Fox and Hounds in Northumberland

Shocking food, dry, overcooked hard burger overdone chips dry bun Friends Breakfast mushrooms black couldn’t cut through bacon

This spot is a place of pure class. If he is on shift, ask for Alistair Dunnett. That man has some of the greatest social skills known to man and genuinely will give you the best service ever.

Called in after walking from Wallsend and was tempted by the sausage casserole being advertised on the bar for £9.95. Well worth it as it was huge and came with either chips or mash plus peas and extra gravy. Service was prompt and courteous. It was an excellent meal.

Visited today for Sunday dinner after a lovely stroll along the Tyne. Was promptly seated upon arrival by a helpful and attentive member of staff who took our orders for food and drinks. When the food arrived we immediately knew we were in for a treat. I plumped for the belly pork and my boyfriend chose the beef. Both dishes arrived with roast and mashed potatoes, stuffing balls and a Yorkshire pudding. A separate dish of mixed vegetables and a jug of pan gravy arrived which was divine. We also ordered a separate dish of cauliflower cheese and when we asked for extra gravy it arrived within seconds. We eat out regularly for Sunday dinner and can honestly say this is up there with the best. Highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

After a long walk around the golf course we were ready for a hot meal. The "Seniors" menu meals at £7.50 were good value and delicious.

Having walked along the beautiful Newburn Riverside Park, we called into the Fox & Hounds for a meal. The food arrived promptly, and was excellent - a chicken and leek pie with home-made chips, and liver and bacon with mash. Everything was perfectly cooked, except the chips, which were a little overdone or had been left on a hot plate for too long, otherwise this would’ve been a five star review! There’s an extensive menu of good pub grub, with several daily specials. Recommended, especially after a long walk!

Best roast dinner we have had in a while, we are truly stuffed! Staff were polite and friendly. Food very reasonably priced. There was even some colouring activities for our little one to keep her occupied. Will definitely come back if we are in the area again

Popped in for dinner with a mate who was visiting. The staff were great and very friendly and the food was excellent, nothing fancy but top quality pub grub. Will defos be back

What a night. The food is unreal and the staff were under so much pressure. Prebooked as part of big group of 29 friends & the staff were spectacular. Food all came out in the space of 10 minutes. With a bit of juggling everyone was tucking in and a great night was had. Could not have been a better service. If you want a truly great experience try them out , you will not be disappointed.

I will start with the staff, excellent is all I can say. I visited alone on Friday and had a beautiful meal and lovely reception. On visiting the following day I was greeted like an old friend, although the restaurant was fully booked I was offered a later dining spot and yet again despite being full the food and staff were superb. Thanks I will highly recommend and will see you soon

Lovely themed menu with tasty, well presented food and friendly staff. Good value for money at £49 per couple for 3 courses including bottle of wine.

After looking at the menu for ligher options we ordered our lunch from the "senior citizens" menu (yes I do qualify). My son had pie and chips and I chose the burger (and "doubled up". The meals were delicious, really good chips.

Me & my sister paid a visit on Sunday 4th December decided to have Sunday lunch both opted for the beef dinner. You can have small regular or large we opted for the regular. What a delicious 😋 Sunday lunch lots of slices of beef lovely Yorkshire puddings 2 .various types of vegetables on. a separate bowl to put on what you wanted we were so full we left some of the veg so pleased we did not opt for a large portion.Would highly recommend this establishment a special thank you 🙏 to Jess Helen Charlie Tracy the chef and the young lad who served us sorry 😢 I forgot your names.A warm welcome when you arrive friendly customers & fantastic staff to the owners you are very privileged to have such dedicated staff thank you 🙏 ALL Brian & Ann 🥰👍

Popped into this pub on a recent family visit, we were pleasantly surprised as the food puts more expensive restaurants we visited on the trip to shame. The food is freshly prepared and it shows as very tasty; you can tell they care about the food they present. The staff are very friendly, well worth a stop if passing.

