Customer Review Summary
The roast dinner carvery draws the most praise, with reviewers repeatedly citing tender meats, crisp roast potatoes and rich gravy alongside a generous vegetable selection. Several mention puddings such as apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding, though one reviewer found the latter bland, oily and closer to a golden syrup sponge. Attentive table service comes up often, staff keeping drinks topped up and checking in throughout the meal, and diners note the kids eat for £1 offer and being helped to carry plates while dining solo with a toddler. A recurring complaint concerns meat portions and quality: one diner describes thin, dry slices of pork and ham left uncovered at the carving station and no crackling available on a weekday visit, while another found the carvery lukewarm despite arriving at half past noon. One reviewer calls the décor dated. A separate account describes a supervisor interrupting a till transaction to refill change without acknowledgement or apology. Even so, most describe returning often, pointing to long-serving staff who keep the selection topped up and dogs welcomed in the bar.

“Popped in for the kids eat for £1 offer and was lucky enough to be served by Carrie-Anne. She couldn’t have been more accommodating, helping me fetch food from the carvery as I was alone with my 18 month old and served us with such a smile and positive energy. It was my first visit to this branch and I will definitely be back. Thanks so much Carrie-Anne.”
