Cross Keys in East Riding of Yorkshire

Lovely Sunday lunch at Cross Keys , Cowden today . We both had the Sunday Roast dinner which delicious and great value for money . Friendly , welcoming staff , would highly recommend

Very friendly staff we were made welcome as soon as we walked in we also had a Sunday Roast Very good so will be back again when we're in the area thank you George and Donna Thorold from Lincoln

Friendly polite staff .Comfortable seating with plenty of room.Good service and well cooked food.Best steak I've had for a very long time.

We booked a rental caravan behind the Cross Keys Pub at Cowden we called in the pub on Friday 5th for a drink or two whilst we were there we booked in for a Sunday lunch the roast was excellent and so was the desserts all the staff were all very friendly and helpful so we would like to say a big thank you and can't wait to call again when we're back in the area George and Donna Thorold from Lincoln

The pub is dog friendly the staff are great and so helpful, the food at this pub is great the best meals we have had in a long time, will recommend to all my friends. I had Cumberland sausage and mash I have not had Cumberland sausage like that in a long time.

Had a lovely lunch today. Me and my partner both had steak pie chips peas and gravy. Was delicious would definitely recommend!

What a lovely lunch at the Cross Keys I had the mixed grill absolutely spot on with nice chips my wife enjoyed the steak pie with a very generous filling and the children’s menu was great for my great grandson . Lovely spacious pub very clean and friendly. We will definitely be returning soon

Went for Sunday Lunch pub was very busy, the meal was one of the best I have ever tasted. Fhe roast beef perfectly cooked fresh vegetables (no tin operners here) perfect roast potatoes. And the yorkshire pud exceptional. The staff are amazing very friendly no waiting for drinks you order and it is bought to your table no messing about. Would I recommend absolutely

How lovely immaculate caravan and staff amazing still here and Thank You so enjoyed our stay will definitely come again

Superb little caravan site!!! Very clean with great vans!! As a base for enjoying East Yorkshire it's very, very handy!!!!

Great traditional food. Smaller menu but done very well as a result. I had the trio of sausage with garlic mash and seasonal vegetables. Honestly might be the best mash I’ve had. Lovely country pub, with as lovely staff and good food. Worth a visit and we will definitely be back!

I would love to give this site 5 stars and I can see why others do. Spotlessly clean caravan, beautiful countryside. However, no matter how much you spin it, if you are staying onsite there is nearly nothing to do for kids or adults for that matter. A small play park and tiny soft play area and pool table in the events lounge just don't cut it. Indeed, went there twice with my grandchildren and all the kids in this area were bored out of their minds fixated on their phones or arguing. I blame the parents for dumping them. On site café only open Friday to Monday. Erm why??Staff in the Cross Keys helpful but food average or below. Also the food takes light years to get served. Shame that my first inclination was five stars and that I was looking what statics were for sale. Not for me I am afraid. Now a 3

Went for Sunday lunch today. The food was beautiful and fresh and a good variety. Unfortunately the big let down was cold plates which as we were served was obvious as no protection was needed. Needless to say this lovely lunch was cold before I had finished and the occasion was spoilt. Such a shame that something easily sorted could make a big difference.

Probably the best Sunday lunch available in Hornsea/Mappleton/Cowden. Excellent Turkey, fresh Vegetables and good value. Not huge portions but £12.95 for two courses makes it good value. Cannt fault it.

We are staying on the caravan site behind the pub at number 3 and from our caravan it is 50.steps to the front door of the pub and we've been in there for five nights and the quality of the food in there is absolutely unbelievable you cannot fault it you do not get pubs that offer home cooking like this anywhere loved it so much would return

We’ve visited this pub a few times while staying at the caravan. This is probably one of the best pubs for great food, a hidden gem really. Couldn’t recommend the food and staff enough.

We were staying on the caravan park behind the pub literally 43 steps away which my husband loved so we decided to give the Sunday lunch a try. We did book in for it in case we couldn't get a table. The food a service was amazing and the price was great. We were so happy that we went because the food was so tasty i just wished i had room for the pudding.

