First time visit today and we were not disappointed. Absolutely beautiful three meat roast dinner with cauliflower cheese side. Cooked to perfection and delicious. Large portions and piping hot with lovely homemade Yorkshire pudding. Sad to hear they are considering stopping serving food here, it’s a brilliant find and one that we would certainly return to.

First time here and we will be back. Popped in the bar for one first - very busy for 6.30pm on a Friday which was nice to see. The upstairs to Oswald’s where all four of us enjoyed our meals. Starters of calamari, panko prawns and shrimp taco. For mains two had filet steaks which were cooked to perfection, one had the steak and ale pie and I had the cod supreme. All really enjoyable and plenty of it. No room for dessert but had a coffee and left very satisfied.

This pub is honestly amazing. From the people, to the beer and the food you won't be disappointed. Their baguettes are out of this world and incredible value for money.

Booked for a birthday meal. Arrived early so had a drink downstairs at the bar. Big selection of guest beers. Small and cosy bar. Meal was amazing. Attentive and helpful waitress. For starters we had the olives, garlic bread and these amazing chorizo croquettes. For mains we had rump steak, rare - succulent and tasty throughout, perfectly done. Sides all freshly cooked with high quality ingredients. Son had the burger which went down well and partner had the chicken which again was well cooked and really tasty. Atmosphere was relaxing and the whole dining area decorated in a contemporary but tasteful way. Price reasonable. Waitress even emphasized that service charge was added to the bill but she could remove it if I wanted. Refreshingly open. Would definitely come back here.

We've had the steak here before and had high expectations as they have always been good, this time we (pre)ordered the Chateaubriand as we've never had this cut before. It was seared beautifully so the meat had a smokey exterior but was butter knife tender on the inner. I recommend this as a treat but there are plenty of other items to be enjoyed which are less indulgent and the Sunday menu is very good value too.

This place never stops giving. We have been working our way the the menu, but it keeps changing.🤪 Our last dish to taste was Seabass with smoked salmon and baby prawns in a creamy white wine sauce with garlic dauphinoise potatoes. This goes waaaaay beyond average pub food.

Have used the bar menu here many times and the food has always been excellent. Yesterday was the first time er have been disappointed. The chips were very overcooked. My husband had the steak and ale pie but the size of the pie was greatly reduced from the size it used to be. My daughter and I had the fish platter the only problem was the very overcooked chips so I left most of mine. I hope the restaurant reads this review and goes back to the excellent food it usually provides.

This restaurant changed its name to Grill31 earlier this year (same owners) and changed its focus to being a grill restaurant specialising in quality steaks. We went here for a family meal of 4 adults. We had the starter sharing platter for 4 which was excellent followed by various steaks each and we can safely say these were some of the best steaks that we had all had in a long time. There is nowhere else in the area that specialises in steaks so this was a really pleasant change to other local restaurants and a great idea by the owners to look for a gap in the local market. The service was excellent and whilst steaks are the cheapest items in the menu these were excellent value for money. The service was excellent and the choice of guest beers from the downstairs pub fantastic too. Would highly recommend this restaurant and we’ll definitely be returning.

We were at this restaurant last night. The food was reasonable and the service very good. For me it lacked atmosphere. The type of tables there, which had no cloths or mats made the place look more like a fast food cafeteria rather than a restaurant. I would have liked a table cloth or at least paper place mats.

This was our second outing since the restrictions were lifted on 17th May. I was very anxious but was reassured everything would be fine. Everything was better than fine! Our seating area was excellently laid out, avoiding other customers in too close a proximity and made me feel secure. The toilets had been redecorating and were lovely, including the ornamental animals which were just fab! I expected the food to be good but it was beautiful. We all commented on how lovely our meals were. Shepherds pie, Ox cheek, Steak and Ale Pie and Buttermilk Chicken Fillet.

Went for dinner as hadn’t been here for quite a while. It seems that nothing has changed. For a restaurant in a small town you’d think they would want to lift their game and provide a place with good service and great food. Neither hit the mark.

Visited this resturant tonight for a family meal. Starters were fine. We all ordered steak. One was not at all good and we complained and were not charged for it. However when we paid the bill this was split 2 ways and paid 1 half by card and the 2nd half was paid cash and the waitress took the cash and all seemed ok we thought but then she returned saying that the cash was short by 10 pounds. We are not impressed by the way we were treated and frankly this restaurant is overated and need to look at how they treat customers. Will not return.
