We were seated very near to a noisy bar in a dark corner of the pub. Only 1 barman covering everything so service was slow. Good food although 1 of our party chose badly & didn't eat much of her food. The separate dining room looked nice & light but I expect on a quiet Wednesday lunch time they don't bother opening it. Overall I think this is a place to go to in the evening.

Attractive pub and busy with people enjoying the evening sunshine. Warm friendly welcome. The menu was not as aspiring as we have round on previous visits. Although nothing wrong with the food we were a little disappointed.

The breakfast was very good, however the waitress was clearly being asked to do too much with number of customers. Perhaps this was because it was at at peak period, but we had a long wait before she took our order

My partner, who is 8 months pregnant, was served quiche with raw egg. When we informed a staff member, they didn't seem to care much. They took the quiche away and asked what she'd like instead, but didn't apologize much. We were very disappointed. The waitress, who said she was new and in training, was the best staff member they had. Later that night, my partner was sick, which was not surprising after eating raw egg.

A busy day for the staff. They were one person short of beign able to provide a decent level of service. Empty plates left on the table for ages, we eventually cleared them to one side, and had to go to the bar get drinkls ordered. We opted against as desert because we feared such a long wait. The staff working were all very good so I guess the owners clearly had got the staffing numbers wrong.

This was not the usual pub dining experience as all the dishes were clearly cooked from scratch on site. The food was imaginative, beautifully presented and cooked to perfection. Service was excellent too.

Very warm welcome, once we were actually seen to. The staff were very pre-occupied and almost seemed as if they didn't see us standing at the bar. At one point, they walked from behind the bar even though we were stood there waiting - our plates and glasses were not cleared after lunch for a good hour and when we went in to pay, again the staff ignored we were there. Once acknowledged the staff were really lovely so it was a shame to have that negative associated. As a slight side, our carrots were raw and potatoes dry. Otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed the beef roast - the gravy was particularly delicious!
