   Whilst the food was good quality, we ordered three roast dinners and all were cold by the time they were served. We did advise a member of the team but they didn’t do much about it. It was also quite cold in the pub, but we would definitely eat there again and passed on the feedback at the time.

   Went for Sunday lunch with a group of friends, been here many times before but clearly since Andy the manager has left things have gone down hill slightly. As always delicious food, but the service was far from excellent. Had to ask twice for gravy and sauces to compliment our roast dinner. Had to ask twice for hot milk for my coffee, very slow and poor service throughout our visit. Staff just walking around looking lost, just seemed no one at was taking charge of the place. A real shame.

   First visit ( needed somewhere convenient for airport and a decent Sunday roast). Had trouble finding actual entrance to building but once in, was impressed. Lots of staff do no waiting around. It was a freezing cold day and not very warm inside the building but it soon warmed up once more people arrived. My friend was on crutches but we were put on a table up a level so she struggled with steps. Our order was taken quickly and the food arrived promptly. It was hot, plentiful and delicious. No complaints at all with the food. Good value for money!

   I took my partner for her birthday last night. I have eaten there before and it was good, so expected the same. Food was excellent, both had steaks, cooked perfectly to our liking , chips, excellent, accompanying veg dishes, also excellent. Deserts were equally good, and GF options availabe on many dishes. Good choice of wines, and the one lad who was working was also ecxellent, very polite and attentive, nice table on its own, had a very nice evening,thanks

   Really lacked any ambience. Rather cold and bleak. Was looking forward to eating here as prices suggested it would be good. Plumped for chicken Kiev, classic’70’s fare at £24. Oh dear! No garlic butter inside at all and chicken tough. Should have sent it back. Average apple and pear crumble. Don’t get fancy with crumble. It is what it is and this disappointed. Without the cream, ice cream and custard it would have been average at best. Owner made his opinions clear at this request so didn’t improve my mood. Too many highly strung yappy dogs. Round trip of 4 hours to catch up with relatives made for a flat day out. Will not return.
