Chequers Inn Hotel Bar & Restaurant in Wealden

Lovely historic ambience and architecture. Stayed in the suite for one night as had to attend a wedding. Food was lovely and service was great. Great customer service. Very pleasant and helpful. The Suite. Bathroom was beautiful although l just used the shower due to finding hair in the bath. I feel the interior decoration in the suite could be warmer, with more colour. The glass furniture in the room is rather tacky including the silver lamps too. A shame for such a lovely space and the amount paid for the night. The room of itself is a lovely size, nice windows and view. Thank you.

The rooms are clean and neat but unbelievably hot, and the windows cannot be opened beyond a crack and the pillows are small and uncomfortable. To add to it there's security lighting pointed straight at some of the rooms. The staff seemed hassled and service was very, very slow

Only had a drink but the cider was flat and the wine awful. We were also greeted with two very drunk pensioners one who had her knickers around her ankles . We left.

Stayed here for the night of 21 May, looking forward to having a drink and chefs special before a nice nights sleep. The place was in darkness at 4.15 pm. I was provided with my key and made my way to the room, no lights in the corridor so had to use a torch to find the room and unlock the door. As the pub side was obviously closed (this hadn't been explained when booking) I had to go out to get something to eat. When I got back an hour and a half later the front door was locked, and it hadn't been explained to me how to get back in. Eventually found the back door, no lock on the door, so the corridors to the rooms were available for the whole world to get to. On waking I was expecting a nice breakfast before my long walk ahead to Golden Cross, but the 'breakfast' area was locked and no food available. I then tried checking out, no staff in the Inn so nowhere to leave my key as couldn't get to the reception area (where I was told to leave the key), so had to leave my room unlocked and the key in the room.

Lovely family run traditional pub. Built in the 1400s, such a rare find. Really lovely to meet Fabio and his Dad. Thank you for the hospitality.

No chef available extremely poor standards indeed. But if there was Food available we doubt whether we would even consider eating there due to a possible Hygiene issues..

Grotty, dated and dirty room. The place was like a cave, all the lights turned off. My room had no shower or bathroom, one assumes it was shared facilities (not mentioned on the website booking) Didn’t stay long enough to find those shared facilities. The only facilities the room had were a disgusting toilet in one corner and a dirty sink. There was odd signage everywhere listing do’s & don't’s, including no food to be consumed hot or cold not purchased from the hotel, which didn’t look like it had produced any food for years. It was at that point and the prospect of a night in this nightmare I checked out and gave the owner the key back, I was in the room less than 20 minutes, it was that bad. I get budget, but even the cheapest hotel should be clean and welcoming. This was not. Booked the Premiere Inn down the road. Should of looked a little closer at the listing, it’s a beautiful building from the outside in a great location, but inside it really is past it’s prime, and that’s being kind.

This is the worst hotel i have ever stayed in. Firstly hotel owner shuts up shop and goes home at 8,if you arrive for check-in after this time,the hotel is locked and you cant get in. We had to get the pizza shop next door to call him and let us in. Apparently he left a voicemail on my mobile to let ourselves in through the backdoor and help ourselves to the room,the key is inside the bedroom, whilst our 1 night stay, met other people wandering around cluless,it was almost comical like mr bean is running the hotel. Then when we finally got into our room, our toilet had not been cleaned, there was poo in the toilet and other human bodily stuff in the sink and shower . There were no hand towels, although he had left bath towels, there was another family wandering about looking for towels,as they had no towels . There was no cover on the quilt. Thick layer od dust on everything including the tea cups. Terrible hotel.Do not stay here!!!!!! Only gave one star as it the minimum otherwise this is no star

We stayed in the hotel (which was dreadful) and no food was ever being served. Not sure if this was a temporary closure or if they just don't do food full stop, but they advertise dinner and breakfast menus as part of the hotel experience yet they couldn't provide. Probably for the best as the whole place was grotty and gloomy

Very untidy in room and needs some major update Toilet would not flush Dirty carpets Kettle in room but no tea coffee or milk etc ???? No breakfast even though it states so Also not advised you can only access building from rear after a certain time , dingy and dark and definitely not for a lone traveller