After booking a half term family holiday through Hoseasons the kids were really looking forward to their first holiday this year due to Covid 19 and lockdown. We arrived quite late on a Friday at 8pm after driving there straight after work and went to the main Cowden holiday park reception but it was closed, I was then told by the bar staff at the holiday park pub to go to the cross keys pub down the road to collect keys for the caravan from there. I collected the keys from the pub and was then told that the caravan was sited behind the cross keys pub with several other caravans, which I thought was odd as we had booked to stay at Cowden holiday park which this didn’t really seem to be part of. On entering the caravan (no 10) the holiday started to get a lot worse!! Everything in the caravan was either sticky or dirty and the carpet to the living area was half missing! (See picture). The Sofa to the living area was well worn and also felt sticky and smelled really bad!! As it was getting late by this point and travelling some way to get there we decided to clean the caravan surfaces with anti bacterial spray and try to sort it out with reception in the morning. We went to the main reception in the morning at Cowden holiday park and told the receptionist about the situation and was told there were no more available caravans due to half term break and the only option would be to get a refund, which we ended up taking! Not only did this leave my children upset and without a holiday that they had been looking forward to, but to let a family with children stay in a dirty caravan during Covid Pandemic peak times and to have not even attempted to clean the surfaces, you people should be ashamed of yourself!! Absolutely pathetic standards!! To be honest I wouldn’t have let a dog stay in this caravan!!

We have had fabulous breaks at the short stay lets at the Cross Keys, Cowden Holiday Park, fabulous caravans, very clean, welcome pack, brilliant. Always booked via Hoseasons, never again, out of pocket because they will not refund for our failed holiday this Easter, offered voucher which we cannot practically use. Want our cash back. Absolutely no fault of the park or Cross Keys. Will see you again somehow, but never again via Hoseasons.

Four of us for Sunday lunch - food was actually very good for a ‘pub’ , service was almost non existent -very slow and disorganised . The vegetables seemed to be fresh but very small portions - the desserts appeared to be home made. So, compared to most local offerings this was really good and we will return . The service does need to be improved.

Tried here for our evening meal and found it to be excellent both for the quality of the food served & Value for Money! The portion sizes are enormous and everything is fresh. I ordered the Steak Pie and the meat was lovely & tender with not a hint of fat or gristle in sight

Had the roast dinner last Sunday.. Was awfully disappointed after driving from Bridlington on holiday to try the inn after a lovely walk on a nearby beach. Tough beef with undercooked vegetables. Slow service. BE WARY despite reviews!

Lovely Pub next to Cowden holiday park ,tables outside the front to catch the sun.Good beer (choice of two ales) and food very good value and generous portions.

Been on cowden 2 years never been to this pub had the 2 course Sunday meal excellent all round perfectly cooked food nice staff highly recommend this place.

Came here for tea this evening, Birthday meal for my partner. Partner had scampi and chips, portions ridiculously small, handful of hard chips, looked like the end of a potato, scampi coating hard, when he cut into the scampi water came out! I had vegetarian sizzler rice n chips, very small portion of rice, half a dozen hard chips! Waste of £25 should have stayed with my instincts and gone to our fave pub at Ellerby!

Came here on holiday was meant to be staying at cowden holiday park, but we was placed in the cross keys behind so not on the park we have an 73 years old with disabilities and is expected to walk to the club house, I payed £195 to stay at cowden holiday park not the cross keys it is totally unacceptable and false advertising never to stay here ever again

The slow service was diabolical. We just got fed up of waiting for our starter which took around 45 minutes. The portions when they finally arrived were very small and not worth the price that was charged. The main course, again, when it finally arrived was very nice. But a couple on the next table to us sent their main course back twice as being uncooked and just about raw, and the lady finally walked out disgusted and just left her meal. All in all a very bad experience and we vowed not to return there again.

This holiday park is just lovely. Caravan is ultra clean and has everything you need. No need to bring, or pay extra for, bedding as its included. Lovely welcome pack of essential food, drink and toiletries. We were next to the pub, so not on the park as such, but it was quiet and just a quick walk to the park if we wanted to access it. Lovely beaches within 20 miles. Bridlington was great and has a dog friendly part which was ace. Book this holiday park, you won't regret it.

