   Lovely meal. We had the burger and ham egg and chips and was very tasty and the best we have had for a while. Really stunning new dining area and great service.

   First time going to this pub due to recommendations from friends. I chose the roast beef and my husband chose the 3 meat roast. The waitress brought the dinner over to us and said what was what which ended up me having the 3 meat roast, which actually turned out to be a 2 meat roast with just beef and pork as she told us what was what incorrectly. Luckily I just gave him the pork from my plate, which should have been his plate but there was no chicken. We couldn't just swap plates as he had already put salt, pepper etc on and I don’t have that on my food. The food was nice but the meat was a bit fatty, we just cut the fat off but there was a lot of it. The Pub itself was really cold which made us rush our dinner so we could get back into the car to get warm. I probably wouldn’t rush back to this pub but maybe in the summer when it will be warmer

   Christmas lunch 2025. We totally understand no one wants to work Xmas day and that you pay a premium for this. However, service was very slow between courses, we were placed in the middle of a walkway and people constantly brushed past us. The vegetables were raw, bullet sprouts. I left most of it. Starter and dessert were nice. Never treated ourselves to this before but will be cooking ourselves next year. Wine from Kent was delicious, really recommend that.

   We were served by a lovely lady at the bar who was taking all the orders on her own, who I think was quite new to the job or to recent changes to the menu maybe. I felt for her having no support. She was very apologetic for any delay in taking orders and I could see it upset her that she couldn’t do her job to her full potential. But she certainly gave it her all. One guy seemed to bring the food to the tables and I didn’t see any other waiting staff. They were both really lovely friendly people. And it didn’t affect our visit. But I did feel they could have done with another pair of hands to support them. The food was lovely. The kids burgers were a good size and a nice quality meat. The pub itself is cosy and friendly. We will return. Thanks.

   Food was very good - we had steak and the pie, very good portions. Coffee was good, and service was fine except that, considering how quiet it was, the staff appeared less attentive/present than they might have been.

    A very enjoyable experience all round. Very generous portions, great value and relaxing atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautifully decorated for Christmas and would be a perfect place for a Christmas party.
