    The staff, two young ladies, were extremely busy but still took time to make sure everyone was happy. The food was delicious and hot. We will definitely be returning soon.

    Was very disappointed with the food My steak ale pie with mash was tasty but poorly presented on the plate. The mash looked like it had been microwaved and tipped straight onto the plate, you could see the carton shape. The other meal was in a very small fish dish and wasn't big enough for the actual meal and was difficult to cut. (loaded fries).

    Food not as good as usual. Waitress was in kitchen , laughing, joking and singing to the top of her voice along with kitchen staff. The problem was that we were sat beside the kitchen dividing wall ( fully open from head height) so you could hear everything and at time couldn’t hear what we were saying to each other. My friend had to go around into the kitchen to ask for pudding menus and then got them herself. We did tell the waitress we could hear everything and to her spirit! However the noise and loud laughter still continued. Never had that here before . Just wondering if management were away for the evening!

    Food was good, reasonable prices, friendly staff. The only down side was that we were hoping to have a Wednesday roast, but there was no vegetarian option and cabbage was not available.

    Had the mixed grill, thought it could have been better: for example onion rings grilled tomatoe and chop maybe as l have had at other pubs. Also specials board displayed with items not available.