Stayed in the caravans behind the pub for a weekend break. Sat outside the pub for a nice drink in the sunshine, the land lady came out to speak to us and apologised that our dog couldn’t go in the pub which was no probs but a lovely gesture. Went back in the evening without dog and had a lovely meal everyone friendly. Next night we did the same again a nice meal all freshly cooked at reasonable prices. Later on the young girl put BT Sports on for us in the small bar where we watched boxing and played darts. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Called in again for a Sunday lunch. Usually book a table but called in on spec and they were able to find us a table.

Stumbled across this lovely Pub which is adjacent to a Caravan Park of the same name. On our way back to Hornsea from Burton Constable Hall. This is a traditional country pub of a high standard. There is ample parking to the front of the pub.

just had a short break had two meals friday chicken tikka masala rice nan chips sunday roast beef dinner both excellent would go again great pint john smiths nice staff

Just had Sunday lunch at this pub. Excellent meal in a nice friendly environment. If they maintain this high standard we will keep on returning. Will recommend to our friends.

I enjoyed the food the chips were fab. Both the woman and the man working seemed really friendly and nice.

we went to the cross keys for the first time this year and heard it had changed hands - few things have changed - the service is still very good and the food is very tasty and at great prices - my only criticism is that they now pile everything on your plate - before you got the meat and Yorkshire and potatoes with the veg on the side so you could see what was on your plate. you cant fault the helpings but it can look challenging before you tuck in

Lovely cosy pub with great food. No longer allows dogs which is a shame 😟 as we were attracted to Cowden Holiday Park for that reason. Doesn’t detract from the warm atmosphere and friendly staff and locals. Would have been a 5 otherwise.

Been here for Sunday lunch more than once and have never been disappointed. Kids portions are great, plenty of food for the adults and puddings which always go down well. Nothing fancy, just tasty good food and really good price.

Have just had a long weekend in the caravans at the back of the pub. Ate in here Friday night ans Sunday teatime both occasions the food was excellent. They provided a children's Sunday roast for my mother who has a small appetite she really enjoyed it. The staff are very friendly and welcoming will definitely visit again

This was recomende to us whilst in Hornsea,It was a 15 minute drive,Six of us walked in,only one in the place.Ordered a drink and sat at tableWe ordered our food from a fairly extensive menu.

We decided to try here as we live locally and people had said about their good experiences it was fairly quiet when we arrived and could choose from a whole selection of tables we had a look at the menu and decided on 3 course meal we had garlic mushrooms which was more like a soup with so much sauce (not a complaint I loved the fact it was like that!) and a warn bread roll shortly after finishing, our main courses arrived a Sunday roast with homemade yorkies 2 types of potatoes and 4 different veg we asked for sauces to accompany the meat and the delivered the portion sizes are amazing for the price and I'm still struggling to move now I would certainly recommend eating here if you like large portions and home cooked food. We will be coming again

Visited this place when passing through to go to Hornsea. Really glad we stopped here, service was friendly and quick,...

We were staying in the holiday park and had tea here twice. The staff were lovely and didn't mind my...

Que realmente queremos este lugar para darse cuenta de su potencial como tenemos una caravana a poca distancia. Sin embargo, simplemente no logran entregar las mercancías constantemente. Reservamos con antelación y estaban deseando un poco de lujo después de los esfuerzos semanales en calzados dietas,...

Después de pasar 4 días en la costa de Yorkshire. . decidimos tomar un drive y parada de la comida. Después de llamar a otro pub que tenía el servicio de comida, cross keys fue sumamente recomendado, con un personal muy amable. Llegamos al destino...

Precioso lugar con comida deliciosa en un buen precio con grandes porciones. No puedo hacer más por ti y la comida es preciosa

Visitamos dos veces realmente disfrutamos de todas nuestras comidas, las dos veces que no había nadie más para comer, pero la primera vez que decidimos darle una oportunidad, ya que mi hijo de 11 años estaba hambriento! ! No me defraudó, mi hijo tenía un menú para niños que era abundante, si estamos en el área de nuevo que no dudaría en volver. La comida parecía ser caseras y el personal es de buena calidad, agradable

Comentarios leer después de un amigo en Google sonaba vale la pena una visita. Decía "sirve comida hasta las 21:00h "llegamos a las 8:20 pm sólo me dijeron que había dejado de servir, así que nos fuimos.