We booked to stay last night and I honestly would have rather stayed in the car! The owner charged more than the internet price as we had to move the booking from lockdown and we might have been OK with that if the following weren't issues: No heating, freezing cold room No tea and coffee facilities No evening meals as the chef decided to go home - even though we were in the bar asking for food No food allowed in room (so we couldn't go and get anything and bring it back either) No breakfast available, despite their website saying available on request No-one there in the morning and we were locked in - so had to find our way out through the service door One towel in the bathroom, which was all falling apart, flooring and tiles either missing or coming away. Very expensive bar - ordinary red wine £23 a bottle Treated like they were doing us a favour letting us stay. All in all a totally horrible experience and made to feel entirely unwelcome. The owner was offering to drive people around despite obviously having a fair amount to drink (in fact he was having an argument with one of the young bar staff about being capable of driving) and clearly couldn't give a hoot about any of his customers. Do not book here and if you want to stay in the area try the Brambletye Hotel opposite - we wish we had! The only saving grace was the amazing cafe next door which served us an amazing breakfast.

A beautiful old building, lovely staff. A new chef who produces amazing food. Lovely atmosphere in the bar and beautifully set up dining room. The girl who runs the bar is great. We have stayed here a lot and they have occasionally struggled with their chefs but have now found a gem. The rooms are basic but perfectly adequate for a lovely nights sleep. Nice and quiet. Breakfast fine. Will always stay here. We love it. Thank you 😊

Fantastic friendly and helpful bar staff. The worst meal we've had in any pub. The fried cod was was so small it looked more like a starter. It was dressed with overcooked frozen shrimps and a few chips. The steak was cooked rare as ordered, but had been put in the pan straight from a very cold fridge and served on a stone cold plate, hence it too was cold. The tomatoes were undercooked and the (apparently) tinned cold mushrooms were just inedible. A watery sauce, possibly pepper, with a skin on the top was served desperately to accompany the steak. A few chips in a warm bowl did not raise the standard of the meal above terrible. We decided to try another hostelry for pudding. All very sad given how pleasant the staff are.

It was the perfect location to meet up with friends from London and the staff were friendly and helpful BUT... the food was very poor. The choice was very limited indeed. My wife is a coeliac and there was no meal she could have as the chips and the potato had gluten in them. The sirloin steaks were not sirloin but were chewy, fatty and massively overpriced. The fish had no recognisable sauce. We complained and were offered free puddings. The apple pie was sent back and came back still frozen and the gateaux was stale. No, not very good. Sadly we won't be going back..

Paid in advance for the room. They matched the internet price. Knew what time we were arriving. Got there earlier. And closed. Called the hotel no answer and no lights on. Luckily Brambletye said they had a room. Come all the way from USA and this happens. To be fair in the morning The owner asked why we had not phoned his mobile. One because we did not have his personal mobile and two they agreed to be open. So we asked for the money back for the night that they had shut early because they had. No customers. They said no, and they were charging us more for the room we did not have. So we took them to the County Court. We also still after 8 months have not recieved an invoice for the food and drinks for our accounts office, the inland revenue and the Vat office, reason ....we do everything in cash... so as per previous people great when we were kids, has slipped to bad. I only gave it one star because there was no facility for a minus number. Oh and the heating was on minimum, the client loved the 70,s decor, which was handy as it was falling off the bathroom walls. Loads more negatives when you walk in it looks like it’s been robbed, nothing on the walls. The person who emailed us was not only illiterate, they made false statements about being open and being with customers. Strange as we live streamed it and time coded it. They also said that there was no proof we had even paid for the room. I did Demi d the young lady I was taking them to court and the confirmation emails, aide memoirs were a dead give away that and the receipt she sent that we had paid. All in all , pretty poor in this competitive market. If your reviews are this bad you are in serious trouble. Oh and they never paid the court fine. The court sheriffs are collecting the goods or money. Another court action is being filed for our receipt for food after 29 emails, promises and nothing.

Great for a lazy, sunny day in Forest Row. Quaint but a little dark inside but a great place to sit and people watch on a sunny day.

We sat outside as the weather was nice, the outside area is ok but nothing particularly special. As you enter the pub, despite it being a nice day, it was dark, cold and dingey, not welcoming at all. We went in to get menus and the man behind the bar served our drinks. When we went to sit down I noticed that I had a large lipstick mark around the rim of my glass, you could hardly have missed it if you were pouring a drink into it! We sent it back and whilst they gave us a new one no one apologised or words to that affect. We both ordered scampi and chips and they arrived quickly. The portions were absolutely minuscule - around 10 chips each and a few pieces of scampi (which were nice but could have done with 3x as many!). It was also served with a very sad looking salad with a few limp smelly pieces of rocket and some olives that had obviously come out of a jar. We ate the small amount of food we were served but I was hungry again in about half and hour! So disappointing. I have eaten here before in the past and had a lovely meal but I won’t be returning to the Chequers. I would avoid if you want anything other than a drink sat out the front.

