“Went for a meal here with a party of 5. The place was basically empty. We went to order our food. First problem 2 people wanted steak and there was no steak. So they chose something else. Took ages …”

“Had a great lunch here today with my parents, partner and two dogs. The place was nicely decorated, the staff were friendly and helpful - Shay was on the bar and gave us great customer service. The garden was nice and spacious and good to give the dogs a bit of a walk. We enjoyed the food too!”
- Thomas Martin
“Been going to the weekly quiz for over 2 years and always are greeted with smiles and great service. Food is always tasty, and comes in good time, and prices are standard for a Greene King franchise pub, but they switch up the menu …”

“Came here early on a Saturday evening, it wasn't busy, but staff utterly useless. The online ordering QR code didn't work. Had to order at the bar. Our table (which was reserved) hadn't been set, there were no menus or cutlery, all the staff were AWOL so we took things ourselves from other tables. When our food arrived the portions were quite small and the food wasn't particularly hot. The staff dumped the food and disappeared again, didn't offer any sauces so I had to go back to the bar to ask for those. Nobody came back to check on us to see if everything was okay. I ordered a medium rare steak and it was closer to well done. They never came to clear our plates so we didn't bother to stay for a dessert, they lost money and we won't go back so have lost repeat customers too. The tables around us had dirty plates that hadn't been cleared. The service was probably the worst I've experienced in a pub or restaurant.”

“Very quiet on a weekday, perfect for lunch with family - you can hear yourself think as you tuck in to your food! Dog-friendly pub (which always goes down well with dog owners like myself) with a lovely garden area. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. Clean establishment with a nice and cosy atmosphere. The dog and I will definitely be back!”