Called in while passing and wasn't disappointed. Food was hot, homemade chips were great and special request was catered for. Well done everyone at cross keys

We stayed in the smaller of the caravan parks which is to the rear of the pub and spent a Friday and Saturday night in the Keys. Yes the staff are friendly, yes the prices are reasonable, yes the food is quick but I honestly dont think there are suitable words to describe how good the home cooked chips are! Its honestly worth driving out of your way to sample them, amazing. This is a great pub, if your staying nearby then you'll be happy enough to spend the evening in here.

This place is brill!The food is fantastic. A great variety plus different specialities throughout the week. We went on Mother's Day which was also my dads 70th Birthday and it was busy but the service was still very efficient. A big thank you to Mark and all the staff for making it a great day for my parents! We will be back!!!

Was meeting friends for a drink but the TV was soo loud with football on we had to move to restaurant part as we couldn't hear ourselves.

I recently took a party of 30 people for a meal to the Cross Keys and i can only say how wonderful the experience was. We decided on a choice of 4 main cources , Steak Pie , Chicken Curry , Lasagne and Fish and Chips. The kitchen managed to bring out all 30 meals easily within 5 minutes, all were piping hot and freshly served. Everyone commented on how good their meals were and friendly and helpful the service was. I would recomend the Cross Keys to anyone wanting to book for a group of friends. The landlord was very accomodating and helpful when booking and gave fantastic value for money. I would also recoment the pub to anyone wanting a tasty well cooked and presented meal at a sensible price. One of the best meals i have had in some time .

We are fortunate enough to own a static on the Larkham Cowden site next to the pub and have had a family Sunday lunch there. Portions are good and the cauliflower chees was really tasty. Kids clears their plates as well. Will definitely use the pub in the future on our numerous visits to our second home.

We arrived late on a Friday, and had a lovely pet friendly caravan next door to the pub. As we were tired we had a few drinks and ordered our food (fish and chips) to take away. It was cooked perfectly, crispy batter, fresh fish and proper chips (not frozen). It came on proper plates covered in foil and we just had to take the plates back the next day. We had a lovely weeklong break and spent time in the pub and the bar on the main residential site, Cowden Holiday Park. Everyone was very friendly and the weather was kind. While my husband went fishing, my daughter and I were out and about. The town of Beverley is worth a mention, its only 40 min drive from the site and has a lovely selection of shops, cafe's and restaurants.

We booked a 4 night stay at the park. On arrival the reception staff were nice and friendly. (You check in at the main park next door) We had a pet friendly caravan which was very comfortable and clean. The park itself is behind the cross keys pub and we found it very quiet and private. A good base for visiting Hornsea, Beverley and Bridlington. I popped into the pub to buy a drink to take back from the caravan. Too handy! Impression of the pub was nice and cosy. A nice relaxing break and we will definitely be back!

Visited for a 'traditional' Sunday dinner. If your idea of traditional is processed precooked sliced beef and gammon you are in for a real treat. Said meat came swimming in gravy that I forgot to tell them that I didn't want (my fault). 3 fresh veg arrived separately which was nice, would have been better if there was twice as much though as between two it didn't fill a third of the plate. I am told that the Yorkshire puddings were good as my partner had both as I avoid gluten. Also cauliflour cheese was part of the meal which was tasty. Total price including a pint and glass of wine came to just under £25 which I think was expensive due to the lack of quality in the meat products. It actually looked like a slice of shoe leather and had similar qualities. Will try this pub again but not for a Sunday dinner. All the staff were attentive but not annoying.

Popped in for Fish and Chips which is the Friday Special on the menu. The meal was gorgeous, fresh chips and gorgeous fish with lush batter. The staff are always helpful and chatty and the price is Brill, thanks.

