Called in on Sunday for dinner on way to Southport Bar lady never spoke except to say how much order was, ordered two Sunday roast a chicken strips on bed of salad. On receiving the chicken I instantly noticed a slug climbing up the inside of the dish, I told the male server who said would you like me to remove it “I sad yes my partner not going to eat that if she sees it “ he just got a tissue and wiped it off the dish. No apology or offer to change. Safe to say we were all put off our meal and will not be returning.

I used to pop in here for when we went to Westhead Chippy. Today I went with my folks. What a great pub. Excellent beer and the home cooked food is proper Pub grub with locally sourced veg and meat. Also great for sport or just a quiet meal. Fantastic , friendly staff as well. What a good old English pub should be.

Excellent, this is what I call a pub. The cask ale is A1, not a lot of choice but what there is, is excellent, plus £6.60 for 2 pints of top quality beer when a pub around the corner is charging £8.80 for 2 pints of undrinkable. We will be back

Lovely pub lovely setting nice staff and a few nice cask beers. Plus dog friendly. Ordered 2 roasts must say not the best. I think the beef was stewing steak tasty though but veg was a let down. My wife had chicken which was dry and a tad tough! Roast pots had a taste of boiled and then dropped into a deep fat fryer on order and were a bit hard. The veg was very aldenti to the point of the parsnip being told about steam but never coming in contact. Plus carrot had an eye poor quality control. Plus it was the only carrot. Overall it was disappointing but we would visit again

What a brilliant pub. First time I've been in. Spacious car park. Traditional cosy warm rooms. Excellent choice of hand drawn cast conditioned beers. Oban 14 whisky, what a surprise for a pub to have such a special whisky, full bodied with a wonderful hint of smoke. Friendly locals at the bar, all having fun. Outstanding staff, really engaging, warm and welcoming. Exceptionally reasonable prices. This is exactly what a good pub should be like. I will definitely be visiting again as soon as possible. Cheers 🍻🥃

Passed through croston on bank holiday Sunday and decided to call in for a drink and some food. Sat on the front for a while waiting and no one came out. I then went inside and was told quite rudely I wasn’t allowed at the bar and someone would come out. They did then said they had run out of coke and was going over the road to the shop to get some. Ordered food and waited 50 minutes, then asked one of the staff to check how long it would be. She disappeared came back 5 minutes later to say she couldn’t tell us how long it would be. Shocking service with staff who really don’t know what they are doing.

Went with my wife and two brothers at the weekend for a family meal. The establishment is very cosy with a warm atmosphere and friendly welcoming staff. Was extremely impressed with the quality and value for money of the food. The Minted Lamb Henry was probably the most tender and tasty dish that I have eaten in a long time. Other members of the group were equally impressed by their meals (chilli con carne and steak pie). Have no problem in recommending this restaurant.

Poor customer service. Shown to a table by landlord. There for 2 hours. Ordered and paid for food to then be told by landlord that we hadn’t booked so couldn’t serve us. Asked if table was booked by someone else, were told no! Got our money back and left. No apology from landlord who was very abrupt. We had travelled from Coventry to meet up with friends over from Australia. It was very disappointing and an embarrassing endorsement of British hospitality. Went to Wheatsheaf down the road where we were welcomed and had a beautiful meal.

We arrived at 5pm to watch the football, picked an un reserved table. Was there for an hour then ordered a meal for 6, only to be told we cannot eat there because we had not booked the table?? I asked why and the manager said we are fully booked, but 60%of the tables were empty?? I did ask is our table booked for someone else and he said no?? So why could we not have a meal? Seriously do not understand why if the table was free? They made us leave.... will not be returning......

Really unimpressed, went there at about 5pm, waited for our friends to come who arrived at 6, went to order food at 6:30 and got told that as we didn't have a booking, we couldn't order any food, and that they were fully booked. We asked if anyone was having the table after we were leaving and the answer was no from the landlord himself. Will definitely not be returning. What a disgrace.

Out on a school night for something to eat in our village, saw the sign for Thursday Steak night & guessed I’d end up with cheese sandwich & chips!Asked Tracy if there was any Veggie main meal, she went & asked, came back with various options. I went for the Chilli Balti whilst hubby went for steak.It arrived, we hardly spoke, cleaned our plates. Food was delicious, chips were proper home made .... everything about it was perfect.I spoke to Andy, the manager & chef who explained that there’s not much call for vegetarian food but he’s always prepared to provide options on request. He’d literally made my curry from scratch, there & then & it really was the tastiest curry I’ve ever eaten in a pub. Hubby said his was pretty good too!Well worth a visit & ASK for a veggie option!

Went to the Black Horse Saturday. Starter of black pudding with crushed potatoes was excellent. I had the mixed grill which was superb - every item was tender and flavoursome, and I cleared the plate! My wife had the lamb chops which she swears are the best she's ever tasted, and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed her burger, which was thick and juicy. Service was impeccable and the whole dining experience was a delight. I can heartily recommend the place!

Must have changed hands from last visit such a shame ,to be given a Latte straight from a packet and be told that a Flat White is just a spoon of coffee with milk and sugar . Asked about the coffee machine only to be told we can’t plug a coffee machine in something to do with the electrics ,found that rather odd we usually buy two drinks each and cake it’s lovely to see these little cafe when your out walking and give them your support but sadly I’m not paying for a packet latte.

I got my order about 45 minutes after placing it - one coffee, one pastry and a muffin at a location five minutes away. Not the driver's fault! Costa took a very long time to prepare the order. From my understanding the driver was waiting at Costa for a long time. It shouldn't take the most part of an hour to get coffee :( I ordered it for my morning overtime at my workplace and it was nearly time to open to the public when my breakfast came. And the croissant was stale. Sorry:(
