Didn't have our bookings! My friend and I both phoned on separate occasions in July to make reservations as a large group of 12 had booked a table in the Chinese above the dressers Arms in November. This was the only weekend all of us were available the same day due to shift patterns and family commitments, and the first time we had all managed to meet since before covid.
On the morning we were due to arrive I phoned to ensure that they had us down as a ground floor room, they informed me they had no booking. I explained that i personally booked 17th july and the price was confirmed .....we booked in July, no record! I asked my friend to call and check her booking, she had the same issue. This resulted in some of us being unable to attend the birthday celebrations that had been planned since July!
The birthday girl was very upset and phoned the guest house to be told "sorry, but have a good night!" How could she have a good night when 4 of her guests have no where to stay!
When we called in July they accepted our booking over the phone, they never asked us to book or confirm in any other way. They didn't seem to care that they had ruined the night for those unable to attend. Won't be booking any further events there again. Very...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI came with a group of around ten for the Greek night . I ordered a Greek salad due to not feeling hungry after a late lunch . I love Greek salad itās normally fresh chopped lettuce sliced tomatoes cucumber , herbs , nice chunks of feta cheese seasoning and usually served with some nice warm pitta bread and sometime olives . Sadly My salad was 3 or 4 roughly chopped tomatoes in a side bowl with a few bits of red onion two matchbox sized feta cheese pieces , a few slices of cucumber and that was it . It had no real Greek seasoning on it , it looked a mess and tasted bland , to add injury to insult they charged 6 pounds for that ! For something knocked up probably due to busyness but still no excuse , very disappointing and ime sure any Greek person would be embarrassed to serve up !! Such a excuse for a salad so what happened! Too embarrassed to complain as with new friends but felt ripped...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'm so glad I found this little gem. I nearly didn't go when I saw the Google reviews, but trip adviser rated it highly and I'm glad I followed their advice. I'm happy to leave a 5 star review as the food and service are excellent.
A good selection of ales and wine, a warm welcome from the bar staff and fantastic food. This is a real country pub with roaring fire and warm decor.
We had the Saturday steak deal. For £13.99 for two I wasn't expecting the steak to be up to much, but I can honestly say it was one of the nicest I have ever eaten. None of us wanted to drink the free bottle of wine, so they let us take it home unopened!
Reading the other reviews on here I can only imagine that the pub must have changed chefs as all the mains looked great. I wasn't too enamoured by the desserts on the menu, so didn't have one. But I'm more of a savoury guy myself.
I'll definitely...
