Rose and Crown in Kirklees

Usually a great venue. Unfortunately today a total disaster. Booked online Monday for a Thursday lunch. No email confirmation so rang Tuesday and no they did not have my booking. Therefore booked over the phone for 7 @12.30 for lunch. Not told when we arrived there would be a delay, finally we all got food at 2.00pm. One meal sent back because cold, vegetables arrived after we had eaten half the meal. No apologies whatsoever! Food okay but won't be back for a while until staff situation is sorted.

Our family get together was perfect. A great welcome, thoughtful and kind service, and really excellent food. We all enjoyed our reunion thanks to you. We appreciated our time with you. We shall be back!

Went for a family meal and whilst the 2 staff were pleasant and apologetic, the food was pretty awful and the overall dining experience really, really poor. From arriving at the pub, to eventually receiving our main courses, nearly 2 hours had passed. The food was not as described and poorly cooked. Many other customers were complaining too. I really want to support local pubs and see them thrive, so I am often generous in my feedback as a result, however the Rose & Crown needs a lot of work and attention. It may be worth replacing the kitchen staff completely, reducing the menu and really focussing on quality. We wish the owners well, but until some fundamental changes are made, I would only recommend people to go for a drink here, but eat elsewhere.

Came here on Sunday for late lunch. It was busy as usual but we were seated quickly and the waitress took our drinks order within minutes and told us what they had and didn’t have and by the time the drinks came we were ready to order. The waitresses were lovely and friendly. The food was excellent as always and great value. There was another table in the same room who complained about everything- not sure what their issue was - complained they had to go to the bar to order drinks after waiting 30 seconds 🤷🏼‍♀️ We waited 20 minutes for our mains which is to be expected unless you’re at Toby Carvery ! Excellent as always will be back !!

**Review for The Rose and Crown** I had a booking for 4 on a Sunday at The Rose and Crown, attending with my partner and our grandparents. We arrived for our 4 pm reservation and were seated in a dingy corner of the pub without being informed that we needed to order drinks at the bar. We eventually figured this out ourselves and got a few drinks, which was the only smooth part of our experience. Our starters, consisting of two soups and some garlic mushrooms, took over 45 minutes to arrive. While the mushrooms were great, the soup was disappointingly slushy. When it came to ordering our mains, we were advised that multiple items, including pies and any chips, were off the menu. We were told the available meats for the roast were lamb, beef, and pork. My partner opted for the lamb and beef but was told the lamb came on the bone and the beef would cost extra, pushing the price of the Sunday roast to around £20. Our mains arrived an hour and a half later, after we had to inquire about them since we had commitments to leave by 6 pm. My partner's Sunday roast consisted of just gravy, a Yorkshire pudding, a lamb shank, hardly any vegetables, and one roast potato — all for nearly £20, which is robbery. My grandmother’s braising steak was just a few pieces of beef. Frustrated, we decided we had enough and requested to leave, offering to pay only for our starters and drinks as we had not received all of our mains and the ones we did were terrible. The manager rudely demanded nearly £90, but after much back-and-forth, we ultimately only paid for our starters. During this, we could hear the staff discussing how they could force us to pay. As we were leaving, they stated we were barred, but thankfully we won’t be going back even if we had the choice. After talking to friends, we've learned they’ve had similar experiences with the staff. The overall experience was abysmal. The establishment is run down and charges top prices for subpar food and service. The manager avoided talking to us directly, and there were no check-ins throughout our meal. AVOID THIS PLACE. They only care about taking your money without providing the quality or service to justify the prices. The owner will probably try to respond to this review to prove us wrong, but review readers, please take my advice and don’t come here. You’d have a better experience at the Wetherspoons down the road.