Holidayed at the small Dog friendly caravan park to the rear of the pub/restaurant so it was easy to make the decision to eat at the establishment several times. Especially after the first visit where the food was superb - liver and bacon and Mushroom stroganoff. The staff could not do enough for you. I thought could our second visit be as good - should not have questioned it- again superb, this time we had '3 hog' and Chicken sizzler. cannot wait to holiday their again. If it means going slightly out of your way to visit and eat their then do it you will not be disappointed. nb only open for lunches on Friday/sat/sunday

This review is of the Cross Keys Caravan Park rather than the pub itself. For some reason the caravan park isn't on tripadvisor in its own right.The caravan park is situated behind the pub, it's a small park of just 14 caravans, and is owned by Larkham Leisure, same as Cowden Holiday Park which is right next door and where you can access all their facilities. It's fair to say we found the Cross Keys caravan park to be absolutely brilliant. The caravan was spacious, modern and with good quality fixtures and fittings. It came equipped with everything we needed to enjoy a 'home from home'. We cooked each night and everything we needed was present. Each caravan has its own picnic table and grassed area (some bigger than others) where you can enjoy the outside space, especially when the sun is shining!The park is situated on a great part of the Yorkshire coast, with Hornsea nearby and Withernsea and Bridlington a little further. There's also a beach at Mappleton just up the road from the caravan park with a car park and loos.All in all we had a great time and hope to be back!

Was wondering if there were any nice pub around ere ..This is one great traditional homemade .lovely ...

can't understand why this establishment is not fuller. maybe its the time we have been sat afternoon, but we will be back in the near future.nice well kept and varied drinks, pleasant staff, and really good value food with big portions, home made chips, and onion rings and a couple of burgers, one beef one chicken breast, with coleslaw, salad,. bacon and cheese on a fresh bun.however there is a quite large selection of other dishes and accompaniments available.wouldn't hesitate to recommend.see you soon

Our friends booked a Sunday lunch here and we are glad they did! A really good, reasonably priced carvery was enjoyed by all. Nice meat, fresh veggies [no sigh of Auntie Bessies frozen stuff here!!] lovely cauliflower cheese, really nice Yorkshire pud, followed by a good sized desert. Good value, pleasant staff, we will certainly be back.

Had a four night break here the caravan was one of the best we have stayed in, very new, clean, comfortable, beautiful private area to sit out and enjoy the sunshine.Situated within close reach of beautiful Horns, & had a great day out at Bridlington. We had two very yummy meals at the bar/ restaurant which were reasonably priced.We really don't want to go home tomorrow

We have just returned from Cross Keys at Cowden Holiday park. It is a group of 13 new caravans in a pretty spot behind the Cross Keys bar and restaurant. Stayed in number six which was by far the best plot on the site. Sunny corner plot with large private garden area to one side with great views. No dogs allowed in this one. Number 9 is next best plot which I think takes dogs. Caravan was immaculate and beautifully furnished. Well equipped. Really comfy beds. Lovely towels and linen provided. Nice heavily lined curtains too for the bright mornings!! Hornsea and Bridlington near by are worth a visit. Useful little shop in the main caravan park. The Cross keys restaurant and bar itself is in need of refurbishment. The restaurant is dull and uninviting. We booked a table and when we arrived were handed menus and told to "sit where you like"(!!). We asked for water along with our wine and were given warm water with no ice. We heard the chef swearing loudly in the kitchen and whatever film he was watching was on at full volume. The waiting staff, although friendly enough, lacked enthusiasm. The food was actually really good however. The cross keys gourmet burger was excellent. Pity they ran out of steak pie on 'pie night' at 7.30. Handy that they also do take away.

We have just returned from a 5 day break at cross keys,prestige 2 caravan [no 9] quiet corner plot, very clean, the welcome pack was the best we have had in all the years we have dealt with hoseasons.Reception and cleaning staff are friendly and helpful shame we had to return home but we will be back.