Me and the Mrs just walked in without booking a table so we were very lucky to sit down to one of best Sunday dinners in a long time. The guy behind the bar was very friendly and made us feel more than welcome, we had Beef and Turkey and they were spot on along with the veg and 2 huge yorkies. A couple of pints and it was £26 absolute bargain!!!!👍👍😉😉 We will be returning👍👍

We decided to have lunch at this restaurant as we had not been here before. We frequent cafe, pubs and restaurants in and around this area. The menu looked good but only listed mains as options apparently they have a sandwich menu at the bar but was never given to us when we asked for menus. I ordered Mince and dumplings with mash and vegetables. The mince and dumpling was very salty and I tried to eat it but could not, I had half of the dumpling half of the mince quarter of the mash. The girl behind the bar was very nice she asked how our food was and I explained about the salt. The chef was informed as was the owner/manager who was sitting at a table close by. The girl came back with an apology from the chef. When she removed our plates it was clear how much was left so when my partner went to pay I assumed they would have discounted the bill as good gesture. They did not take any off and we paid for 2 lunch meals over £19.00. I thought this was outranges when mine was hardly touched. My partner liked his and did tell them. We did not say anything more about the meal as I felt the ball was in their court. We will not return for any meal in the future as there are many restaurants in the area that are better and more price competitive, we may have considered if something had been done to acknowledge our complaint.

Massive roast dinner which was absolutely delicious, welcoming and friendly staff. Dog friendly with bonio’s on the bar! Amazing value for the roast - recommend the trio of meats!

Stayed for a week in Wylam, 1st meal out was at the Fox and Hounds. We ordered 5 meals, 3 were ok 2 were not good. The Cumberland sausage was dry and hard and the Lasagna was over cooked. The service was ok but the food was expensive for what it was.

The food was okay but massively let down by very poor service. It seems these days the front of house staff are just kids who don’t care. The food took ages to arrive Outside table was filthy The service was that of a teenager in...

Nice location and building but unfortunately very slow service for fairly expensive beer and underwhelming food. A crying shame as it has the potential to be an excellent pub

Their “battered cod” was actually some microwaved fish fingers which I found so hilarious. How you can charge £10 for fish fingers that aren’t even homemade is beyond me. I did however add an extra star because although the food was appalling, the laughs I...

Just had a takeaway Sunday lunch and WOW! Amazing food and it tasted so good! Thankyou so much and free desert with the takeaway what more can I say it! We will be back

just had a lovely Sunday lunch delivered from the fox and hounds . I would definitely recommend. I will be going to get 1 next week

I've recently had a few good meals in this pub. The rugby was on and a good choice of food was available all for only £5.95. I had spicy chicken fajita which came with salad, friends had the lasagne and Chinese chicken curry with were...

Fantastic home made Sunday Lunch at the Fox & Hounds. Beef is superb and the portions big! Highly recommended.......best in Wylam by far

We had been for a walk around the river and wanted to have a pub lunch. The menu had pub classics so just what we fancied. I had chicken, haggis and mushroom sauce with mash and mushy peas. The chicken was beautifully chargrilled, haggis tasty...

A lovely evening meal. Pub food served promptly and hot. Staff were very friendly. Would eat here again!

Another visit with my husband and friends, their first visit my second. The quality of the food was excellent, great value for money. Another big tick for the chef, your on our list of must dine pubs. Thank you from 4 very satisfied customers

Deze pub spreekt mij meer aan dan de pub bij het treinstation. Hier vond ik een gemixt publiek waar ook...

A very warm welcome on arrival filled by an excellent pint of Timothy Taylor’s Landlord before we were promptly seated out our table my partner went for a soup starter followed by the turkey dinner while I opted for the garlic mushrooms followed by a...

Beautifully presented food, good menu choices, great value for money. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff. The car park is small but plenty of parking down the road in the free car park.

I used to be a regular in this pub, however the entire atmosphere of the place has changed recently and I no longer feel welcome of comfortable.

We were visiting Wylam around lunchtime and were peckish so I suggested we called here as I'd eaten here before. The pub seems to be under new management since the last time I visited. We were served promptly by friendly staff and we all ordered...

Unsure if open but called on off chance. One of my better, much, decisions. Beautiful warm day so sat outside. Staff very welcoming and helpful and also greeted by the chef, who was only too pleased to discuss the menu with us. The cod and...

Went in to have lunch here 3 weeks ago with my sister. Lovely friendly pub who have just started doing food every day since new chef started, in fact the present management just took over less than a year ago.

A lovely walk from Newburn to Wylam and back with my partner with a nice bit of grub in between. We both had fish and chips complete with mushy peas for me and garden peas for my partner accompanied by a portion of onion rings. The meal was delicious with the batter on the fish fantastically crispy and full of flavour. With my partner being pregnant and craving some proper chips I was pleased when she announced that they had hit the spot. I had a Guinness which was a very good pint but a bit pricy compared to other places. Our doggo certainly enjoyed the samples of our lovely meal we gave her. We will be back at some point!

