Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the steak, described as cooked to perfection with a massive portion, and the Sunday roast beef with homemade apple sauce and awesome gravy comes close behind. Others name lightly battered haddock with chips and mushy peas, slow cooked belly of pork, sea bass with smooth mash, and a smash burger with chunky chips. Desserts such as sticky toffee pudding and lemon tart with raspberry sorbet get praise, as does a soup starter with a huge portion. Staff are described as friendly, welcoming and attentive, and several reviewers say booking ahead is necessary because the pub is packed even on a Monday. The main criticism is cost: one reviewer called it grossly overpriced for what they ate, finding the Thai green vegetable curry very mild and lacking kick, and noting that condiments came only as sachets of salt, vinegar, ketchup and mayo. One pair returned twice in the same week, and a reviewer mentioned a play park down the road with views across Morecambe Bay.