Worst place ever! Appalling - waited 1 hour and 20 mins for some mains! Waited 30 mins for 2 soups! Questioned and asked when the food would be coming and said was being plated - waited another 15 mins! Absolutely horrendous - and they expected us to pay for it when we did not eat it. When it came the food wasn’t what I ordered and was incorrect - the braising steak had 2 pieces - worth £8.00! Had to go to the bar for drinks/ did not get any service. One of the waitresses smirking whilst we complained - the manager came back twice saying we needed to pay and declined - advised would pay for what we had. Ended up paying for what we had - and was advised to never go back. No problems! Rubbish food! Rubbish service! Rubbish beer. Had no Yorkshire puddings , no chips and also pies. Did not mention they could do fries with one of the meals when one of our family members were disappointed. Absolutely appalling - hope it closes down and the staff absolutely need to wipe off their smirky faces! Young girls being paid peanuts and not able to handle a difficult conversation. Hahah worst Sunday ever

Be warned. You need to visit this fantastic pub when you're extremely hungry. This pub was recommended to me by multiple people so we just had to try for ourselves. Talk about exceeding all expectations! Lovely warm welcome from Richard today and shown to our table. Very homely feel to the place with a relaxed atmosphere. Ordered our food and when starters arrived I was immediately worried (in a fun way) they were huge! and very tasty. Then came the mains...... Absolutely fantastic! But could any of us finish our meals....... Nope! As amazing as the meals were we Richard boxed the rest up for us to take home. Seriously everything was spot on to the point we've actually cancelled future bookings elsewhere to come back here and also for a special birthday. Has a good sized function room for private parties too if required which looked really good! Definitely give the Rose and Crown a try. You'll definitely return!

We went for lunch on Sunday. Friendly service and very tasty food. I had the steak and Ale pie which I thoroughly enjoyed. I would definitely make a return visit.

Not the best pic cos I’d started eating but the The Rose and Crown in cleckheaton gorgeous with roast beef Sunday dinner and that was only a small plate! Creamy mash and tasty meat and perfectly cooked veg my husband had lambs liver in giant Yorkshire which was delicious the staff are so friendly and it’s lovely and cosy x

We visited the Rose and Crown for lunch today after it was recommended for the fantastic food … and we were not disappointed! A warm welcome, great service and excellent food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended.

Super traditional British pub with the addition of amazing food / choice … you would not normally find this quality in a small town . Insist you give it a try , you will not be disappointed.

Extensive varied menu which would indicate a good chef and we weren't disappointed. The food was restaurant quality, superb. I had slow roasted belly pork which was melt in the mouth with crispy crackling, perfect. Waitress friendly and amenable. We came with our whippet as the pub reviews said dog friendly and they certainly were, we were made to feel very welcome, an excellent experience

Booked for Sunday lunch as a central point for family to meet up based on good reviews on Trip Advisor - what a let down! The beef was tough as old boots, lumpy mashed potatoes, semi cooked old vegetables, no serving spoons and no attention from staff. Its a pub that does Sunday Lunch so has little turnover of food and seemingly uses up old food so nothing was fresh - don't bother!

Beautiful food and lovely staff, recommended the braising steak it's out of this world. Real ales available.

If your in Cleckheaton this is the place to eat !! Portions are more than enough the staff are polite and 😊👍

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was good, and they have vegetarian options. Occasional music events. We will return.

Excellent choice of foo. I wanted to try all the specials! I opted for duck, garlic potatoes, pak Choi and plum sauce. My husband had Bbq ribs with chips, coleslaw and salad. Everything was delicious and a good sized portion. Very dog friendly and super service. Two pints and all for less than £40

Brilliant food, homemade meat and potatoe pie and mushy peas with chips too. Pre ordered for 30 ish hungry walkers! Food was just ready as we arrived, footy was on too. Staff were great, very helpful on the bar too. 😊

Mediocre food spoilt by the smell of a man smoking a tobacco electroic cigarette, won't be coming back.!

Great pkace to eat. Food was excellent hot home cooked meals. Our first visit. Will definitely go again. Staff very friendly and welcoming.

My husband and I ate at The Rose and Crown pub last night, it was cosy and welcoming with its wood burning stoves which was much appreciated on such a cold night. We received great service and my large Yorkshire pudding filled with braising steak, mash and vegetables was so tasty and great value for money. I highly recommend a visit.

