Had a festive meal with friends and we couldn't fault it. Lovely food cooked by Kayleigh, and great service from Gemma. Excellent value for money. Staff went above and beyond to make the 5 of us have a lovely Christmas celebration! Would recommend.

Went here the earlier in the week for some food and a couple drinks. The pub was clean and inviting with friendly staff. I was served by Sam who made the effort to start a conversation with me while at the bar. Because of this she made an excellent recommendation on what food to order and had a good knowledge about the drinks on offer. She made me aware of the current wait time on food which was nice and suggested a good place to sit. The food came out piping hot and on time. Sam also made sure I had everything I needed when serving my meal, checking back in part way through and even refilled my drink which was unexpected. Would highly recommend

Came for a meal on a Friday night with a few friends. We all enjoyed our food (We had steaks and a burger) and were served by Sam, who was polite and welcoming. Would definitely recommend if you want a place to unwind with some friends after a long day.

Our Server Zak was brilliant and very attentive, always happy to help you with a smile on his face. Food on the other hand was really tasteful, pleasantly displayed and pipping hot. My nephews kids meal was loaded with plenty vegetables (which you rarely see now for the little ones) Props to Chef Kayleigh

Exceptional service on a very busy day. We popped in here after the Great North Run as it was the nearest pub to our camp site for the weekend and didn't have the energy to walk any further. It was PACKED, but we were lucky enough to get a table that someone was just leaving. The staff were brilliant. On my many visits to the bar, I never waited more than a minute to be served. We also ate here and were all very happy with the choices on the menu and quality of our meals. If I lived nearer, I'd make this my local for sure. O, and it looks like a cracking place to watch sport on tv as there are screens covering all the bars.

For all I've not eaten here yet, when I'm there I see plenty of food going out to customers and lots of empty plates going back so it must be gold. Drinks reasonably priced could be a tad better but with a loyalty card per visit and clicking up x amount of them you get a free drink. Service is spot on staff are friendly and helpful as well as patient especially during busy times.

Food was good hot good portion size childrens menu was a good size Our server Christey was lovely really helpful friendly patient with us because we had a large order (12 people). Atmosphere was nice lively and fun. I woulf recommend this pub for a nice meal. There is one issue it is a dog friendly pub which was clearly signed the problem was the dogs were allowed in the childrens area where food was being eaten

Great beer garden with parking and seating area dog friendly. Go into main bar area to get menu. Once agreed submitted order were we didn’t have to wait long. Food arrived with no cutlery or compliments so back into bar to ask. He forgot but came out with them leaving food going cold. Food itself was Clicken tikka skewers that were overcooked dry with the rice that luke warm and tasteless. Pity

Booked a table for Sunday lunch on the website and when we got there I was told they don’t serve Sunday lunch, very strange! Anyway opted for a meal from the menu, fish and chips and scampi and chips, all I can say it was definitely not worth the 20 minute wait. The fish was tiny and had a strange texture and taste, about 12 chips and a spoonful of peas the scampi was the same. The little dog at the next table got most of it. Very disappointing as the meals used to be lovely.

This was a lunch time visit with a good show of customers. Staff both bar and floor were very attentive and welcoming making sure we had enough time to settle and read the menu. Great service as didn’t wait long before the starters arrived Hunters chicken nachos & chicken wings to share. Full of taste and flavour. The mains were just as good as the 8oz streak was cooked to perfection and the chicken skewers were top dollar. I would recommend this pub for good value food with no conplaints. Well done.

We booked Christmas dinner worth £49.99 per person. The quality of the food was underwhelming. For starter we ordered Prawn Salad, and it was just few bits of prawn(smallest type of prawn was served), Main Course was okey(Turkey and Beef Ribs) but the vegetables was overcooked and only few stalks of veggies was served. Furthermore, the dessert was a Christmas Pudding, and it was the tinniest portion and the amount of custard was about 1 tablespoon. It was diabolical. If you're going to book a Christmas Dinner at this Pub, please just avoid this pub. Totally waste of money.

Food is generic pub grub, it’s cheapish and of alright quality, don’t expect anything more and you’ll be generally pleased. BBQ sauce is a bit TOO sweet and is overpowering quickly. But overall, if you’re after a nice quick cheaper meal, it’s always a good shout. Beers are always decent though! Cocktail offer is great value for money also, the Long Island ice tea packs one hell of a punch

Revisited after a five year gap since a last visit to consume morning tea and discovered the service previously applauded had evaporated. Argumentative table service after a minor question over legal tender and the attitude off-hand and rude...waitress (?) had to have the last word...of course as she knows everything. Beverages as appalling as the service and the single slice of ham in the sandwich may yet win an award for becoming the thinnest gauge of processed meat in the delicatessen hall of fame. Avoid at all cost.

Visited bar blue for a family meal lovely surroundings decor etc staff exceedingly polite and helpful. A vast choice of meals we all funished ours and said how lovely it was best pie lamb fell off the bone and was the best ever. Gdaughter had fish and chips devoured it all, fajitas and mince and dumps fimished the choices and again lovely then desserts arrived to complete a top class meal thankyou from us all for a lovely meal and culinary enjoyment. Additionally it is a total disgrace that customers sre charged 1 50 for a portion of sauce mint ketchup etc even parmesan is £1. My g/dtr loves her ketchup so we ended up grttin several portions BB will no doubt be chaging for salt and pepper soon tight bastards. You can buy catering packs of sachets 100 for less than 8 quid so how PATHETIC is it to charge 1 50 per portion . The owners /management need to get a grip or lose custom be told !!!!
