We used to go here a lot and although the menu price was expensive it was worth it. I think they've changed management as the resident dog was not there. We haven't been there for some time but when we sat down at the table it was dirty. The tables mats needed to replaced, in fact they were falling apart. On a closer look some of the lamps shades had holes in them, and the settee in the window had a huge rip in it. I felt comforted with the fact that the cutlery was encased in very nice white napkins. The starters was very nice, but we both had mussels as a main course and mine was very salty. I do understand that mussels come from the sea and to expect some kind of salt, but I think the chef over did the salt, and one of my mussels was still closed!!! None of the staff came across to ask if everything was alright? Shame I would have pointed that out. We paid the bill and one the way out the waitress said that she was sorry that we didn't find it a good experience. It would take me a while to go back here. £15.00 for a place of mussels without chips, although we asked for no chips but no price refuction was offered, or an...
Read moreGreat experience, we booked for Sunday lunch, and as a party of 13 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs, I think the staff accommodated us well. Obviously we couldn't take the dogs in the restaurant area, but after juggling a few tables, they seated us in the bar area. The staff were pleasant and welcoming, drinks and food orders were taken in a nice relaxed pace, not feeling rushed at all. The Sunday menu options were more than adequate, ranging from full roasts, Lamb, beef or pork to burgers, scampi or sausage and mash with seasonal veg ( the latter was delicious I might add). The decor throughout was light and clean, and the lighting was good ( not always the case in older country pubs. There were a number of bench style tables outside at the front, i didn't actually notice if there was a rear garden. Overall we had a lovely lunch, everyone commented on how nice the food was. There was a number of takers in our party for deserts. The adjacent bar had a TV showing sky sports (not for everyone, but a nice option to have). The toilets were clean and in good order. The drink options were plentiful. Would definitely...
Read moreI Had been very disappointed in the past with the way this pub operates with bookings etc but the food is amazing there. At some Point I went there without a booking and although there were many tables available I was told I couldn’t stay cause I did not have a reservation. Tips; Always call them and book a table! ALWAYS! On Sundays order the pork shoulder roast without any sides etc cause it’s more than enough The burgers during weekdays are amazing The place is nice an clean but sometimes the management feels a bit weird and although they say hello , if feels like they really want to say get out of here Staff members are lovely (so far) although on Sunday’s they have lots of reservations so they want you to
But again the food is lovely .... When people go out to eat they don’t have to compromise in mediocre experiences... they go out to have fun and get the full package. Customer service , environment, good food.
That’s the reason I gave 3stars
But the food...
