Went for an evening drink here last night. Great pub. Fair prices with a good range of drinks available. Landlady and staff were lovely and interact very well even for a first time patron such as myself. The pub is very clean and well decorated. The toilets are nice and clean. The beer garden is nice. The exterior of the building looks lovely too. The locals and customers were very nice, chatty and happily sharing a laugh. I had a couple of sandwiches while there and they were lovely.
I will update this review after I have been on Sunday for the Sunday roast As I will be able to say what the food is honestly like. My hopes have been raised from what many have said locally. UPDATE* FOOD: just had Sunday dinner here and WOW! It was very very good indeed. I have a bit of all the meats and a sausage. Succulent and tender honestly top notch meat. The Yorkshire puddings were really good as well, they know how to make them for sure. The veg, plenty of it as well, was well cooked so that you knew it was still a vegetable rather than mush. Cauliflower cheese I enjoyed so much I could have gone back loads of times. Roast potatoes were awesome. Crisp but fluffy inside. The gravy is one of the best I have out eating.
Sunday dinner here is a must of you are nearby or in the area.
Many thanks. I would travel 200 miles...
Read moreWe held a wake here. On the day everything was fine, room was set up how we wanted it, the buffet was out and replenished, and the staff were all working hard to serve everyone. However, despite having two meetings prior to the event where costs etc were discussed, when we received the bill it was A LOT more than expected, over 25% more. Because we had no idea why it was so high, we asked for it to be itemised, but it was basically made up on a scrap of paper. When the bill was questioned, she was very defensive, called us petty, couldn't really justify why it was so high, and basically implied it didn't matter because we could afford it anyway!!!? One example is we were told room hire was £10 an hour, which is very reasonable, and that was the venue fee. However, after the fact, there were charges for extra staff (when no staff were allocated to the function room specifically), use of the kitchen, and use of BOTH of the bars?! NONE of this was mentioned prior to the event. We got the bill down a bit, but were still definitely taken...
Read moreWe chose Churchills for our Wedding Reception in 2023. We had a Carvery lunch and it was honestly the best Carvery I've ever had. All the guests enjoyed it and we had a wonderful afternoon afterwards. We had a buffet in the evening, which was great value for money, and there was so much food. They also catered for the gluten free and vegetarian guests and the food was well received. Churchills also decorated the room for us and it was beautiful. It did not cost a huge amount of money and to be honest I don't know how they do it for the price as we were treated like royalty all day. I cannot recommend Churchills enough. Thank you to all the staff for making our special day...
