   Christmas dinner 2024 - wonderful experience! Such a lovely atmosphere at this family friendly pub. The three of us all went for different options and each dish was delicious. The menu was well thought out and the ingredients high quality. Value was excellent but above all, the staff made the day extra special for us guests. If you’re looking for somewhere for a special occasion meal, look no further! We will definitely be back!

   Lovely roast dinner only spoiled by being swamped with so much gravy it was spilling over the plate! But the meat was lovely. We did not realise that the football would be on screens everywhere in the pub - we probably would not have chosen to eat there if we had known but that is not reallly a criticism - we just didn’t know and are not fans

   Went later in the day and they had run out of chicken,parsnips and leeks. So that was slightly disappointing but we were offered extra veg of what they had left Food was hot and very tasty. Couldn’t find any fault at all. Will know for next time to go earlier

   Sunday lunch Trio of meats x 2. Im sorry but it was awful. Belly Pork had no meat at all in it and the beef was way over cooked, couldn’t cut it. Parsnips burnt as was Yorkshire pudding. Was with my autistic son and he gets upset if things aren’t right so felt I couldn’t complain but this food was substandard, especially for the £19 price. This wasn’t just down to personal preference. Anyone, especially a chef should know the issues with what was served and it was a bit of an insult it was to be honest.

   I didn't realise it wasn't a carvery any more since new management. The food was hot and tasty but there wasn't any stuffing or mash potato The toilet corridor was stinking and needs to be addressed

   We booked a table for Sunday lunch when we arrived we were given menus and shown to our table. It wasn't until they came to take the order we were told there was only 4 beef dinners left none of the other options were available. When the dinner arrived some of the veg was missing, the 'roast potatoes' were frozen not fresh roast potatoes and the beef wasn't that nice. We mentioned about the veg to which they replied we ran out, it would have been nice to have been told beforehand. Annoyingly we had eaten off the lunch menu the previous day and this was quiet nice.

    I booked a table for 9:30 for friends who had just finished the Geordieman, the booking was confirmed and then I was asked to confirm I was still coming which I did, then a few hours before we were due to arrive I was contacted my email, which thankfully I had access to via my phone, to tell me that their kitchen closes at an earlier time. I asked why I had been able to book a table via their booking system and I didn’t really get any answer to that and they would not make an exception, so I was then scrabbling around to find another place to eat on a Sunday night for two hungry people who had just swam 2.4 miles, cycled 112miles and run a marathon one after the other. So I was pretty disappointed that we didn’t get to eat there, and that there doesn’t seem to have been any learnings to adjust their system of booking. Poor customer service before even starting.