Popped in here for a family lunch and didn’t stay. Rude man behind the bar gave us menus but they were filthy dirty. We ordered a drink for which I had to give mine back as I had a dirty glass. The place looks derelict inside, cold and so unwelcoming. Needless to say we soon left. This place needs inspecting!! They advertise rooms for £45 a night...I wouldn’t even give them 45p a night.

We booked this establishment about 4 weeks ago for tonight. We should have be staying over night before our flight from Gatwick Airport. At 5.15pm when we were about an hour away a man from there called to ask what type of room we had booked a single, double or twin and he informed us they were closing because they did not have any customer - (I wonder why) and therefore there would be no food or bar available tonight. He was extremely rude - so much for customer service. We of course cancelled our room and asked for a refund let’s see if we get our money back. No wonder they get such poor reviews. Unbelievable!!!!

Visitors to area called in here before visiting us as it looked a lovely old traditional pub from outside.Then they met with owner who was rude, unhelpful and very grumpy. Menu expensive and not very varied and no veggie options .No body else in there either. Such a shame as this used to be such lovely place to visit. Probably ok for a glass of beer or wine outside in summer.

Lovely pub, full of character. So nice to sit by the large open fire in the winter. Friendly staff and locals.

This used to be a nice establishment when my family lived in Forest Row, but it seems the owner doesn't care any more. The quality of both the food and the service is terrible, and the establishment looks very tired.

In a village where one of our pubs has shut down due to the greed of the brewery you would hope the owner of the Chequers would see the opportunity rather than continue to literally take the p@ss. Not here, no chance. From the outside the pub looks charming but inside you soon start to think you've made a wrong move coming in. The pub itself is dark and gloomy and I was astonished at the service offered. The young woman behind the bar struggled to find wine glasses and then wine. The glasses were eventually located and filled with a bottle of supermarket plonk. The glasses had no measurement lines on them, which I think is illegal. I asked for some nuts as well and after staring into space for a full minute the barmaid blurted out a random amount of money was due. I pointed out that the figure she had quoted was made up (it came to an odd number, over 12 quid) and she couldn't tell me how much the wine was per glass, and looked embarrassed. I suggested she had just made up the number and a weird man at the bar told me to stop being rude. He got short shift from me and I paid up because the whole thing was embarrassing and weird. Meanwhile a young Italian family were complaining their fish was off to a chef who couldn't seem less bothered. We at outside and the chef sat near us chainsmoking and looking generally unhygienic. To call this place a shambles insults shambles everywhere. Being ripped off is bad enough but to add insult to injury the wine was pretty rubbish too. I will not visit again. Such a shame as this should and could be a brilliant pub but its falling apart and staffed by a team who combined incompetence with low theft and food that is past its sell by date. Truly terrible.

Came with my husband for a drink before a dinner reservation & it was so cosy in here! The fire was lit, the lights were dim & the drinks were reasonably priced :) would recommend esp during the winter months :)

Tired, dirty looking hotel/pub with rip-off prices and owned by a rude arrogant man. Was charged £9.75 for a large glass of house wine. When I questioned the price I was told by owner that he wasn't interested in talking to me and to "take it or leave it". I'll leave it thanks, Never again.

This is a beautiful old building from the outside, so we thought it would be a good place to have dinner. We went in at around 10.00 am to look at a menu. It was very dark and gloomy inside and didn’t smell very nice. When our eyes got accustomed to the gloom we noticed a staff member behind the bar. He must have seen us standing there, but eventually I had to call out to get his attention and to ask for a dinner menu. It was just basic pub grub, so we decided not to bother. We subsequently asked locals about where to eat in Forest Row and a few turned their noses up when we asked about The Chequers. Such a shame that it feels neglected and tired and does not appear to live up to the promise of its lovely exterior. I can’t comment on the rooms as we were staying elsewhere.

Very comfortable, welcoming. Very clean with good breakfast. It was quiet and I would recommend it to my friends and colleagues. It was just three miles from Byline festival and many colleagues were also staying there.

