Sadly the Beef Tasting Board contents lacking in taste and balance - too much low quality dry meat and little accompanyment (no vegetables and a spoon full of chips each). Reduce quantity of higher quality cut/dishes would have been better. Starters were both okay - just average. We won't be recommending this restaurant based on this experience.

First visit on a freind’s recommendation, and we will definitely return. Tasty, freshly prepared food (the busy kitchen is on full view), good atmosphere and excellent service. The noise level was high - but it was obviously a busy and popular restaurant on a Saturday night. Wide menu choice, with several pub food staples, but all served to a very high standard. A great find.

Nice ambience, great service, lovely pudding. Very disappointed in my fish pie, lots of cream sauce, mussels and squid, a little white fish and salmon. Think it needs a proper explanation for the pie on the menu. My friends mushy peas were like crisps. Rather overpriced. But it was full so lots of people are happy

Enjoyed the food. Very tasty crispy oriental pork starter in a very large bowl. Awkward to eat with knife and fork. Chop sticks would have been a nice option. The lamb Sunday roast was very good with a super array of vegetables which were the stars of the meal. A little pot of extra gravy would have made the meal, as the Yorkshire pud was very dry. The dining area is a little cramped with diners having to move to let others get to their seats but this is a querk of the cosy surroundings

Nice atmosphere for a late afternoon Sunday lunch. Beef, pork and lamb all good. Prawn and crayfish tails a bit disappointing though, too small, rice pudding delicious

Food was very good as was service, however we continuously had people coming through from the bar to use the toilet and squeezing past us when we were eating our meal. Only recommendation is that they don’t allow people in the bar to use the toilet in the restaurant.

My party of 4 were in Bar1. It was extremely noisy particularly when later diners from the othe room came in prior to eating. The staff were first class and the food plentiful and good quality . I will certainly go again, but not in Bar1 and not on for Sunday lunch,

Sat in the doorway next to open fire. A lovely idea, but every time the door opened an arctic blast causes a plume of smoke from the fire to surge forward and deposit ash on us and our food. On top of that there was a group of about 20 people who stood around our table talking loudly and the staff did nothing to remind them that we were trying to have a meal. Clearly we were not going to be paying anywhere near as much as they were so perhaps our custom wasn't important. It was so noisy that my partner and I were unable to have a conversation. This was supposed to be a romantic night. The waiter naively asked if we were ok with the noise so I told him I was not satisfied. He offered to move us through into the bar! The bar! If I'd wanted a bar meal I would have gone for a cheap bar meal! I WILL NOT BE GOING BACK! The only reason it was an amber and not a red is that the food was good.

Great menu and surroundings. Very friendly staff. Food was great and served well. Plates well presented and it all looked as tasty as it was. Quiet Monday night when we went, but they still had a roaring REAL fire in the grate.

On the whole a good night the pub was very busy so there were a few mix ups ... I wasn’t keen on my main course but the rest of our party were happy with theirs and the puddings were fab . The young staff did a very good job perhaps a bit keen at times but better that way than getting forgotten !

An enjoyable lunch with friends. Food was attractively served, lovely and hot. The only improvements I would suggest would be to provide more vegetables with mains and for the inn to invest in a better quality coffee making facility. Service was pleasant, welcoming and efficient.