We went into this pub for a drink but were really disgusted at the treatment received. A member of our party was a minority ethnicity and when we entered the pub the landlord looked very uncomfortable upon seeing them. He then whispered something to the young lady on the bar who proceeded to serve us herself. We sat down with our drinks but continued to receive hostile glances from the gentleman behind the bar. Eventually he seemed to become so uncomfortable with the idea of a non-white person in the pub and went upstairs. We swiftly finished our drinks and left as I would not give any more custom to an establishment that makes anyone from a minority or marginalised group feel unwelcome.

Went for the gig, a great band & a great night but the choice of drinks was limited, the usual lager beers & spirits but no shooters cocktails or pitchers. I'mean told the food is good & the new management are top class.

Called here for drinks after a walk along the riverside. Friendly bartender & clientele, and good (albeit damp) sitting area outside.

Pleasantly busy on a Saturday night but served promptly by friendly and chatty staff. There seemed to be lots of locals as well which is always a good sign

Popped in hoping for some food. The guys were great and very accomodating - and did us a great tuna/cheese panini. The beer was very good too - marstons 61 deep. Good ambience and great landlord land lady - recommend.

Tuvimos un pinchazo en el camino a Wylam y la gente muy amablemente nos permitió mantener nuestras bicicletas dentro y nos proporcionó con un kit de reparación pinchazo!

Uno de 4 bares, pero no wylam mi primera elección. Es propiedad de la cervecería, así que la selección del grifo es de molino. El pub es bastante agradable, pero muestra su edad. Tiene deportes en la televisión.

Promedio pub local. Buena comida, pero no alucinante, no es muy caro. para visitar después de un largo caminar. perro están bien venga

Bar agradable pueblo muy agradable tomar algo por la tarde tenía una ventaja de levadura lo patatas ambiente relajante

El servicio es rápido, la gente es amable y la cerveza está bien cuidado. Además es impecable y hay periódicos de cortesía para ayudarle a leer un sed. ¿Qué más quieres de un local? De todos modos me gusta el lugar! !

Reservamos una mesa para 10 y fue introducido para la fecha equivocada. Cada comida era por debajo del estándar sin embargo dos personas comimos sólo suyo porque estaban hambrientos. Personal amable y se disculpó pero muchísimos sitios dónde una reunión familiar

Buena cocina saludable. Bueno y eficiente servicio. Personal amable. Ambiente relajado. Cuestionario el miércoles y equipos son muy acogedor para los recién llegados a participar.

Yo y cuatro amigos tenía la comida de Navidad el viernes 9 de diciembre la comida era absolutamente fabuloso cóctel de gambas era increíble. Comida de Turquía era sí sí sí Navidad pud con salsa de brandy fabuloso. No sólo eso, también dieron tartas, dulces, Misa del gallo después de 8 minutos. También fresas para nuestro proseco. Y algo para picar. Julie y nic son fabulosos anfitriones con un personal fantástico.

Nice friendly pub staff ... cosy pub .... food was pretty awful though... we waited quite a while for our food even though not a single other person was eating ( obvious warning sign) ... the hunters chicken had obviously been cooked the day before and the chicken reheated and the cheese was over powering , we actually felt a little sick after eating it .... the chips were very nice though... food is clearly an after thought here though so my feedback would be to stick to an all day breakfast and paninis

Traditional winter warming food, also reasonably priced and good portion size. Excellent atmosphere!

Cheap and friendly. Went on a Sunday so only food available is a Sunday dinner. Not ideal for people who don't like dinners. But for those who had food really enjoyed it even tho I thought the veg needed a little longer as it was really hard. But the food was nice apart from that and they even accommodated meat for sausages. Staff were totally fine. Nice place. Turned down a kids meal cos they ran out which is a bit of a joke so we had to finish quickly and go to the next pub. Next time a pint will be all I get

Popped in for a Sunday roast... Staff are amazing. Proper lovely country pub... definitely worth a visit! Walk from the Keelman pub have dinner and walk back!

Popped in for a drink on a quiet Sunday night, good choice of draught beers and lagers. Was nice, quiet, relaxing and the locals seemed to gather there and were happy to converse with me as I have recently moved to the village. Will be returning soon with family.

This place does everything a good country pub is supposed to. It serves very reasonably priced hot pub grub and cold, well-cared-for beers in ambient surroundings. The locals are friendly and the prices are excellent.

