Customer Review Summary
Bottomless brunch is the draw reviewers raise most, with one group describing drinks that flowed and another noting glasses refilled at every point. Close behind are the burgers and home made pizzas, called well cooked and tasty by a regular lunch visitor, and a buffet in the private function room that one party polished off. Reviewers also mention a Monday night quiz, pool with sport on TV, and a bar team that sorts out live football for a regular. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, and a large birthday group and a works night out both praised how their bookings were handled. The criticism is specific. One reviewer calls the bar staff undertrained after being left standing around while people who arrived later were served first, and another found the baked beans cold and tasting canned, with no water top ups offered. One visitor who received a parking notice after missing the requirement to register at the bar emailed the manager and heard it was cancelled within minutes.

“We came in a large group for a birthday celebration. The food and drinks were delicious. About half of our group had the bottomless brunch and everyone else ordered from the main menu and bar. Everyone enjoyed their delicious food and the drinks flowed for those of us with the bottomless brunch. Three of us were in wheelchairs and the facilities met our needs very well. The toilet was easily accessible, roomy and clean. I would like to give a special thanks to Mark and Marie for making booking very easy. An extra special thanks to Meg, Libby and Rhianon for making us feel very welcome and working hard to look after us. I and my 14 friends would definitely recommend this venue. Thankyou for making it a brilliant day.”

“Visited recently to spend some quality time pmaying pool with my son. It was a Sunday so pretty busy but the service was great and staff, friendly and helpful. Due to me not noticing the parking requirement to register my vehicle at the bar, i did receive a parking notice but when i called, the managwr was extremely helpful, asking that i email details of the PCN and I had notification that it had been cancelled within minutes. Definitely worth a visit whether you want to eat, play pool or just have a drink and watch some sports on TV. Great service and if you experience othwrwise, i would suggest raising this with stafg and allowing them the opportunity to put things right which i am sure they will. Many thanks and see you again soon.”

“Have had lunch here several times, food is well cooked & very tasty, especially all the different yummy burgers & the home made pizzas, the staff are lovely & friendly. Also booked a private function room for my partners birthday recently, buffet was wonderful too, we polished the lot off & we could have ordered extra food if we wanted no problem! I would definitely recommend this pub to anyone.”