We were driving along the coast looking for somewhere to stop for Sunday lunch and weren't having much luck as it was a funny time in the day! then we came across cross keys! which serves all day on a Sunday ,It's very popular as it has a caravan park behind it and was very busy but they managed to squeeze us in without a booking, the food was delicious one of the best Sunday dinners I've had! you can have a mixture of two meats, homemade yorkshire pudding , cauliflower cheese, stuffing, roasts, veg including a lovely cabbage with raisins , we had a pudding as well and we all had different puddings and they were all lovely , lots to choose from including loads of homemade options! we didn't have a starter but from what I could see they looked lovely as well! and the staff were all very welcoming and attentive , will deffo return! :)

Last minute decision to have a mid week break on the coast. We found the Caravan site behind the Cross Keys to have vacancies so this suited us better than the main larger site a short walk away. It was so quiet and peaceful and the Caravan and surrounding area was first class, home from home. Each night we used the pub for food, having take-always as we had 2 dogs with us. Every meal was superb a real credit to the chef and staff, a weekday special was available plus a great menu to go with it. We had fish and chips, gammon, steak pie, pork chops over the 4 nights, hard to choose best but fish and chips just win it!. Would love to have a trip back here.

Called for Sunday lunch on recommendation. Staff and service both excellent. Food was very good being made even more interesting by subtle variety of herbs. Certainly at the higher level of food experience. Excellent value for money.

I had the mixed grill and husband had beef stroganoff. Homemade chips too. Both were very good. The waitress was really friendly and happy. Pleasantly surprised.

Now that spring is here we are back to stay at the coast at weekends. We have visited the Cross Keys many times and experiences have varied. Much of the variation has depended on how busy they are and it must be difficult to predict this as it depends on school holidays, the weather and popularity of the resort.However, this visit was as good as any previous. Some refurbishment has taken place over the winter but it is basically the same welcoming environment. The menu could do with a little rethink but the "daily specials" represent a good choice and value for money.The wine list is good and we enjoyed "that Friday feeling" from the first taste of Pinot! Food arrived reasonably quickly and was beautifully presented. Well cooked, simple and most enjoyable! The staff are happy and smiley but very busy.We will be back and hope the standards are kept the same - even when the going gets tough!

Stayed in the luxury caravans behind the Cross Keys pub and went in there to eat on a Tuesday evening when it was pie night. The steak pie, veg and choice of potatoes, mash or chips was fabulous. The meat was tender and tasty and the deserts delicious. The staff are friendly and accommodating. Great little pub, a true treasure to find.

Popped in for some food not a planned visit but we were so glad we did. The food was excellent, very tasty and all cooked to order. Staff very friendly and welcoming. The pub is very clean and tidy. Well worth a visit

Have just stayed at the cross keys caravan park. We could not fault it. A quiet out of the way site with a lovely pub on site. We ate in the Cross Keys on two nights and couldn't fault it. Lovely food large portions and reasonably priced. The staff were really friendly. We had access to the facilities at Cowden holiday park but did not use them apart from going to the fabulous bonfire and firework display on the Saturday night. Perfect for a getaway from it all but within easy reach of all the coastal towns

Visited for lunch, with family, nice and clean inside, friendly helpful staff, the food was very nice and the portion size was huge, the price was reasonable, I would recommend and return here.

Have to say that surrounded by static caravans this pub doesn't look like it's worth a second glance BUT have to say do not be fooled as the food is absolutely fantastic.

Best Sunday roast dinner in the area and amazing desserts. So wonderful Yorkshire Puddings, never saw like that before. Definitely, we will be back soon.

Our meal was freshly cooked and the portions were more than adequate. The staff were very polite and cheery.

after a poor experience at a local holiday park this restaurant more than made up for or disappointment. We ate on three occasions at the pub and was looked after brilliantly. The food was A1 in fact there was so much tasty food, curry 1st chicken and leek pie and pasta on different nights, we could not find room for a sweet which I never normally miss. All home cooked, it did take a little while, but that was not a problem and well worth it. The staff were helpful cheery and attentive. First class. They also had offers on every evening.

situated a 10 min walk from the holiday cottage we were staying at Cowden in August we thought the pub was a good find , everything nice and clean ,friendly polite service luckily the weather was good as we had to sit outside because they don't let you take your dog in to any area of the pub .we tried the food I had a light bite prawn and cheese salad ,and my husband had a breakfast with chips it was very good ,had we been able to take our dog inside we would have dined there every evening the menu looked tempting 2 steaks and a bottle of wine 25.00,curry nigh t, chippy night ect. but it was a bit chilly to sit out at night .

