Can’t really say much about the food as we didn’t get that far. Booked up months ago for my family for Boxing Day. Got an email on Christmas morning saying sorry not doing food Boxing Day but I’m more than welcome to come in for a round of drinks and spend my deposit money. Laughable

We had to wait about 25 minutes for our food to be served after ordering it at the bar. The portions of food were good and it was hot. Our position by the window was a little cold. Eventually the adjacent radiator was turned on. The waitress was friendly and returned to ask if the meal was alright - we confirmed it was fine. She also helped in providing drawing paper and pencils for our 4 year-old grand-daughter. None of the cask ales were available thus reducing our choice of beer drinks.

Works Christmas dinner, the service was good, but the food could have been better. The starter of chicken wings was the highlight. Turkey main course was let down by cold and uncooked cabbage. The Christmas pudding dessert was good.

We turned up at 16.45 for our table at 17.00 for 10 people, yesterday 22nd December, only to see a note on door...kitchen closed. We had received an email earlier that day to ask us to confirm we were still attending. This was a family meal, and included children. and we came from different areas to meet there. The staff were clueless...will never book again, or recommend to anyone else...cannot give a 0...

Fabulous place with lovely staff. I reserved an area of the pub for a family gathering for a birthday, with buffet for 20 people. The Gold Service buffet was lovely. The thing that really made it for us though was Sarah,running the bar, sorting the timings for the food and making sure everything was seamless. She was brilliant, an absolute credit. Would absolutely recommend this place.

We pre-ordered our food which was a Christmas dinner with work colleagues. Starters took 1 hr 45 to arrive. Prawns were warm in prawn cocktail so people worried to eat them. Another hour for mains to arrive which were cold and roasts had 1 and a half roast potatoes on. Didn't wait for desserts. Would not return.

Beef rib very tender and delicious on inside but like jerky on the outside so a lot was wasted. Either meal deal isn't clear or we didn't receive some items. Ordered beef plus potato side assumed that would mean full beef roast plus extra helping of potatoes and gravy but only got half a cup gravy and 3 potatoes total. Not enough gravy to do justice to the roast. Drink was also missing which was supposed to be part of the deal. all in all quite expensive for what was delivered.

Would give a zero star if I could,2 hours for a roast dinner could of cooked it quicker at home,it's such a shame the crabtree used to be so good and we have been going here so long but yesterday was an absolute shambles we waited 1hour for cold chicken wings then another hour for our mains with a 2year old this is unexpectable.we were celebrating our granddaughters birthday and to be honest it was ruined she was so tired and fed up couldn't even do her cake,our food was not great either after waiting 2hours to get dried up food was very disappointing it's such a shame sort out your kitchen staff the staff in front of house was lovely but if you don't sort out the kitchen you will lose customers,it's such a shame our birthday celebrations was ruined really wish we went somewhere else.

Ordered Two Sunday roasts Ingredients "veg" in my opinion were Frozen and cooked in the oven. The type you can buy in the supermarket Gammon,Yorkshire and Gravey were fine. Could of made the dinner at home asked for apple sauce non available which is standard anywhere else. Food Quality very poor Not value for money

Unfortunately when we arrived and begun looking at the menu (we had booked in advance for food and drinks) we were informed that the pub had taken on a table of 30 and due to this no food would be served from the kitchen at all. Unfortunately due to this we decided to leave and go elsewhere. However due to the fact we had booked prior it would have been nice to have received a call or email from the pub to notify us of the decision. The staff didn't seem to know what was going on and we were informed the kitchen couldn't cope with the large party plus other orders and so the party of 30 would be priority and nobody else would be getting food. I was not impressed and won't be rushing back for a Sunday lunch anytime soon

For the amount of money you pay plus a service charge it’s not worth ordering. The food was very dry and chips were hard and cold. Burgers was bland and no flavour. Kids meals was worse and even the kids was questioning is that it! Portion sizes was shocking and we will not be ordering again. Hope that’s not how people are served if they go into the pub.

Bar service was decent and some of the food servers where great one guy was pretty grumpy and let the team down, and wait time for desserts after mains was excessive, took over nearly 45mins (chased after waiting 30mins) Set menu was good value, however the lasagne for one main was smaller than a Tesco ready meal and 2 of the desserts were disappointing (sticky toffee pudding gritty texture, choc orange sponge was boring, bland and flavourless, cold outside jelly/jam in the middle so hot it burnt the mouth, would avoid all these dishes in future

We had a table booked for 6.30 as we had toddlers with us and hoped to leave by 8pm for bedtime. Starters took ages and mains had not been served by 8.30.. We was then told by Security we needed to be out by 9 due to the children even though we had not even eaten. Seriously I was very angry at this with miserable children who were tired,bored and very hungry by this time, demanded a refund, left and wont be returning. A two hour wait for mains is not acceptable anyway but we had waited patiently only to be told to get out at 9. Fair enough you have this rule but why not serve tables with children first.. We dont want to stay until that time anyway with hungry, fed up kids!!!! Absolutely disgusting management response as well and not dealt with appropriately.

HBH Family lunches. Visited for lunch several times during our stay in the area. On each occasion the pleasant staff were extremely helpful regarding food allergies. Several different eating areas and a large out door garden, appears to be fenced from the road. Recommended meals; Posh Fish n Chips; Scampi; Haddock n chips; Hunters Chicken Schnitzel. And the Vegan caramel cheesecake is scrumptious!

We had a very pleasant and relaxed lunch with family and friends here on Saturday in May. One of our party was in a wheelchair, which I had mentioned when making the reservation. When we arrived at the pub, I went in ahead of everyone else and gave my name and reservation details. The manager showed me to a nice table and, as he did so, he remarked that he had selected it for us as it had space for a wheelchair. He said this before seeing the rest of our party - so he had actually read up ahead of time and noted our special needs! This impressed me greatly. We had a great lunch. The food was good, the staff were all pleasant and the pub has a very nice ambience. All-in-all a delightful experience!

Booked table for 4 for birthday dinner, after a recomendatio. no greeter to show us where our table was, tried to asked a waitress who was too busy to stop, bingo going on as well as loud music, not a great start, barman showed us table in the end, who was helpful throughout re allegies etc. I had the steak and venison pie which was good, the same couldn't be said of the veg, which appeared to have been left under a heat lamp too long and was rubbery, you could pick the mash up in one lump but what was really disappointing was dogs yapping and barking throughout. why are dogs allowed in restaurant. First visit, won't be returning.