I was quite disappointed to see that that there is a couple of negative comments about this amazing pub.Myself, my husband and 2 boys had just been to a christening the day we came in, and we were very Hungry!I had an enormous beef dinner my husband and boys had a chicken dinner! For me the food was delicious but what I think what makes a Sunday roast is the gravy! It didn't disappoint.Large portions of veg which were cooked to perfection! We all cleared out plates.Thanks to nick and Julie, you both make that place extra special keepUp the good work.Special mention to rach. WE LOVE YOU!!!

Went into this lovely country pub righit opposite park wylam. no welcome off barmaid actually made us feel as though we'd interrupted her day!! When food was presented it was unedable! The baguettes which the surly barmaid tried to convince us was the way they came from the bakers!! Well I would sack the baker!!!They were uncooked almost doughy an when we complained the surly barmaid then said I'll refund you this time'!!!!We don't make a habit of ordering food for five people to Not eat it and send it back!!We had children with us!!We went away hungry an annoyed not a way to run a business!!!!!!

Went for lunch today with family barmaid was very miserable , we felt we were putting her out serving us. When food came it was disgusting ! We ordered tuna and cheese baguettes the baguettes were undercooked it was like eating flour appalling . We asked for a refund as we gave them back to the barmaid and she was very put out about it. I am not paying for rubbish food and appalling service. I will not be back again.

Called early evening for a well needed cool shandy Sat outside and enjoy the drinkGood service Good pricesGreat beerHandy location

Welcoming pub greeted by a very pleasant lady good food very clean and friendly almost like coming home

After hearing so many good remarks about their breakfasts, i decided to give them a try, after having dropped my son of at work. The place has very recently been refurbished with new carpets and been repainted giving it a much lighter and fresher look. I ordered the famous Fox full English breakfast with a cup of regular coffee.Waiting with anticipation, I was disappointed to see a plate full of baked beans with a very small rasher of bacon, a single sausage( which was the best bit) a small spoonful of overcooked mushrooms and a slice of black pudding.How can any one go wrong with an English breakfast?. Coffee was served black with no milk and none available.. price of £6.70 was about right for the quality..

I first tried this pub in 2015. So when I was in the area again I decided to call in for lunch again. They were just opening as I arrived. I ordered the fox burger and chips. I wasn't to be disappointed. Didn't have to wait long. The burger was juicy and tasty with lettuce and tomato. This came with a huge portion of chips which were beautiful. The staff were pleasant and asked if everything was ok with meal as they passed. Very happy with the meal and staff.Will be back again.

It has been awhile since I visited this pub and nothing has changed staff were excellent food was excellent and a good variety of real ales

Went here after reading good reviews but was really disappointed. I went for their fox burger thinking it would be special, named after the pub and my partner had the fish n chips. After waiting 35 mins and there were only two other couples waiting for food, the burger was in a breadbun with soggy lettuce and one piece of tomato and chips, no other embellishment. It was an inch thick and approx two inches across with absolutely no taste whatsoever. The fish was hard in places, totally inedible. Chips were bit greasy but ok. Definitely won't be back.

Contacted the fox and hounds in advance to book food for 13 men . Even though they normally stop serving food at 7, they waited until we arrived at 7.45. The hospitality was great, nothing was a problem. The portions were very generous. Everyone in the group enjoyed the food and the friendly ambience, we didn't feel the need to go elsewhere. We would definitely go back.

Came across this place on route to another pub.we're made so decline that we stayed for our lunch food very well presented. Had roast potatoes with beef bap a specialty heavenly

Called in as a half way stop on our walk from Newburn to Wylam along the beautiful Tyne...Its not the flashiest pub but its dog friendly and the Lady behind the bar was lovely and very helpful and accommodated our choice in food really well.We just had some sandwiches and chips but the chips are real proper...

Popped in during a cycle at the start of a lunchtime. Needed a coffee fix. I had missed the breakfast slot but the owner assured me they could find something. They did - probably the best bacon sandwich in Northumberland. I kid you not. Lots of bacon, perfectly cooked, beautiful fresh bread and a cup of proper coffee. and all for less than a fiver. having a look around it was clear that locals were in, mixing with travellers, dogs were in behaving themselves better than a lot of children I have seen in pubs and a quick check with two other cyclists proved the beer was very, very well kept. I'll pop back, but I shall come in a car next time and hopefully have someone to drive me home. Wonderful place, nipping clean and very inviting 11/10 - brilliant value too

Tried the food for the first-time today for a theme night. Absolutely lovely. Enjoy the place for a drink, but food is just as good, if not better! Highly recommend

I visited this pub for a couple of ales and food with a friend for his birthday. Very good selection of ales and excellent, friendly service from the bar maid. Will definitely visit again and recommend.

