    The food (Sunday roast) was fabulous - just be aware you'll wait a while for it to arrive!

    We booked late lunch on Sunday- always a bit of a risk and indeed we were too late for the roast beef 😢 but we weren’t informed until we were asked for our order. We then waited quite a while for the food to arrive but it was great when it came.

    We are member's of a small group who regularly dine out at a variety of establishments. You asked for my honest experience here it is :- Food - very good Service - good although the person serving appeared harassed,under staffed? Ambiance /atmosphere - disappointing,not helped by the number of children running about for almost the entire duration of our meal.I lost count of the number of times their farther told them to sit down,to no avail. This was possibly aggravated by the position of our table (too close?) Would I recommend - probably not Will I revisit - unlikely,and certainly not early evening.

    The best roast I have had in a long while. Great Yorkshire pudding and cauliflower cheese. Will definitely be back again.

    Sunday roast lunch mid afternoon was delicious. The restaurant was busy and nice atmosphere. The service to our table was slow. Only had a main course and a hot drink and took two hours. Had to ask twice to get the bill.

    Really lovely spot for a quality meal. The care and attention to detail was first class. Couldn’t fault the food at all.

    Two things that stopped me rating you a 10. The portion sizes are very large. Therefore there was no chance of most of our party of women having more than one course. Then the service charge was added automatically which I personally don’t agree with. Far nicer to be given a tip willingly for good service in my opinion. Otherwise good quality food, friendly staff and a generally nice place to have lunch.

    Pretty pub. Waiting and bar staff lovely. Food very good and reasonable price. Man in charge needs to relax- his obvious anxiety adversely affects ambiance and makes him sound curt with customers.

Speculating about someone’s personal state, especially in a highly demanding environment like hospitality, is inappropriate and can be both unfair and harmful. Our team works tirelessly to ensure every guest has a positive experience, even during challenging moments. While we are committed to improving any aspect of our service, we kindly ask for understanding and consideration, recognising the pressures faced in such roles. We encourage all feedback to focus on the service provided rather than assumptions about personal matters. We appreciate your input and remain committed to delivering the best possible experience for our guests. Thank you for your understanding.
