Customer Review Summary
The Sunday roast draws the most attention, with several diners praising the Yorkshire pudding and one calling it among the best they've had, alongside a standout banoffee cheesecake and a well-liked pie. The garden and outdoor seating come up repeatedly as a favorite spot for celebrations and casual visits, and the staff are frequently singled out as friendly and welcoming, even handling busy Sunday rushes with a smile. A few note it runs a bit pricey but call it worth it. Against this, a couple of reviewers describe a sharp drop in roast quality on separate visits, citing a soggy, reheated-tasting Yorkshire pudding, bland gravy, and stingy portions with just one carrot and a single pig in blanket, and one describes a long delay collecting sides before mains arrived with pork belly drowned in gravy. Most visits, though, end with reviewers saying they'll return for another celebration meal.

“The food was fantastic! I especially loved the pie. The staff were incredibly attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, handling any busy Sunday hiccups with a smile. It's rare for me to highly praise a Sunday pub lunch, but this place was truly worth it. 🥧😊 #Food #Delivery #Pie #Staff #Menu #Lunch”

“Went for lunch for my birthday. There were 4 of us. Food was good. Staff were all brilliant! Just so friendly and welcoming. Maybe a bit overpriced but hey ho. Tony was particularly friendly and upbeat. Great garden.”

“We had such a lovely time! We sat outside in the beautiful garden area and enjoyed a delicious dinner. The food, atmosphere, and overall experience were wonderful. We’ll definitely be back and look forward to visiting again soon.”

“So disappointed with my roast this afternoon. The Yorkshire pudding with burnt and everything was soggy - as if it had been reheated. The chicken skin was not crispy and the potatoes were soft and had absolutely no crunch. The gravy had absolutely no flavour, was extremely bland and formed a skin very quickly as if it was heavily processed. They were also very stingy with the portion size as the only veg was one carrot and a bit of soggy cabbage underneath the chicken. You only got 1 small pig in blanket and the stuffing was soft and stodgy too. Unfortunately the standards have massively slipped here and I will not be returning for food.”
- Charlie Foster
“We waited 50 minutes for food. And we got our sides quite quickly are them had to wait 30 minutes for them to collect it then 20 to get our mains we waited so long that we wondered if she even wrote down our mains. She also asked ‘did you order sides’ so they didn’t even check that. 50 minutes yes we had 5 people but still. And I ordered pork belly and they put in right inside the gravy soaking it and making it disgusting and putting apple sauce where my skin and Yorkshire pudding is. Apple sauce with that? unexpectable facts are we’ve ordered gee before with 4 people and got our food in 20mins. I’m very disappointed today as we come here often and the service, food and cooking is very fast and good so today we felt very sad. I hope this gets forwarded to the chefs and then higher about the fact kids menu items should have options for apple sauce, PS: lettuce on apple sauce is horrible”