I visited this pub with three of my friends for a drink and a meal. The pub was well decorated and had a good selection of real ales.

We had an evening meal here and the food was acceptable, but in the final analysis it is just a pub and not a restaurant. For us the price was too high for the level of service provided and the environment. The prices are at a level I would expect to pay in a quality restaurant with more space, less noise and better service.

First visit for both of us.It's a traditional country pub, open layout, with arches through to the dining area.Waitress service for drinks and food. On Sunday only roasts are available, which was fine for us. Pork or beef, we both chose beef.Service was swift, two large plates of mash and roast potato several generous slices of roast beef and a Yorkshire pudding. There were two bowls of vegetables, peas, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli.generous portions of well cooked, fresh hot food.No room for dessert.

We normally pop in for a gorgeous Italian coffee here it's the best in Wylam With my two friends having birthdays in the same week we booked for a meal and asked for Prosecco with strawberries to drink. The Prosecco was well chilled and as well as strawberries in our glasses the chef gave us a plate of beautiful fresh strawberries as a starter to share. Our meal was beautifully cooked. We had different things but all had the salad which was fresh and delicious but the chips oh the chips were divine. Homemade and crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. We had strawberry ice cream with strawberries for dessert which was a birthday treat from the Fox. We enjoyed our meal enormously and the staff couldn't have been nicer

With my wife & daughter we had just travelled from Somerset & received a super meal (my wife has to have Gluten free food). Even let us look at a book of the local area while waiting for the meal.We all enjoyed and the cost was reasonable.

Called in after visiting George Stevensons cottage. Had potato skins for starter to share, best & biggest skins ever had. Wife had lasagne lovely meal, hot & delicious. The breakfast for the hungry finnished at lunchtime, waitress had a word with the cheff & said he would do 1 for me specially (many thanks) it was huge had to have a doggy bag - too much to eat - what a platefull WOW!!!. Drinks good & well priced, service great & friendly.Nice decor & friendly atmosphere. Called back the following day, wife had skins again for main course & chocolate fudge cake for desert, lovely. I had gammon lovely meal with great home made chips. WHY can't all pubs deliver this kind of service, quality & value for money, pity it's not around the corner from where we live, well done!!!

Stopped for a drink after 28 mile wash into Wylam, nice place , friendly customers, shame about the resident drunk and know all, get rid of him and try not too get a replacement.

Excellent service, We chose the 2 course menu, great choice of roast meats & desserts. The children's portions were generous compared with most other pub restaurants .The roast dinner was very tasty, the meat choice's were full of flavour, tender and cooked to perfection. Served with good selection of vegetables in separate dishes .A warm & friendly atmosphere plenty of room to accommodate our family of 7 of which 3 were children aged 7,5 & 2.The staff made sure all of our requests were met with smiles and they were extremely helpfull this is so important when dining with small children enabling us to feel totally relaxed throughout our meal .The wait was a little longer than we would have wished for, however as we did not have to book or wait to be seated this is not a criticism . We will definatly be returning.

Been here twice now for Sunday dinner and can honestly say it was bloody lovely.....the service is fantastic too, very friendly and very helpful, amazing value, will definitely be back asap

Great pub but the food lets it down...not bad but average Keep your eye out for the pictures of the Leek Competition on the wall and stay for the darts comp

Called in with a group of 5 people with 5 dogs, the pub and staff were very accommodating and the food was lovely. Will be calling back for sure

Food was lovely and great value for money friendly atmosphere and helpful bar staff will definitely be back soon

Visited for Sunday lunch with the family. The service is great, very welcoming and attentive. There is a limited menu on a Sunday which was no problem for us but may be for others. The bruschetta was nice although the toasted bread could do with being served warm. The portion size was good as was the potion size for the soup. The roast dinner was ok, nice enough but ive definitely had better. The beef in my opinion was too thinly sliced I prefer chunky pieces so it tastes fresh and juicy and the gravy was too bland. The veg was good and there was plenty of it. The apple crumble was definitely the saving grace, it was delicious as was the custard so I'd definitely recommend giving that a go! All in all a nice enough Sunday lunch at a good price, yes Id visit again!

We stopped in for lunch when cycling Hadrian's cycleway. It was just what we needed, comfortable, friendly, clean welcoming and very good quality, filling food with generous portions. A welcome treat.