Just been to this place for our wedding anniversary evening meal , all I can say is the food is out of this world !!! , the pub it self is friendly and homely just what a town needs . If you are going through Cleckheaton in Yorkshire give this place a try you wnt regret it .

Accommodated 2 adults and 5 children after trying to book 10 other places and so glad we got in the staff were lovely and the Sunday dinner was to die for gorgeous tender beef perfectly cooked veg and tasty gravy would highly recommend and will definitely be going again

Not sure I need to say much. Look at the picture. Amazing food, great staff and service. The Rose is a lovely local pub that just happens to create fantastic dishes. Good choice of drinks too. Go enjoy the atmosphere and ambiance, but go hungry and try the food. Nice covered beer garden and plenty of parking in the vicinity.

We have enjoyed meals both in-house and takeaways; proper chips with the skins on, and goujons that were grease-free.

This place had been recommended by friends. The service was poor. My friend asked for cutlery they took it from another person on our table. Hairs found in one of the starters, complained to waitress to be given a dirty look, it was eventually changed. Fries that came with the burger were under cooked and rock hard, drinking glasses absolutely filthy and soft drinks flat...avoid this place is my advice!

We went here especially for a roast on the Sunday and we weren’t disappointed. The size of the portion was generous and everything was very tasty. I was surprised to see we only had one roast potato and that was about the entire range of roasted veggies. We had mash instead, which was very nice. The price was very reasonable as well. The table service has room for improvement, but we enjoyed out time there. I would recommend.

Had a great meal. Just as good as before lockdown.They have taken covid precautions seriously. Tables were cleaned down and disinfected between use. Table service only. Hand sanitizer throughout the pub.If your worried about safety Rose and Crown is the pub to go too. Couldnt fault them.

Great choice menu and delivery too! We opted for collection and chose a large Steak & Ale pie and a small Belly Pork.The steak was lean and plentiful, the big fat roast potato esque chips were gorgeous, chunky carrots, green beans and cabbage topped of a great meal.Two pieces of tasty belly pork, buttery salted mash with carrots, green beans and cabbage were all delicious.Both came with super dark, thick, tasty gravy. The large was notably bigger than the small (and not just veg). It was piping hot and all well presented in a carton with separate sections.My compliments to the chef.Highly recommended and a change from the usual take aways available at the moment.

Tired of Pizza and Chinese, we found a takeaway menu and ordered, it came in good time, well packaged and was lovely. Needed 2 mins in the microwave but was just as nice as having it there, only without the company and a nice hand pulled pint. Will be having it again, good varied menu.

Just had our first visit to this gem of a pub. The atmosphere is excellent and the staff friendly and helpful. The food was gorgeous and the portions sizeable. Really Sizeable! Would recommend to everybody and anybody! Great Pub! Great Beer! Great Food! Great Value!

Visited yesterday (Sat 11th Jan) for the first time, 4 of us, for a late lunch. We parked for free very handily in the car park round the corner from the pub. We sat in the restaurant which was rather cool, we should have asked for the wood burner to be lit. The decor is a bit dark & dated but there's fresh flowers on the tables which is a nice touch. We were the only ones in the restaurant at that time though the pub part was busy, the tables are quite close together so think it could be a bit squashy if busy. The menu was excellent, plenty of choice for everyone from light bites to full traditional meals as well as more exotic food. You have to order at the bar, the staff were very pleasant & obliging, my Mum only has a small appetite so asked if she could have a smaller pie, chips & veg, this was no problem. I ordered the normal size steak & ale pie, my son the "cock & bull" sizzling plate with rice! & my husband the belly pork. 3 of the meals came with triple fried chips, fresh vegetables & gravy. We had to wait about 40 minutes for our food but it was worth it when it came, massive, generous portions of very well cooked food, the meat in the pies was melt in the mouth tender, the belly pork crispy & tasty & the" cock & bull "full of flavour, red hot, sizzling strips of chicken and beef with peppers in a creamy mushroom sauce with rice. The chunky home made chips were excellent as was the veg, all in big portions, my Mum appreciated her mini meal too, there was plenty for her. All in all an excellent meal, we were totally stuffed ! Thank you, we will return though hopefully the room will be warmer next time.

