  “Visited today for the 3-course lunch option. The starter was nice, although it arrived with dressing and sauce despite specifically asking for none. For mains, I had the fish & chips and my partner had the gammon. Unfortunately both dishes were very basic — the fish in particular was dry and lacked any real flavour. The main disappointment though was the service. We were never asked how our meal was or whether everything was okay, and after finishing our mains we waited quite a while for the plates to be cleared. In the end, we had to go to the bar ourselves to ask for the plates to be taken away and for our desserts to be brought over. The overall impression was that the staff member serving us didn’t really want to be there — that may not have been the case, but it was certainly the vibe we got. What made it more disappointing was that the restaurant wasn’t busy at all, so the lack of attentiveness stood out even more. We’ve eaten here previously and it was spot on, which makes today’s experience even more disappointing. Sadly, based on this visit, we’re unlikely to return.”

  “We didn't eat, we were on a long journey home from up North and needed a drink. Staff are fabulous here and the prices are great. BUT, noone told us we had to put our car registration into a signing in system and I have just received a massive fine. Maybe out of towners could be informed of this. We have sent an appeal with the receipt proving we were in the pub but now I have to wait and see. Gutted”

  “Had a lovely meal here tonight. Great service, staff were all very friendly especially the male waiter and a waitress called Alicia. Had a Sunday roast with beef, it was really good and my daughter had a burger which was also good. Pub was really clean and we will definitely visit again.”

  “Saturday 24th January - P.M. We had the most amazing time as a family, enjoying a birthday party here with our friends. Staff - very welcoming of all the children. The youngest was 8 years old and didn't want to go home. Service at the bar - attentive and friendly. Buffet food - very tasty, especially the fish goujons, fresh sandwiches/wraps. The kids loved the Camembert bites!! Overall, a wonderful night with super entertainment, lovely food and everyone enjoying themselves. Thank you to all involved.”

  “Not up to the standards of other Ember Inns I’ve been in. The girl serving at the bar wasn’t welcoming and seemed very miserable. The bar wasn’t very warm , despite there being fires lit. …”

  “I’ve been in recently for a couple of drinks. The pub is well presented, with clearly a lot of effort going in to its decoration. The staff are quite attentive for a busy pub and they’ve foster a nice atmosphere The manager was about and seemed to be really knowledgeable about his ales. I didn’t have any food but I would come back for some in the future.”