We regularly visit the cross keys when we are in the area. We caught the light bite menu this time round that is served on an afternoon and was unsure if we would stay as we were pretty hungry but I'm glad we did to say they are smaller portions you still get more than you do at some other establishments well worth the trip as always well done keep up the good work

I visited here on Friday evening. My mum and dad have a caravan on the site so we decided to give it a go. We were not disappointed at all. On arrival you were greeted by the very friendly staff all of which were very hard working but still had time to chat and have a laugh. My mum and dad had the fish and chips ( 2 for £15) and i had the Horseshoe gammon. The fish were like whales in a very good home made batter. This was served with homemade chip and either mushy or garden peas. My gammon was massive with a good portion of chips, egg, onion rings and peas. Beut!!! Will definitely be returning. Plus the chef even had a smile for us.

We called for a drink tonight as we often do,very friendly staff,and all very clean,including toilets,we had take away fish and chips,it was huge.well cooked and very tasty,try if in the area ,does get busy so perhaps will have a short wait,but will be worth it

Very friendly & helpful staff, great home cooked food & great selection of drinks & real ales. We've visited many times & eating many meals from the menu & have never been disappointed. Some great meals on the specials board & Monday curry night is always good value @ 2 for £12

I am of an age where welcoming friendly staff and immaculately clean toilets are a great start. However when we went into the very tastefully decorated dining room and surveyed the menu we were blown away with the choice. I opted for the Hog Trio 3 locally sourced delicious sausages, a wedge of black pudding, 6oz gammon plus the most enormous and yummy home made onion rings, home made chips (to die for), free range egg and tomato. It was all of a fantastic quality and simply yummy. My partner opted for 12oz gammon(!) chips, peas, onion rings, free range egg (pineapple other option)and loved it. It is clearly popular and rightly so and is a must to visit. Prices are very reasonable, choice is varied and wide, the chef is clearly skilled and passionate about what he does and the staff are lovely and friendly. Go visit!!

Very nice and quiet place to eat. Good food and Service but over much food on the plate for older people to manage

We visited this establishment a couple of weeks ago after a recommendation from friends regarding the food and how good things were. On that visit, we enjoyed our meals, although my Veg Lasagne had me all “cheesed out” still to this day, with not a lot of tomato going on and a lot more cheese, but enjoyable none the less.On this occasion however, tonight was a very different story and won’t have us rushing back any time soon I’m saddened to say.I have happy memories of this place as I used to work here many moons ago under different ownership and enjoyed the ambience and the craic we were having with old friends who were drinking in the there. It was explained to us as they were quite busy that there would be a wait on the food for approximately 40 –45 minutes, to which we happily agreed as we weren’t rushing anywhere. After an hour and a half however, we were slightly annoyed and very much thinking of just paying for the drinks and saying no to the meal. When the meal eventually came, my Gammon had no egg and there was a hair wrapped around my new potatoes. After waiting so long, I wasn’t about to send the meal back, although I did take the hair to the bar and explained the situation. My partner’s Scampi on his Surf and Turf was overcooked and he said had a “Chlorine” taste to it, so didn’t eat it. I have to say that this time, the meal was not as nice as the last visit and when we went to pay the bill, at no point were we offered any sort of an apology. We weren’t even going to mention what had happened, but they did knock my Gammon off the bill which I did not expect or ask for, Just an apology would have been nice! I am passionate about Customer Service as this is my job in the same trade and I have to say, it was pretty poor tonight. Remember your Check backs ladies!On the plus side, The real ales seem to be kept well. The well informed chap who was there on out last visit on a Saturday night, was not there tonight and we cannot help but wonder if this had a bearing on the lack of Customer service?I have to add, this visit will not put us off, and no doubt ‘in time’ we may return, but we will not be rushing back which is a shame as it’s such a nice place to visit.
