I've been here a few times now, and I can honestly say the food just seems to get better every time, great service and friendly staff. i would recommend the Big beef beef burger and the philly steak. Both meals were really good

We went on the 28th of June and booked a table. Can I say to your owners if I may you have a outstanding team and on this occasion you should be proud of them. We was served at the bar by a very lovely warm young lady called sienna. She was so upbeat and couldn't do enough to serve us. What a lovely refreshing way to be greeted to the pub. So thank you for being a delight. I'm so glad you're kind to customer who treat you the same way you have such a lovely personality. Can I say the heat was getting a bit to poor Tristan but he didn't drop the ball giving us nothing but great customer service. Made it extremely special when we ordered pudding as we made him smile about cold apple pie and cold custard which we laughed about. He also brought a candle out in my pudding as he was told it was my birthday by the sweet sienna and that one beautiful touch of care really made my day. Thank you so much Tristan you serve us all fantastic and still kept going despite the heat. As for food may I give the kitchen staff which was Scott, jade and Paige the biggest complaint I can unfortunately I couldn't talk to them and say thank you. I had chicken pie and mash potatoes may I say what ever you do to the mash potatoes well you should be proud I enjoyed the mash. The pie was full of filling and we all loved our food. I would like to say sorry for confusing you with the cold apple pie and cold custard I really am happy you got it right he enjoyed it and made the day special. Thank you as well for the candle in my pudding was sweet of the kitchen team as well. Thank you so very much for the food the fantastic drinks and the great memory of that day. Would honestly highly recommended the atmosphere for someone who struggles with people was great. You should all be completely happy with yourself and thank you so much for making my birthday special. Hope you're management team show you all this.

We went for Christmas dinner. It didn’t feel like Christmas at all. There was no Christmas atmosphere . Food was average. Nothing special. At Christmas you would expect something special. The carrots were too hard to eat . Would not visit this pub again. Our server Tristan was wonderful Five stars for him.