Chequers Inn is a listed building dating back to 15th century. Used to be a place to change and water horses and overnight stay during the days of horse/carriages. Has seen good days. Sadly and unfortunately, being a character public house, this establishment is in decline and desperately in need of refurbishment. Guest rooms waft with musty smell, linen and towels are probably never changed. Time the owners to wake up an restore the past glory of "Chequers Inn".

Stayed last night for work.I only read the reviews when I arrived or I wouldn't of stayed here.

As previous reviews have given a low score I would say this place has character, its an old pub so what do you expect! We stayed for one night whilst on a cycling trip and had a room on the extension at the side of the hotel. I thought the reception guy had been friendly, gave us the normal talk i.e. time for breakfast, where to park etc. Our room was clean and large and had plenty of helpful advice on what to do in the area.

Just go somewhere else. £4 for cheesey chips (12 chips and a smattering of cheese) Staff unapologetic for the size of portion and generally not concerned with the blatent abuse of customers. Manager claimed cheese was expensive. Just do not visit.

It’s a beautiful old pub, but.... having no ice was the first hint something wasn’t quite right add in miserable, disinterested bar staff, overpriced food arriving in dribs and drabs, grim sandwiches with just about acceptable pizzas with decent chips. I’d say save your money and go somewhere friendly which serves decent food. It’s a shame as the the pub is very beautiful.

It's a real shame that the food leaves a lot to be desired at this pub. Very mean portions considering the sandwiches are £7. The staff are very nice though and they do good pizzas.

There's a truism that you get what you pay for so at £65 per night what do you expect ?

We love coming here for lunch on our independant shopping days. We had a lovely lunch here, the food is great. I don't like the fact that there isn't a table service, you have to go to the bar and order and pay for your food.

Fortunately didn't stay at the hotel, but was camping locally, and entered the pub as for a visit to the local town. Entered to pub to find an Old English pub which seemed quite nice, good weather outside so thought it'll be nice to have a cheeky pint outside in the sun. Entered the pub where we were served by an elderly gentlemen, who appeared absolutely clueless. Firstly he began to pour the wrong pint after I asked for a Guinness, then when asked for a vodka Diet Coke, he said "coke" so we said no vodka Diet Coke, he said "vodka Coke" so we said no, vodka Diet Coke, before the other member of staff next to him repeated what we ordered before he eventually got it right. He then poured the Coke half full, before handing it over. The elderly man then charged me £10.25p for a Guinness and single vodka Diet Coke!!!! Talk about having to remortgage your house for two drinks, we live in London and even their prices aren't as outrageous as this pub. We'd have been declared bankrupt if we asked for a double. After being robbed, we won't be returning.

Metimos en un bocado para comer a la hora del almuerzo. Tenía gambas y patatas fritas, no está mal pero por £12. 50 muy caro! Salsa tártara casera estaba delicioso.

Compartimos una fantástica pizza aquí en mi cumpleaños. De primera clase. No es el mejor de la decoración, pero el personal más que de por esto. Muy acogedor y servicial.

Este tiene que ser el peor hotel en el que me he alojado. En £100 por una noche, también es la más cara para una cama. El precio fue destinado a incluyen desayuno inglés, pero este no se dio. El desayuno "continental" era un mini tostadas empapadas, caja de cereal y un yogur normal del frigorífico estropeado, si quería. No pasteles, no comida cocinada. Café instantáneo. Absolutamente abismal. La decoración está pasada de moda 70 necesita muy urgentemente una reforma. Aunque la comida es anunciado, ninguno puede ser ofrecida como el chef no trabaja de lunes cuando llegamos. Él no estaba allí para ofrecer desayuno al día siguiente.

Este es un lugar extraño. El restaurante estaba vacío y no había personal para hablar aparte de en el bar. Salimos pero nos vino después otro camarero y ofrecía comida - él era realmente bueno! Pedimos sobresaliente y comidas scampi, que llegó bastante rápido y era muy bueno. El servicio era amable y hablador. 2 comidas y bebidas era 34 libras, así que no estoy seguro de lo que está sucediendo en el otro comentario.

Oud hotel, men is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam dit compenseert echter amper de slechte accomodatie. WiFi zeer beperkt, muffige kamers, 1/4 van op de menukaart is beschikbaar. Wat je krijgt te eten is wel goed en vers.

