From the outside it looks like a top notch village pub where you would expect a cosy atmosphere and a roaring open fire and hearty grub

Inside isn’t like that sadly as you find a very cold and basic decor that feels a bit like sitting in the staff room at the local co-op

The people running the pub were friendly enough but seemed distracted to the point of losing most of the warm welcome and customer service you’d expect to see.

So I sat and ordered a steak and ale pie which most pubs can do well

What I got was a dish of inedibly tough stewing steak with a ridiculous puff pastry top that just crumbled to dust when cutting it. Honestly was such a disappointment that such a basic dish can be messed up as badly

The couple on the table next to me were discussing the lack of attention and atmosphere in the pub and I couldn’t disagree

It’s a curious place.

If they can improve it and have it as nice on the inside as the outside promises then daytime midweek trade would be much better

Oh and there’s no lock on the toilet cubicle door either so you have to sit and physically hold the door shut

And I wasn’t offered any condiments or sauces with my meal at all

Attention to detail (and their customers) from staff here could make all the difference

And a huge uplift in standard of food and service needed to get repeat custom during...

Tiny bit disappointed to be honest. Could have said but no one likes to be embarrassed. Chicken burger was an over cooked SMALL piece of chicken in a dry bun. No relish blah blah. Chips tasted fine but were well soft. Beer was good and the service faultless. A cheery landlord which was nice. I struck lucky as my all day breakfast was excellent apart from the dry sliced mushrooms. The butter for the toast wasn't frozen so that was reassuring. Sausages, bacon and hash brown ten out of ten. Comfy seats with plenty of atmosphere going on. Highly recommended, just don't expect much from a...
