Customer Review Summary
Sunday lunch draws the most attention, with the pork roast praised repeatedly for flavor and portion size and paired often with the cheesy cauliflower, though several diners found the pork fat heavy or dry and the roasties undercooked on other visits. Close behind, the play area and outdoor space earn steady mentions from families, and dishes like the signature chicken strips, bacon burger, and duck are singled out as standouts on good visits. Service swings widely: many describe staff as friendly and accommodating with quick check backs, while others report a clunky, understaffed feel, forgotten crackling, missing gravy, and slow table clearing that let flies gather mid meal. One longtime visitor notes the once-praised nut roast and squash salad had slipped, served on a hot plate with overcooked veg. One visitor also found the pub smelling of dogs with barking off lead animals outside, making the atmosphere hard to enjoy that day.

“Everyone enjoyed the Sunday roast and fish and chips. Priced fairly and staff were nice and accommodating to the increased number of people. Outside was buzzing with happy vibes as lots of families enjoying the great play area. Only downsides was it took a while for the table to get cleared for the next round of food/drink. A large gathering of flies joined us mid meal, so maybe a few candles/scents might help as a deterrent.”

““We had a fantastic lunch today. The signature chicken strips were hot, crispy, and perfectly seasoned, and the bacon burger was juicy with fresh ingredients and a soft brioche bun. Big thanks to our server, Harry, who was friendly, …”

“We visit fairly regularly on a weekly basis after taking our grandson swimming over at the nearby leisure centre. We're always made very welcome. Lovely staff and great service. Highly recommended.”

“We have eaten here many times before. Used To do a legendary nut roast. This time was poor. Squash salad wasn't great and served on a hot plate. Pork was dry and veg over cooked.”

“We had a nice lunch, and now you are wondering about my starring. It just didn't quite hit all the buttons. Booked for Fathers Day, ordered a drink, starter arrived before it did, had to ask someone to find it, dad asked for crackling with his dinner, it didn't come, had to ask / remind. Had to leave the table to ask for more gravy, it never arrived, had to ask for a spoon for the cauliflower cheese. Ordered a cup of tea with my dessert and had to remind again when desserts were cleared. The food was alright but it all felt a little clunky. Lovely waitress served us just got the impression they were understaffed.”
