  “We normally like Greene King pubs and after a shaky start this didn't disappoint. It was a Friday night and there seemed to be a lot of drinkers and not diners which is unusual for a Greene King pub. There was or seemed a lack of staff around and we did think about leaving but we preserved and to be fair the service and meal was pretty good. Just needs a few more visable staff and someone who looks in charge. Not bad at all though 👍”

  “We visited for lunch. On arriving at the bar there was a very curt young woman behind the bar. We asked what the process was for dining and she told us to order at the bar. That was it, nothing about where to eat or even a smile and a welcome. So we looked for a table and she shouted, 'no not that side, over here.' Her manners were appalling. So we found a table which had not been cleaned and the seat was filthy too. There was no ambient music, the atmosphere was awful. We spent our £60 for lunch at The Ship at Freckleton where nothing is ever too much trouble and the food and location much nicer. Shame as I used to love The Grapes years ago. We won't be back.”

  “Really disappointing experience from start to finish; having never been before we walked in and to the bar, we stood there for a few minutes before we were aknowledged; me and my daughter were just looking at each other thinking are we invisible. Then we were told we could take a seat anywhere; no menus offered or no guidance on where to sit; I didn’t realise there was an actual restaurant area on the other side of the bar. So we sat down and used the QR code to order; my daughter ordered a £18.50 Caesar salad and I got the garlic mushroom starter; we asked for the salad to be made without anchovies, however when it arrived they’d also made it without bacon-nobody ever came back to us if the food was ok despite the pub being relatively quite (it was Sunday evening), we even sat there for a while after eating and nobody came to clear the plates. My garlic mushroom starter was literally one mushroom cut in half. We were really disappointed in the food and the whole experience, definitely won’t be returning.”

  “I travel a lot and eat out most days. This place is far too expensive for what it is. The food was ok. Nothing special. The service was bad! We had to ask multiple times for simple things like knives, forks, salt, pepper etc... Nearly £200 for dinner for 3 people, main course and dessert, no starters. I would not eat there again, but I may go for a drink when I am in the area next time.”

  “We’ve had a lovely meal and Katie our server was great. She seated us promptly, made sure our orders and food were all ok and sorted our receipt quickly as we had another engagement to be at. Katie had a warm and friendly manner and is a credit to the team!”

  “Just wanted to say a little thank you to the staff for being so accommodating. I didn’t get the ladies name but she was so helpful when we asked if we could get our desserts to takeaway. I don’t think it’s something they usually offer (or have requested very often) but she went the extra mile for us. We were struggling to keep our 17 month old entertained and needed to take her home but we also really wanted a pudding! Our meal was lovely and we really enjoyed our desserts once little one was tucked up in bed. Thanks again!”

  “Simply fantastic. I won't bore you with the usual details. You just have to go. The food is phenomenal. Beautiful pub. Great drinks and friendly staff. What more do you want people? In the photos, no they are not bits of fish even though they are huge, they are in fact the halloumi fries. The other picture was my dessert.”

  “Lovely location, friendly staff. Food & drink can be ordered from table using a QR code. Several menus to choose from eg lunch, Chefs Specials, breakfast and more options. Having navigated through ordering on line’ I was unable to pay using a gift card. Ended up placing order at the bar ! Toilets were exceptionally well maintained, which can’t be said about every pub!”

  “A very nice pub, with decor and furnishings to a very high level but without losing the homely feel, despite being a Greene King chain pub. Quite a few different rooms and nooks and what appear to be quite a few original features give it an intriguing and cosy feel. The food was very nice. I had the toad in the hole and my wife the lunch time scampi. Both reasonable value. Very pleasant friendly service. Nice outdoor for seating for warmer times of year .”