I can't quite believe that I never actually saw a member of staff during the whole of my stay!! My husband checked us in earlier in the day and there were no rooms ready so he couldn't leave our things. When we arrived back late after a wedding, we found a very old-fashioned, dingy, tired room, which at least was clean.For £75 a night I expected a bit more for breakfast the next morning than 'help yourself' tiny boxes of cereal, packaged croissants, drinks, cutlery etc set up in a completely disorganised way at the side of the room. If there was someone to clear anything away we never saw them, and were left in general shock by the quite frankly crappy way in which the guests were left to 'get on with it'.It's such a shame as the building looks really interesting from the outside, but unfortunately this hides the dismal 70's interior which is badly in need of renovation. Avoid!!

We had the restaurant to ourselves as most customer were sitting outside on this hot summer's day. We enjoyed an excellent meal (whitebait and steak) and were served with courtesy and friendliness. A very pleasant pub.

Visited this establishment following a countryside walk with the family. My main concern was the attitude of the barman/owner throughout our visit. It was a painful encounter from the moment we walked in. I ordered a round of drinks and ciabattas, the man serving looked throughly fed up with me and my complex order, first impressions concerned us. I tried to improve on the situation knowing we would meet again when coming to pay so tried to exchange in some light conversation, but this failed miserably so decided to head outside to my family to hand out the drinks and await our ciabattas. £7.50 for a cheese and ham ciabatta with no salad, chips seemed a tad pricey. When the food arrived we all looked at each other with disappointment but to be fair they were tasty albeit basic.We went to pay and queried the cost as the man behind the bar didn't provide a bill just a piece of paper with scribble on it with no cost.?I knew 4 ciabattas would be £30 and the bill came to £59, this jumped out to me as expensive as this suggested the remaining £19 was for the two pints, a half pint of Diet Coke and a white wine spritzer. I had nothing to lose at this point so asked if he could let us know the cost of the drinks and we were advised a pint of Harvey's £5, white wine spritzer £6 and half pint diet Coke £3. We thought this was pricey and when taking into account the slurry attitude from the moment we walked in I suggested it wasn't good value. This feedback seemed to anger the man as he quizzed if we ever eat out, to which I explained we do eat out at well regarded places in the area and this was simply a blip, one we will take every measure not to repeat. A shame as the pub from the outside looks appealing but unfortunately the service was awkward and at times unpleasant.

Lovely old place staff were excellent Lauren especially . Sent beer and wine. The owner a real character Italian lad. We had a pizza to. Fill a hole it was excellent. Superb ancient hostel

We have stayed here once, and decided to call in for lunch on the way home from a weekend away in Kent. Only one other customer (but it was a Monday). Bar chilly despite the large fire, and had a distinct lack of atmosphere. Landlord not very chatty or welcoming. Despite a large menu outside, the menu given to us was very limited. Other than that there were pizzas made to order. We only wanted a snack, and the only things on offer were ciabattas, with about 4 different fillings. We ordered one each. They were very flat and quite small, and the only addition was a very small handful of salad leaves with balsamic vinegar on it. There were £7 each. Very poor for that price. A few years back we had lunch here and the baguettes were really good. Gone downhill I'm afraid.

We stopped on route from London to Eastbourne for a Sunday Lunch - we all fancied a Roast (Wife & 17 year old Daughter). Bar was fairly quiet & despite numerous menu choices chalked up outside, actual menu available was fairly limited - only Roast Beef at £14.95! We were warned the Chef was busy when enquiring about ordering food & were asked if we were in hurry. We decided to order & have a drink whilst waiting. A table of 6 plus a table of 2 were waiting for food in front of us - no one else in the place! The wait wasn't unreasonable but the food was not very good & value for money poor! It was cold & the beef (2 slices) would struggle to cover the palm of your hand. & vegetables sparse - Very disappointed!At £55 for three with 1 drink each - I wouldn't recommend or stop again!!

This is a good place for all sorts of gatherings, including business. Would go again, no problem. Nice beamy atmosphere, good food and good service. A nice evening out.

This hotel is like Fawlty Towers, do not go as it is absolutely chaotic. The manager tries to run it all to save money but cannot. Not very clean and things do not work. Avoid this place at all costs!

I could not believe how rude the owner Claudio was to me and other clients! He out right called me and my friends the rough sort, even though we were sitting quietly in the bar not bothering anyone! We purchased pizzas from the chequers which were so far below part and an hour late to say the least! One positive is the actual staff who are more than lovely and deserve to work for some who isn't rude, obnoxious, constantly pissed and judgemental!

