A cracking local pub, glad to see reopened and refreshed. Service is always cheery and pleasant, the staff happy to help and friendly. Food was tasty fresh cooked and well priced solid pub grub. Atmosphere feels like a jovial open local, feeling welcoming and open. A great venue to have in the area

Food was pretty decent but the service was great, very helpful staff with a good sense of humour for an evening out with persons on a holiday break. Sadly not a lot of atmosphere as just happened to be a quiet evening, but we enjoyed it thoroughly.

Arrived to have evening meal around 6:50 restaurant was empty bar one table and a few people outside.Placed order about 7:10 of two starters and two mains. Took nearly an hour to get starter then as eating it mains came out. I ordered a parmo which was meant to be with passata and Bechemal sauce.On tasting this it was clear the passata was just tomatoe puree and the chicken and sauce was dry with lumpy cheese.Did not enjoy.What looked liked the end of service some woman came out of the kitchen dressed like she was bar staff. When asked if food was ok I told them no and explained what was wrong .Told they were short staffed and one of the barmaids actually helped in the kitchen as there was no porter.Also said it was very busy it wasn’t a few tables outside and no one inside till another family came in near the end of our meal. No apology or anything I don’t think a chef cooked our meal at all . Very disappointing shame as it is local and have had a lovely meal before .

Heard good reports about the food being very good so decided to try it. We tried ringing to make sure it was open but was told the number was wrong but decided to go anyway unfortunately when we got there it was to be told the kitchen was closed so no food. Why this couldn’t have been put on the website. Very bad for business as we will think twice before trying again

Food is really nice, the lasagna is delicious, good portion and reasonably priced. Service is good, staff are really polite and attentive. The only thing I think spoils the place is some of the tables look shabby.

We visited here spontaneously one afternoon for a bite to eat and were not disappointed. Both me and my husband ordered a parmo each on the 2 for £20 offer which is available every Monday and Tuesday (also included Pizzas and Burgers). I had the porky parmo with pulled pork on top and my husband had the hot shot. It really did not disappoint the food was delicious and as I can’t eat much in one go, they were more than kind enough to box up the large portion for me to take home. Service by Chloe was great and she couldn’t have done more to ensure we had a great experience, she is a credit to the team. We will definitely be back!

Waited nearly an hour for my food. I felt rushed to eat it as the party of 8 I was with had finished theirs well before mine was served.

Was visiting the area so asked for a recommendation from a local friend. It was a great suggestion. Lovely little pub, nice atmosphere. I ordered braised ox cheeks, bubble & squeak, buttered greens and peas from the specials menu. Washed down with a brown ale, was perfect. Food was a nice size portion, good presentation and, perfectly seasoned. Recommend for a nice casual dining experience.

Absolutely cracking food and it comes out in a reasonable amount of time also. Portion sizes are excellent. Only marked down for service as it's a new team who are learning from the more experienced staff but they are very polite ,helpful and once settled they will only get better and become a good asset to an already good bar/restaurant.

Not great, ordered drinks and waited about 15 minutes though no one in? Then ordered food , waited another 40 minutes only to be brought wrong order , though 16 year old waitress was adamant it was correct , though eventually had to admit her mistake , didn’t eat it as was horrible . Went to pay and was charged for food I didn’t order or eat, questioned this and it was taken off my bill eventually , not a great visit , hopefully will improve over time ,

Some of our other family members, as well as Doreen and myself visited the Moulders this week for a pre Xchristmas knee's up xxx. Everything was fine with the drinks, the staff were very good but our food did not seem to be seasoned sufficiently. Now I'm not a Milly complilainy Mr bootens as a rule but my altruistic side compels me at this juncture to point this out. All cooking techniques were adhered to, hollandaise sauce was smooth both and had a sheen but there was no ting. The meat was good, portions were good, gravy fine, roast potatoes and mash bland, veg was good, good sprouts, crunchy enough and very tasty asparagus so well done there. Really, my only complaint is seasoning. Say it with me seasoning seasoning seasoning! I believe if you do this you will increase your chances of making more money. I would be very willing to come back, but with Pat this time, if you are willing to sharpen up your seasoning. And with that I bid you seasons greetings and Doreen, Pat and Mark, Roger Sue and Penny and I would love to wish you, all your family and friends, your colleagues customers and any pets a happy Christmas.

Visited here at the weekend after being recommended by a friend. As we say waiting for someone to take our order we noticed the music was quite loud. Another diner complained and they quickly turned it off. We placed our order, but it took ages before it was finally put on our table. We sat ages again waiting for someone to come and clear out played and ask if we wanted a sweet menu. All of the staff seemed to be in the bar area ! I finally went and asked if someone could take our order. I made sure that I got the bill at the same time that our sweet was delivered, as I didn't want to have to wait another thirty minutes to get someone's attention. The food was very nice, but the service was poor and spoiled the evening.

Used to come here all the time. The food was delicious especially the Sunday diners and puddings. Since it’s been took over it seems to be full of crowds of young boys/men in the garden area all the time. Right next to the children’s play area!!??? Which my 3 children loved to play on, unfortunately not any more. Was a lot of bad language aswell which is disappointing as it’s always been family friendly. This has been a huge put off for us.

A catch up of what we’d done and where’d we’d been during the school holidays was needed before getting back into the swing at school. Two of us chose the fish meal deal (would have been too expensive otherwise in our opinions), it was huge and white flaky fish. Meals and drinks were I think a bit overpriced in general but good quality, good service and an iconic building.
