Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the food from Bap Boy, the new menu under the pub's new management, with loaded fries, nachos and sandwiches singled out as first class. One diner says the Squad Goals sharing platter was more than enough for four and worth the drive from Wakefield. Close behind, cheese burgers with salad and chips were very good, while another table split the pie and fish and chips and found the food lovely. A motorhome visitor who was allowed to stay the night praises the roast and a quiet sleep in a wooded area. Reviewers also mention the beer and wine selection, plenty of free seating inside and out, and a Christmas Day with entertainment. The one sharp complaint comes from a reviewer who says that on every visit food was not being served despite the advertised serving hours, calling it frustrating and a waste of time, and says they will not call in again. Another diner who found an earlier visit not great came back and was glad, describing staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.