I’ve been going to the rose many years now and it’s my all time favourite place, often alone as I don’t really like people... I’m always greeted warmly especially from the girl I think they call fellon. Always beaming from ear to ear. It’s such a lovely warm establishment. I have to order a pensioner size meal when I go and often take home in a lunchbox as it’s so large. My lunchbox is massive and there’s still ample to fill it!! Sometimes last 3 days. The landlord Alan is lovable and warm contrary to his physical appearance and the whole team always make you feel welcome. Even the lady helen who washes the dishes waves from her sink with her one hand that isn’t chained. Fantastic. The outside bar area is run by a lady called Sami, she’s a wealth of general knowledge and can often keep you entertained with with amazing facts along with the lovable Maisy who unfortunately is a die hard leeds fan and lovable rogue. All in all a solid 5 stars. A must visit.

We go here at least twice a week. All the food is home made and delicious. We have never had a had. Meal. The staff are really helpful and friendly too !

Found a lump of plastic in garlic mushrooms no apology from anybody. Typical dive with no morals still charged full price for starter. Im suprised they didnt charge for half of utensil found drowning in my dinner

Been a few times for food excellent massive portions Great prices not been for Sunday lunch but everybody I know that goes says it's great

Would highly recommend a visit here Sunday lunch as well as other choices 12-7pm paid £8.50 for a lamb dinner I will be going again

A local pub we have never been in but noticed they did meals, wow the best meal we've had in many a year, thank you. We will be back,

Myself and a friend visited on Bank Holiday Monday for lunch. We both had the Bangers and Mash. The food was freshly prepared, well presented and there was a good portion. The sausages were cooked just right, delicious mash and nice veg. Great gravy. The service was nice and friendly. The pub itself is nice and homely.

Everything you want from a good pub. Friendly service, a good selection of real ales and superb food. A real gem in Cleckheaton amongst many pubs in the town.

A choice of 5 local real ales at just £2.80 a pint. Great value and some really nice beers, though I understand they change regularly. Some are brewed on site.

Two couples, all well fed, this great value for money, good service, exceptional prices and wow more food than could be eaten. Good selection of real ales, very happy we will be back.

Nice Sunday Lunch, reasonable price, good portion. Young girl server was friendly but the blonde haired barmaid was miserable as sin. Shame because it spoiled the atmosphere.

Excellent as always can never fault here.good company and excellent food and staff.will visit more often when I am able highly recommend

Sunday tea. The atmosphere was a little odd, like the slaughtered lamb in an American werewolf in London perhaps. If you’ve seen the movie you’ll know what I mean. If you haven’t, it’s a place where you walk in and the pianist stops playing and everyone stops talking and looks around. I guess you have to be a local / regular to avoid that reception. Anyway, food was pretty good. Simple dishes, well executed. Value for money lets it down a little perhaps, hence my rating. Worth another visit perhaps, someday.

We called in for the first time last week to meet up with friends for drinks i found the pub very welcoming with friendly staff and an excellent choice of real ales. We will definitely be back.

Great food, lovely staff and the landlord is amazing. A friend who lives in Ireland worked there and it was kind of her to introduce us to all of her staff

We have eaten a few times at the Rose and Crown and have always enjoyed the food, which is freshly cooked and arrives piping hot. There is a good choice of meals and if you have room some very nice puddings.

I was in town with an hour to kill & hungry too. Heard folk go on about the mixed grill at this place & when it came I couldn’t believe the amount.steak was how I asked for it cooked.all quality cuts of meat.Everything cooked to perfection came piping hot & well presented.washed down with a couple of their own cask beers. Not for the light hearted. Wish I’d taken a pic now.

Always good honest food with great portion sizes and freshly cooked, the beer range is top notch, good gin support act as well!

