive. When they raised the listing, the staff member told them to leave immediately and walked off into the back.
