Friendly staff and excellent beers and lagers. With nice local crowd. Free pool table and darts. Three tv screens showing sport events. They have several comfortable bedrooms. Unfortunately no breakfast or dining anymore.

I was told that the restaurant no longer serves food. Pity because they do have rooms and plenty customers in the bar. Even guests cannot get a breakfast.

Great value, friendly, clean. Shame that the kitchen was closed, hopefully temporarily. Single room had everything I needed.

We went I the pub after seeing the pictures of the food and good ratings, thought we would get some nice food but got to the bar only to be told they don't serve food anymore very disappointed, They should update their website so people wouldn't go out of their way to get food, only to be disappointed and a waste of a journey

Not The Hotel California of Eagles fame, but our lunchtime pub grub was lovely. The Landlord who served us drinks and took our order was very friendly and efficient , and everywhere was spotlessly clean , -- plenty of parking, we will be lunching here again .

Visited twice in a week whilst staying in the area. Excellent service and friendly staff on both occasions. Portions of the mains are quite generous so on the 2nd occasion we decided to skip the starter. Would recommend for standard pub grub and friendly ambience.

Eaten here twice and had 'The Cali Burger' both times. What more can I say other than absolutely delicious! A big juicy burger which tastes awesome combined with the caramelised onions, cheese and a thick rasher of smoked bacon. Truly perfection! The accompaniments are also of the highest quality. From the homemade chips to the homemade tomato sauce to the homemade coleslaw. 5 stars!

Called in for a light lunch as it is my partners’ birthday. Had the seafood platter to share. We were told no taramasalata available and they replaced it with mackerel pate which was lovely. However one of the main components of the platter was a mix of ?prawns/ crayfish and crab I think it was. It tasted odd and smelt bad like old socks. I thought it was my imagination to begin with until my partner said don’t eat any more I think it’s off.. it was also a strange colour. The smell was quite strong. We ate everything else. We told the waitress when she came to collect the plates and said she would tell the chef. We went to the till to pay ( half expecting the chef would have come out to apologise, but he didn’t). The waitress said sorry for that and charged us the full amount ( approx £35 for the platter and two lattes). Very disappointing and I’m afraid we will never call again ( we are also fairly local).

Overpriced pub food. Left waiting for drinks and desserts. Would not eat here again. Disappointed !!! Had to keep going to the bar to ask where our food was.