Landlord is happy when money is being thrown about but on last orders changes to being miserable and rude. Would not recommend.

After reading a couple of reviews decided to give the Rose and Crown a go first impressions lovely cosy place old world features and very clean warm welcome on arrival staff are very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble even lit the wood burner for us as was a bit cold we ordered the Beef Baguette with chips and gravy from the specials board not for the faint hearted they were huge plenty of filling and melt in the mouth Beef we couldnt finish it all but only because we were so full very varied menu and a specials board after speaking to who i presumed to be the landlady she was very helpful in saying they would accommodate any requests we had regarding food re: portions for us so will definitely recommend to others and will be visiting again without doubt lovely people and food

Rubbish day at work so partner rung on his way home and said let’s go out for tea. We eat out quite regularly in the town and have had drinks at the Rose and crown but not eaten before. It wasn’t really busy upon arriving at just before 7pm. The menu is good and varied, home cooked pub grub!! If you eat before 7pm during the week 7 of the main meals are priced at £7. What’s not to like!!!! My partner had the fish and chips with mushy peas and myself the braised beef with mash and veg. The portions were large and well worth the money. A glass of rose and a pint on top and the bill came to £21. My partner would have preferred fries I think to the chunky chips which were like wedges but that’s just personal preference. Not really much atmosphere but no surprises with it being a Monday. Would definitely recommend if you’re after a cheap hearty tea.

Welcoming place, lovely staff and food was gorgeous.

Visited on 5th October. The food was fantastic. Really well cooked and very tasty. The portions were large but would much rather have too much of delicious food than too little. My husband had creamy garlic mushrooms on toast to start and I had prawn cocktail. It was more like prawn main course. Followed by very tasty pies, beef and ale for my husband and chicken and mushroom for me. All served with well cooked seasonal vegetables and the best chunky chips I have ever eaten.

Well again not let down fantastic Sunday lunch well,presented and great company to me best in Cleckheaton not only that but different cask beers many local well done Al we’ll be back as Schwarzenegger would say lol

We went to the Rose and Crown on Sunday 16th September 2018. My partner had Belly Pork which he said was fantastic. I had the Sunday lunch of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, creamy mash, carrots, cabbage and cauliflower with lovely gravy. I asked for lamb which was sold out but it was 6-30 in the evening. Fantastic place reasonable prices would definitely get the small plate next time as the large one was very large but great.

Great homemade British food. Great ales, lagers and gins. Great service. Great atmosphere. Amazing prices. Can't go wrong. Love it here.

A real old fashioned English pub with their own brewery attached. Food was great value but haven't yet tried their breakfasts. I understand they are enormous and for less than a fiver. Cannot recommend this highly enough.

Only ever drank here on an evening when it's quite busy, so didn't even realise when we visited during the day that they did food ,plus we were fortunate to have our pick of tables also. My hubby had the chicken Sunday dinner, I had braising steak with mash, cauli and carrots and our friends had the scampi and liver and onions. Clean plates all round, plus we had the smaller portions at £5 each (instead of the normal £8) which were more than adequate. We gave our compliments to the chef and will definately be visiting again :o)

We eat in this pub because the food is fantastic and the beer is also great, all home cooked, it may take a while for food to come BUT it’s worth the wait good prices too, try there breakfast it’s filling we visit regularly

My first time for a meal here my partner has visited a few times with family before so wanted me to try it I must say the menu was really good I was spoilt for choice I chose the braising steak in giant York’s pudding etc it was delicious the portions were very big so could not finish it but did well . Excellent value for money . Friendly atmosphere. Staff nice n helpful would definitely recommend rose n crown to anyone no complaints from us !!

Been today for Sunday lunch with my husband and had a fab meal - Yorkshire puddings to die for and hearty veg. Well worth a visit and we will definitely be back.

What a lovely pub. We were made to feel very welcome on our first visit.

