Food was fine, certainly nothing special for the price. However, the service was very poor. Our waitress spilled water all over the table and told us she was get some paper towels to clean it up. She forgot, and was stood chatting to her friend. We had to go and get her before the water spilled over our legs. We were left with empty drinks and then couldn’t pay the bill. The majority of the room were trying to get the attention of the waitresses at this point but to no avail. I must add, it was not busy either otherwise I would be more sympathetic. To top it off, I had asked for a birthday desert for my partner, which was added to the bill, but not actually given to us. Very disappointing. Wouldn’t recommend.

Ordered at 6 told 40 min try 1 hour 20 food was cold burger bun soggy on bottom cheese on top of chips was hard cos it was cold will not order from here again all food cold rotten

A good old-fashioned country pub

I don't normally leave bad reviews but yesterday I visited for breakfast I always have pancakes with fruit and it's usually great but not on this occasion.i usually get the syrup in a little bowl to add to each of my pancakes but it was just a bit on top I opened my pancakes onto my bowl and the others were dry I asked for a little more just to be told I'd have to go pay for some more I explained why has it just been tipped on top I had my fruit in the bottom of my bowl with tiny bits of strawberry but it seemed all muched up because of the syrup they just threw on top I wasted half because it was dry I visit a few times a week but I'm thinking that's the last
