Staff are warm and welcoming and the restaurant has a cosy and relaxed feel. Good selection of food on both the main menu and also the Specials board - one of chose beef, the other belly pork - both were delicious.

The food was very poor. Soup was cold and had tove reheated. The chips were soggy and either overcooked or raw. The cheesecake was more lik3 a mousse and the crumb base like concrete, sticky toffee pudding was cold. We only drew the attention of the waitress to the soup and chips. However, we were still charged the full amount. I feel the meal was over priced regardless of the poor quality. Won't eat here again, and definitely would not recommend.

Service could've been better, we felt a bit forgotten about and we struggled to make ourselves understood by the waiter. Enjoyed the main meal but dessert was disappointing. No gluten free dessert on the menu (not even an Ice cream menu) and could do with more flexible options for adapting meals to make them gluten free e.g. gluten free Yorkshire pudding or bread buns etc. Treacle tart had very burnt pastry, I should've just sent back really but I'd already eaten quite a bit using the berries and ice cream to disguise it!

We have eaten here before so were really looking forward to a roast beef dinner, unfortunately they have started "infusing" the beef spoiling the old traditional flavour. We enjoyed our meal but prefered not to have added aromatic herbs added to what used to be perfect. The yorkshire pudding was great as usual.

I've eaten a couple of times in the evening from the dinner menu and I've enjoyed it and would recommend but this I think this lunch was not well presented and not good value. More staff and a properly paid chef needed I think

The restaurant was busy but we had booked in advance. We ate from the lunch menu which was a fairly extensive pub style menu although there was a specials board. All four of us had the regular fish and chips. They were very good and we liked the Timothy Taylors beer batter with bread crumbs. Two of us had the jam roly poly and two the treacle tart. The tart was very good but a bit hard. A good meal and friendly service.

Ordered a beef sandwich with side salad which when it arrived was a huge salad with a few strips of beef! When I asked the waitress was told if you have the salad you don’t get bread even though the menu said it is served with either salad or tortilla chips , I found the attitude of the waitress quite abrupt and made my party feel uncomfortable, there needs to be more clarity on the menu!

The food was mediocre. Baked Brie turned out to be a few pieces in a dish with raw garlic all instead of a melted whole Brie which the price suggested. The main was shoulder of lamb on sloppy mash which was poorly disguised by an overblown Yorkshire pudding. A raspberry mousse followed. This had a grainy texture as if recently defrosted, the ice cream on top was better. Overall a very mediocre Sunday lunch although as always the beer was fantastic