My dozy burger was burnt on the out side and not cooked in the middle could not cut with my knife,onion rings not cooked in side the batter.My husband cauliflower was raw.We left more food than we ate.We were the only ones eating at 1.10 on a Friday lunch time I wonder why

I was at the Rose & Crown on 13 May 2018 with a group of friends, celebrating a wedding. The hosts, who were lovely and very attentive, very kindly let us have an area to ourselves and the buffet nibbles that they supplied were outstanding. Not only that, it is a sister pub of the Haworth Steam Brewery so their home distilled gins and unique tonics were for sale.

A group of 15 of us went to The Rose and Crown on 12.05.18 for a hen do. Sue and Al bent over backwards to accommodate us and provided a room and one of the best buffets (in terms of quality, variety and value) I've ever had - with massive thanks to Michael, who then finished his shift but stayed to provide table service. The communication beforehand and the execution on the day was awesome. Cannot recommend highly enough. The venue is lovely, the drinks are great (we made full use of the gin collection and Estrella on tap!!!!) and the service was fantastic. Thank you!

Very GOOD food excellent service especially from MICHAEL Will definitely come back parking easy just at rear of pub very good range of ales 5/5

Called in for lunch with friends as it's usually excellent service and food here. 4 of us had chicken & mushroom pie it came with veg n chips. Took alot longer than usual but no more people in, plates stone cold veg cold mash instead of chips after asking she brought up a big bowl of chips to share. But the chicken pies were so dry no amount of gravy for the others helped and I don't have gravy the chicken was so hardened or to the point of crumbling. The pastry was like concrete. I had the centre core of cabbage in mine so left it. I had a hot pudding which was perfect lovely and hot. There was a new girl in the kitchen so we heard so may so back.

the micro brewery on site provides a good range of ales plus guest ales lagers and ciders,they have a good menu with daily specials all at reasonable prices,the food is all well cooked and presented and very plentiful the staff are very welcoming and very attentive.all in all a good place to visit for food or just a drink

We called in Saturday evening. Nice interior, 3 rooms all well presented. Choice of real ales is superb as you would expect from a pub with an attached micro brewery. We didn't have anything to eat but my friend assures me that the food is very nice. I will try it another time.

When in for Sunday lunch. Please was very busy but managed to squeeze into a corner seat. Great kebab to start with and fab roast pork dinner. Real ale at £2.70 a pint that is brewed on the premises what more can you want for. Same we don't live nearer. Shall definitely be back.

A good range of beers and ciders. Very welcoming staff and hearty, well cooked food. Nice dining areas with comfortable seating.

Went with a friend to sample their Sunday menu. It was a bitterly cold day, so the friendly staff and welcoming warm interior from log fires, was well received. We'd reserved a table in advance, to ensure we got to eat, and I would advise this as the place did get quite full. As there is no apparent rush, ourselves and other diners ate at a steady pace in a really relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely fantastic meal the food was excellent and service etc was 100% we will be back for more good good and also excellent beer

A well renovated and re-conceived ex-T*t**y's pub, now with its own microbrewery, serving smashing meals (possibly a little inconsistent in quality depending who's cooking) available in varying quantities to suit your appetite. A respectable range of beers at reasonable prices, in a warm and cosy pub which is well worth visiting.again.

Really lovely food and drink at great prices why cook at home staff are friendly service was quick we come every week five stars.

I live locally and we've often nipped in for a pint. Always great to check out the new brews. Wuick, friendly service. They also have a fantastic range of gins. I also like the fact they setve soft drinks from cans and not the soda machine. Not eaten here but the specials board has some classic fayre.

Starting to really like this little pub. It has three small rooms, all of which have fires (though they are not on in Summer months). They brew their own rhubarb gin (so I believe) and it's lovely. The wines aren't too bad either. Guest ales are a regular here.

My favourite pub in Cleckheaton. The dog can never walk past without going in either. Great selection of real ales and some larger for the people with no taste. :-) The food is great too with large portions.

A very nice find off the town centre. This is a very comfortable, welcoming pub.

