We visited for food in early November, 2019.

In short... Nasty coffee, awful service, worse food.

Tried ordering mixed grill... None available. Tried ordering gammon... then was told that the grill was broken, and anything requiring the grill was basically off menu.

The service... Was basically when the staff took the order/payment at the bar, and when they brought the food out from the kitchen. We had to get our own menus, napkins and cutlery (was not even informed). No check-back until we were finished eating. I had to take my plate up to the bar to request to have my steak cooked to requested spec. Very informal and unprofessional.

Having been told 'not available' to our first (and second) choices from the menu, we eventually ordered 1 medium Sirloin steak, and 1 medium-well Rump steak. The meals arrived within a fair time, but reversed. The Rump was pink and bloody, the Sirloin was medium-well (too tough). The chips were either oven-cooked or microwaved... A matter of taste, but I thought the chips were disgusting. The half tomato tasted unripe and sour. In hindsight, we should have ordered from the '2 meals for a tenner' section.

Drinks... I did not try their beers/wines/spirits. Soft drinks range was limited.

I ordered a cappuccino... Which tasted like watery filter-coffee with frothed milk. I did not order a second drink.

Parking... There was a limited but camera'ed car park behind the pub, with direct access to the main road. The parking fee was deducted from our order cost at the bar when the ticket was presented (free parking for customers).

Feel & elbow room... Spacious, and a lovely building. Could argue that it was a bit dark, but I liked the lighting level (where we were sat anyway). A quiet rainy evening.

Small smoking shelter out back (tight squeeze for 10?), along with a few wooden tables, a small paved area, and carpark.

I will NOT be returning (unless paid to revise - but that would be a pricey proposition). Very disappointed, especially considering it's location.