Went in. The land Lord greeted us but took his time and bimbled around. Poor choice of liquid supplements. Ordered Food. Good menu. Lots of choices. Food was very good. The waitress was lacking in smiles. We had our springer. No food options for the dog, not even a sausage. Toilets were grubby. Broken lock on cubicle. Won't be going back unless i knew of a change of ownership.

Basically a pub with some bedrooms (clean, comfortable and quiet). Parking is a lottery when the pub is busy and the nearest public park (free) is about 800 yards away. The breakfast (included ) is as basic as they come. At their lowest advertised price (£45 per night) it is reasonable value.

This was my 60th birthday present to my girls and their families. I was sorely disappointed as it was not to my expectations. It was a Fawltys farce from beginning to end . My fault as I should have read reviews first.

We stumbled across this hotel late afternoon whilst trying to find somewhere for a late lunch. We arrived at 2.45 and the kitchen stopped serving at 3pm. We were welcomed with open arms and what a find! The food was outstanding. The staff we all friendly, efficient and polite. We had two dogs with us who were also welcomed and water bowls were bought out for them immediately.We were so impressed with the quality of food served here that we ate here for the three days we were visiting the area. We cannot recommend this restaurant enough. James the chef came out to speak to us and everything we tried on their varied menu was amazing, both in taste and presentation. We will be returning!If I had to make a criticism, the only thing I would have changed is that when ordering a bottle of red wine, we would have preferred to have larger glasses!

The only common point with cuisine nouvelle is the quantity and the price. The food is just fine and the service is rather slow (one hour wait and we were the only customers). AVOID!Fortunately there is a Tesco in the street in case you are still hungry.

Went to eat in this pub , no food available, went over the road to the Brambletye, thank god as the chef from the chequers was drinking at the bar. Would you let a man cook for you after downing 5-6 pints? NO Is the answer, lets hope he doesn't get in a car after , never will I return , you should be ashamed of yourself, and if he does get in a car I hope the police are waiting , how irresponsible and dangerous

Standing outside the pub after parking I felt a warm fuzzy feeling come over me, this (I thought) would be a WONDERFUL PUBSadly, it wasn't :-(£5 Mulled Wine 175ml (not the usual 250ml) - acrid flavour, unappetising appearance and not strained (so left with lumps of star anise, orange pith and cloves in the mouth)Real ales sampled:Sussex Best Bitter ABV 4.0% - First pint seemed to look/taste ok (no complaints)Second pint seemed cloudy (for some reason?) returned to barmaid who changed it for a:Harvey Christmas Ale ABV 7.5% - (less cloudy than the first - but not 'right')I drank as much as I didn't want to return a second pint.This pub COULD BE SPLENDID but serious attention needs to be paid to toilets, decor, bar area and beer quality/range. After 20 years in the industry I could turn this place round in 12 months into a absolutely cracking hotel/bar/gastro pub but will await invitation/salary.

I'll be honest, we came in here because everywhere else was full, but we were really pleased we gave it a try.I think there might be a new chef or something - but the food was wonderful and not at all what we had expected from the outside. The staff were all really friendly and even a mix up with our card couldn't spoil the evening (advice to chequers - sort out your tab system). The inside could probably do with some work and a bit of a spruce up, but it's an old building so there's probably only so much you can do. I hope more people give it a chance and try their new menu as we were very plesantly surprised.

I have visited this pub for drinks many times but have not eaten there so can not comment on the food. The drinks are over priced, being more expensive than the other pubs in the village. However the atmosphere is nice and friendly, and the bar staff always greet you with a smile and are very polite.

Visited with friends. Service slow. Waitress moody and rude, did not smile and rude to all customers. Food over priced. Portion of chips (9) chips overpriced at over £3.00Vinegar in a dirty bottle. Pepper and salt believe it or not dirtier! Ladies very dirty and broken basin. Men's untidy and urinal blocked. Overall would not return!

As a pub it is nice, but we visited last Saturday afternoon for a quick sandwich. The brown bread cheese sandwiches were dry, poor and cost £6 each. I had a cheese baguette and was shocked to receive one of those cheap baguettes you get from a supermarket that you warm up when you want to use it. These cost about 40p for two. I paid £6 for one with a little grated cheese and a bit of rocket at the side. Wish I had gone to Greggs instead!

Overpriced basic food!! Paid £3.50 for a portion of chips, well 12 chips actually! Baguette appeared to be cheap packeted meat, not 'roast' turkey as described on the menu. Poor customer service and a rip off !!