My mum and friends enjoy it they said very nice food and great staff very helpful to everyone Rose and crown pub cleckheaton West Yorkshire

this great old pub has a micro brewery in the old stables to the rear of the property ---great selection of beers and food served from 9 am--this is a must visit if you are in the area.

Went here on the off chance today and am glad we did. Friendly little pub that sell a great selection of beers and a tasty bar menu.staff were also very welcoming. Definitely worth a visit 👍🏻

Nice lunch at this pub restaurant. The Lamb parcel was tender served with veg, the Yorkshire pudding was hard and a bit burnt. My friend had the scampi. Enjoyable meal, good service and fair atmosphere. Good value would go again.

Been here a few times and I really like the place. There is a wide selection of real ales some of which are brewed on the premises. The food looks good not that I have tried it yet. Would recommend to anyone.

Just arrived back home from yet another excellent meal at the rose n crown. As other people have mentioned I can't rate this place high enough. Me and the Mrs eat out quite a lot and travel around a fair bit to try different pubs/restaurants. But to have this little gem on your doorstep is a brucie bonus. The quality and value for money is excellent. Staff are great. What more can I say except give it a whirl. You won't be disappointed.

Visited on Saturday with friends for lunch, the food was good, we were all very happy, nice atmosphere, perfect for lunchtime

Had a lovely lunch I had sizzling chicken others had scampi, liver and onions, lamb shank and fish and chips all fab meals. Bernadette served us with some banter and a great welcome Thank you

My family and I visited here to eat from the Christmas menu. It is a very quaint, cosy pub with a lovely courtyard that will be fab in summer.

Really nice old fashioned pub, does exactly what it says on the label. Traditional hand pulled ale, all very good quality, very reasonably priced. Friendly staff, went in for a couple, stayed all night.

For a CAMRA member this pub is areal gem. Superb choice of real ales, some of which are brewed on the premises and all at one price. This place easily rivals Wetherspoons. There is a good atmosphere and we have always found other people to talk to.

Well all I can say what a lovely warm friendly pub this is, staff ALL very friendly we called around 7pm ordered food which all homemade large portion was excellent

Food, environment and staff were great. Classic pub grub to high standards not a chain. Still got a lovely pub feel to it. Called in after a long weekend it was just what we needed.

Ribeye cooked to perfection enjoyed it very much loads on plate very good value for money,staff were brilliant as we can be very loud and we had just got back from a long weekend in Dublin. We shall be returning very soon

liv will say very nice as she.s the cook. went in with fam, no childs menu, no decent beer, sorry left and went else where

This pub has been open for hundred of years, was closed for a while and has been totally refurbished and now has its own micro-brewery. However, it seems most of the ales served are not their own, which is not necessary a bad thing. Often the beers are off which can be a bit annoying. The service is ok, but you get the feeling that if you're not local, they treat you differently, only warming to you when you've spent a bit on beer of show interest in food. Did make us feel a little uncomfortable to begin with. However, in the end the beers and food we ordered were great, very good value. They don't take bookings and is quite small so can be a problem if you just decide to call in on the off chance. Overall, a welcome addition to the town and offers a good opportunity for good quality, home cooked pub food locally.

Took the wife out for dinner, been before and the food was excellent last time, waited a good 5 mins to get the bar lady's attention as they were busy, when ordering the food was told there was quite a wait which was ok, wife got mushrooms for starters which she said were good, I got pate not too keen on this I've had better although there was plenty. Our mains were a while coming and my lamb shank was ok just not much taste, my wife's steak pie was brilliant she said. Great pub and the food is good although think I'd go back to the belly pork next time. When this pub opened it said there was no children allowed but this rule seems to have been relaxed as there were a couple of children in this day, ok the were sat still and well behaved but not the point is it 1 rule for 1. Will definitely go again as we've always liked the place

As per my other review, I used to visit 3-4 times per month..

Waitress and bar staff couldn't do enough for us, friendly and very helpful, food was to a very high standard, decent size portions with lots to choose from on the menu and also a specials board.