It's the first time ive visited this pub and it was clean and spotless.There were a few locals in enjoying a lunchtime pint. The bar staff were helpful and friendly. I ordered the steak and ale pie with chips and peas. When it arrived it was larger than expected and truly delicious, the chips were done to perfection and slightly seasoned. There was even an extra jug of gravy brought with it. My only fault was the pie couldve done with a little more steak in it.The staff asked if everything was ok a couple of times,as they were passing. Which it definitely was. Overall a friendly, welcoming pub serving great food. Will definitely revisit another time.

After booking into the Blackbull at Wylam last minute for a two night stay we were wondering what to do for breakfast as the rooms were accommodation only . We need not have worried as the Fox and Hounds which is a short stroll down the road has been under new management since January and now opens for breakfast from 8am every morning. It is a very traditional village pub in its decor but roomy with beautifully laid out tables is immaculately clean and the new hosts offer a warm friendly welcome . The first day we had a pancake stack with crispy bacon and maple syrup and a Fox traditional breakfast. The portions were very generous and really delicious , offering great value for money. Free refills with the tea. The second day we had double sausage and egg muffins totally yummy! Nothing was too much trouble for the hosts and on both days we had a great relaxing start to the day. Highly recommended !

Called in for a bite to eat, hadn't been before. Lovely old fashioned pub, comfortable but no airs or graces. We ordered burgers from the friendly barman and they were delicious, so were the chips. The prices were extremely reasonable and the place was spotless. Would definitely go again and would not hesitate to recommend!

We had breakfast on every morning for 4 days and it was different on each one. The first morning was fine but then it went downhill and it's such a shame as we were given a warm welcome when we first arrived as our B& B that we had booked had closed down and they couldn't have been more helpful advising us where to stay

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here yesterday. Lots of well cooked vegetables and a nice nut roast. Staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back!

Went for lunch as recommended and the food was fantastic and great value. The staff were helpful, friendly and attentive and made it a pleasure to have lunch there. Well with a visit there. I will definitely be returning again.

At the end of a walk from Newburn along the river to Wylam tried a couple of pubs before landing on The Fox & Hounds. Very friendly welcome from the hosts, clean, tidy and well presented. Lovely atmosphere with a few locals and a really nice couple of pints. Will definitely be back and definitely the best one in Wylam!

Food was fantastic and such generous portions! The staff were welcoming, attentive and friendly making the pub a lovely place to be! Would recommend it to anyone and will be back again soon!

Visited here for lunch on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Food was delicious, the staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive and only five weeks under new management. Very impressed, will definitely be visiting again!

Called in tonight for our tea, two chicken curry and scampi... Very good quality food Lovely Friendly couple. Don't mind dogs either, supply water !! Will be back soon !!

Visited with mum in law yesterday for a quick meal. Absolutely delicious home cooked food, plenty of it and home made fries and huge sandwich for mum and good piece of rump lamb, tasty mint gravy with reasonable prices and helpful, friendly staff. Just what a local village pub should be:) well done and remember our cafe Teasy Does It for home baked brownies and custom decorated cakes for all occasions - thanks again

As there is no photos of the restaurant and reading the previous glowing reviews I had to check it is the right place I am reviewing... It is , I googled it I visited here in November with a friend and we stopped off for a meal A bad sign as we waited were the 3 complaints from the other customers dining there to which the waitress replied " I'll tell the chef" As we had already ordered (sirloin steak) we decided to take the risk I wish we had nt The steak was chewy the onion rings under cooked and the mushrooms swimming in grease When the waitress came over she simply asked if we had finished even though she could see we had hardly eaten anything She obviously did not want to deal with any more complaints We did nt feel welcome at all in fact I felt like the staff would rather be elsewhere and the few locals that were in the bar area looked at us as if we were aliens I would not recommend this place to anyone and will certainly not be back

Very friendly atmosphere and a typical English pub. Other patrons and staff were extremely friendly. Good drinks, good people, good prices.

thanks to all the staff for a amazing meal warm friendly service ! Great value for money with a prompt service especially considering everything was cooked fresh.Great can't wait to visit again thanks !

Had a fabulous Christmas meal, staff brilliant especially Mel will defiantly recommend to family and friends, will be back!!

This lovely little pub has recently been refurbished and now has new management and a new chef. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was lovely, hot, fresh and the homemade real chips really are very good !!! Vegetarian choices available as well as daily specials in addition to the main menu. Children eat for £1.50 if adult meal purchased during the week. Lovely park and river opposite the pub so well worth a visit. I have visited twice in the last week and will definitely return.
