We’ve recently moved to the area and enjoyed having this place as our new local pub. Great selection of drinks, and although we haven't yet eaten here, the carvery looks and smells amazing.
However, after tonight we won't be coming again. It’s a dog friendly pub and the Landlord(?) was very good with ours, allowing her to sit on the sofa with us and “feel free to let her off lead in the garden”. All was great and we all felt very welcome. As we were finishing our drink with closing time approaching, they let their dog out in the garden too. Our young, playful and very friendly girl went to say hello. Admittedly, she’s very excitable and their dog wasn’t too impressed by this. He then attacked her. I pulled him off as my dog was making noises I’ve never had this misfortune of hearing before. The Landlady(?) then came out, shouted at her dog “Get inside, I saw what you just did” and closed and locked the door behind them both.
Now, I don’t have anything against the dog. Mine annoyed him and he told her off. They're animals, it’s what happens. But I don’t understand why you’d let a dog who acts that way towards others out in the garden, knowing full well you have customers out there with their dog. Even at this point, we’d have been fine and understanding of the situation. But the fact you didn’t even pop your head out to apologise and check our girl was okay? Disgusting, unforgivable behaviour. How dare you ignore the fact that your dog was aggressive to ours. How dare you lock the door and not even have the decency to check that we were okay. How dare you so openly advertise yourself as...
Read moreWhat a great little pub, just on the outskirts of Dronfield but feels like the middle of no where in its own little oasis of tranquility. Extremely good service, with very polite and attentive staff. The ambience was quiet and relaxed and whilst the place was lightly patroned I got the sense this would be the case when busier due to the layout and relaxing feel of the place. The wife raved about her cod, and the kids loved their meals too. I had the surf n turf and got a good portion size to justify the price tag... Tartar sauce was homemade, creamy and delicious... Mushy peas fresh and lively... The little details that make a good meal great. We will be back... Next visit was just a light bite, both having the pulled pork melt. V nice with crispy chips, homemade coleslaw and a side salad. Dog friendly, we also had Miley with us with water available and sensible 'dog...
Read moreNever eaten at this place before.Had a table booked for my partners brothers birthday.When arriving our table wasn't ready and after around 10 minutes waiting we were given another table with my chair on the end blocking people's access though the pub.When informing a member of staff of this they very reluctantly moved another table to make space.Was I expected to move every time someone wanted to get pass?!. Finally ordered food which to be very honest wasn't very good.Bland tasting,not very hot and portions not very good!. Halfway through the meals the waitress returned asking if people who ordered the pie of the day wanted the sauce that went with it?.Bit late I think?!.Left the very noisy pub after the poor meals and service with everyone saying how poor the whole experience was and that they wouldn't return in the future!.Had to give one star rating as...
