Read moreCame here for a dinner with my wife and 5 year old daughter this evening. We haven't been here in a while and we're looking forward to enjoying a enjoyable family meal at the start of the school holidays. First of all the menu was very poor we didn't realise that it was a reduced offering due to kitchen refurbishment. Unfortunately our meal wasn't very pleasant I had a steak and ale pie, my wife had a Stilton burger and my daughter had chicken nuggets and chips. The menu states that you can choose chips, you don't get chips you get fries. y wife ordered her burger with extra Stilton when it arrived we played a game of hunt the Stilton, we then sent it back. even when it was returned to our table it looked a sad excuse for a burger swimming in grease and from.my wife's comments the bun tasted like cardboard. My pie was very salty and dehydrated peas. Both adult meals came with the same amount of fries as the child's portion.
The member of staff that served us came across as bored and generally uninterested in providing a pleasant dining experience. Neither my wife or I could be bothered in complaining as the staff were obviously not interested.
What used to be a lovely place to eat has gone massively downhill. With better options local to here we won't...
Read moreConsistently good pub food, we visit several times a year and it never fails to deliver. They offer a loyalty card which is stamped after each visit and, when fully stamped, it entitles you to a free main course.
The portion sizes are on the large side (which suits me!) if you're a small eater you will struggle with more than just a main course. I'd definitely recommend sharing the camembert between two (pictured).
There are a number of vegetarian options, of which I highly recommend the veggie lasagna (I actually prefer it to the beef).
If you can manage a dessert, I'd highly recommend the Movenpick ice creams from the specials menu.
Reservations are advised, especially at peak times, as it tends to get quite busy. People in wheelchairs may struggle, not sure if it's possible to come through another entrance but the restaurant area is up a flight of steps. Having said that the bar area is on ground level and it's possible to eat here too. Worth giving them a call to ask.
During winter the restaurant area can be a little on the chilly side, so if you feel the cold make sure you've got a jumper (it's never uncomfortably cold mind).
There are two car parks, both of which are free to use and I've never struggled to...
