Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the staff, especially a manager and servers who found a table for a party of six on a busy evening, checked that everything was fine, and kept drinks and orders straight at the bar. Several describe food arriving quickly, sometimes sooner than quoted, and tables cleared fast to make room for desserts. One large family group with several children praised the organised, friendly handling of their arrangements and meals that arrived hot. The gammon grill is called delicious and good quality, and diners mention birthdays and a Christmas in July celebration that felt relaxed and fun. One reviewer notes booking in advance because the pub gets popular with locals. The main complaint comes from one reviewer who calls service very slow through the app and at the bar across multiple visits, ending with a food order that never arrived, a staff member who did not acknowledge them at the bar, and an eventual refund. Another found the tater tots had run out, which disappointed a granddaughter until dessert made up for it.

“We came in last minute needing a table for 6 and Clare went out of her way to find us a table on a fairly busy evening. She was extremely helpful, polite and cheerful. Ery helpful at making sure we ordered everything correctly too. An absolute pleasure to deal with. We also spoke to Josh getting drinks at the bar and he was really friendly too. Food tastes great and came out fairly quickly. Tables were cleared quickly making sure we had space for deserts to be placed.”

“Came in today as a last minute idea with my partner and children and from the minute we walked in the service we received was amazing the staff were very welcoming Clare especially was the one who served us and she was friendly and brilliant! The food was amazing we were told 40 minutes for our food which we were happy with as they were busy but then it arrived after 25 minutes! Thanks so much we will continue to come here .”
