reception v good and friendly. room was cleaned to a good standard.but seeing as it was a double room with 2 of us checked in i thought we should have had 2 chairs not 1.

The beer is excellent but the food is well below par. Even for "pub grub" ! I had the mixed grill and asked for a rare steak which I would describe as medium. The egg looked like it had been cooked at breakfast and was incredibly dry. At no point has anyone checked if my meal was OK and to get another drink I had to go to the bar! The barmaid was very friendly. I will not stop for breakfast in the morning based on tonight's egg! I will be saying herein 2 weeks and hope for a better experience.. However as a place to stay for the night the bedrooms are excellent with comfy beds and always clean. I have stayed before and must say that the food previously was good as was the service.

I can't believe all the 5 star reviews for this restaurant. Me & my 5 friends have just had a meal to celebrate 2 birthdays. 2 meals were sent back because they were cold. 3 carvery's were the worst we have ever had. The beef was not edible, it really was like rubber. We complained & was given 6 minuscule pieces of turkey, hardly made up for the beef. It didn't help that the knives were so blunt they wouldn't even cut the yorkshires. 2 other meals were acceptable. When we paid we had no apologies & were still charged full amount. Never ever again will they get our custom. Absolutely horrible, it spoilt our evening.

Only been a couple of times and latest visit had great customer service, polite and friendly staff. Food is good for price and only lost star as carvery Yorkshire was a bit too dry for my liking but for the price it's totally acceptable and I don't do many carveries because I find food dries out sitting under the heat too long. As to atmosphere it was a lunch time and not crazy busy but everyone seemed friendly and enjoying their meals so that's all positive. Definitely worth a visit and I will be back in future.

We walked in and waited for the front of house person to see us. We asked if there was space for 5? Had we booked was the answer and no we hadn’t. This was answered with a disgruntled I’ll have a look. A Table was found for which we were grateful. On queueing to be served there was only one person serving and a queue was beginning to form. Eventually the other server who was cleaning the bar served us. We ordered and the server clarified that all the meals were to come out together as opposed to a starter first and 2 children’s meals as mains. Unfortunately this did not happen and we had to ask for the children’s meals to be brought out as the nachos had gone through as a starter. I ordered an adult cheeseburger and was surprised and disappointed that it was literally an extra burger and more skinny fries, this for an extra £6. Our table wasn’t cleared while we were there and there was no interaction from the staff. It was our first visit and our last. A real disappointment!!!

We stayed away for around 6 months as the food had gone down hill it was cold when arrived at table the waitresses had a couldn't be bothered attitude but we decided to give it another try and ibhave to say a vast improvement resturant was busy food arrived in a timely manner was hot the waitress couldn't do enough bless her appeared to be short on the floor. My only critique is the gent that was on front of house and bar looked untidy and unkept wearing crocs and socks shirt hanging out I didn't think he was part of staff and a customer at first.

The food was great. We had carvery, which didn't disappoint. The waitress was a little slow at coming over to us to take our orders for dessert and to clear away the plates, but the atmosphere was brilliant. We booked for boxing day dinner whilst there, and they were incredibly understanding about our autistic son with sensory needs. They made accommodations to the menu to suit his needs, so we're now looking forward to a lovely family meal!

She then wiped a table without bothering to lift menus and sauces up to clean properly and then grunted that's your table. We had a carvery most of which was cold.

Visited Tuesday evening. The woman on front of house (topknot on her head and shaved at back) very rude and unwelcoming. We asked for a table and she barked at us to look down the other end or go outside. Wasn't told that it was bar service to order. I work in customer service and making an impression counts but she was just vile. Ordered burgers, wasn't told at point of ordering it came with a drink. So when we found out afterwards and asked if we could have it, we were refused. Considering we spent a fair amount, he could have thrown them in as this also stopped us from spending more money there. Burgers were overcooked and very dry. Will not be returning or recommending.

Initially disappointed because I had booked in person with a request for a party of eight to sit at a round table. On arrival it was clear that the table had "inadvertently" been given to another group. The waitress was clearly embarrassed and apologetic, but the manageress was blunt to the point of being rude, implying that the booking was only a request not an assurance of getting the table. Fortunately, the waiting staff were very pleasant and helpful and the food was value for money. I do think the overall look of the restaurant is now tired with the tables badly scratched and wobbly.

It's a nice enough place, came in for a drink (to join friends who were there already, eating). It didn't seem too busy but I just couldn't get served at the bar, a real shame. Just 1 gentleman bar person working very hard firefighting but it was hopeless, I gave up after waiting 15 minutes or so with no sign of him getting any nearer to serving me. I'm not a hospitality expert but if you're taking orders for food AND serving drinks at the bar, one person simply is not enough.

Stopped at the smugglers cove with family for dinner. Big regret. First impression was the staff seemed so miserable especially the man that took my order at the bar. Food arrived in a reasonable time to our outside table. I had a steak and ale pie with chips and peas. The pie can only be described as descusting the tiny amount of filling was dry and overcooked and the pastry was inedible, rock hard. The peas were the ok edible bit. Grandson had a carvery, again this was also overcooked and would go as far and say burnt. So if you like your food overcooked and inedible and a depressing environment then this could be the place to go. If you enjoy normal tasty food and a smile then don't.

We booked to come here for Sunday lunch with my husband's mum and dad. We have been to this restaurant many times before and th food is always nice but this time the was horrible. Me and my husband had the carvery and it was horrible. The roast potatoes was watery, soft and horrible. We complained to a manager, ( think he is the new General manager) my husband ask to have our meals changed which they did to something off the menu. That meal was OK. The new general manager was a bit over the top. We have been here many times in the past and always had a nice meal. The other manager with ginger hair is so lovely, so friendly, always goes out of his way to speak to us when he sees us, very nice man. I don't think we will be back again. We will go to The wick lodge in Jaywick Lane, fantastic food there and staff are so friendly. We would gone there today but they are redoing their kitchens. A disappointing meal

Thought we would try out this relatively new pub/restaurant. The pub serves the usual pub fare with the addition of a carvery. Met by a very freindly smiley waitress. Unfortunately we were seated at the furthest table from the carvery. I am disabled and it would be very difficult for me to walk to it. The waitress kindly offered to collect my roast for me, but my husband said he would carry my plate, but it was very hard to walk there and back to chose what I wanted. The carvery was very nice, crispy potatos, nice vegetables, the beef was tender but the turkey was very dry. My husband had scampi and chips which he thoroughly enjoyed. The only criticism I would make is, that it would be a good idea to try to seat people with disabilities nearer to the entrance and toilets. The restaurant is of a long narrow design with carvery and toilets at opposite end to the tables. We would definitely would visit this pub again for food and next time book a table to explain my needs.

Great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Whole place was spotlessly clean with imaginative decor. Staff were friendly and the place has a cool vibe , will be going back soon.
