It was really bad, the food was horrible the service was dead, the burger was rare and the macballs were bad, the chefs outfit was horrible horrible with his spandex didn’t look professional at all. Not good would never go there again. People should have some decently in this place.

Went for lunch on Thursday, very quite not many in there but the food was amazing, not alot on the menu as they are just sorting out the new menu, but what we had was lovely. The staff member Lauren who attended to us was lovely, shame there wasn't many eating in there, but it was a Thursday lunch, but speaking to the owner there seems to be plenty going on at weekends, definitely worth a visit

This is a pub which should be the anstey equivalent of the badgers sett in cropston but it's been blighted by it's association with drug taking and repeated changes of ownership. However, the latest owners are friendly and genuinely seem to want to make the place work, the inside is lovely, lots of snugs and also open spaces, it's also down for a refurbishment. Hopefully it will make good on it's potential

Sunday lunch was absolutely lovely. We had the choice between beef brisket, pork or turkey and between the 5 of us tried all of it, and i couldn't have hoped for better. The staff were lovely, polite and friendly, the best way to describe the food is just how mum used to make it, it was tasty, it had big portions, and came out quickly with a smile, we couldn't fault it at all.

Arrived for food and drinks. Not even to be told when ordering drinks food wasn’t available until I went up a second time. Then went into the garden and they have a run down bar outside not manned. The garden in general is not kept tidy specially for young children. Some kind of glass door left on the side awaiting a law suit or worse serious injury. To make matters worse. No atmosphere been in the past and still to find the same. Whoever the brewery and owners are sort it out. This pub is suppose to be the best in Anstey and it’s a shame as they have an enclosed garden but honestly The atmosphere is dead and the staff not very helpful. Heard they have numerous live in managers and nothing ever changes. But they post on their menu often about new menus but then can’t serve food. I mean it’s a standard day and they have no one in but that speaks for itself. And at the prices they’re charging. About 5 years ago it use to be the in pub and decent god knows what has happened since. Staff don’t even want to be there by the looks of things and how they speak. Sorry I’ve had to leave this review but honestly the pub is not giving any kinda vibe but that it needs to be closed or a massive revamp. Different pubs just outside of Anstey giving everything and much worth visiting. Overall thought don’t bother spending money in this pub which is a shame.

Visited with some friends while on a trip, we usually visit friends in the area twice a year. We go here quite often as it's only a short walk from our friends house. The menu has changed a lot over the years which has usually been fine but currently it has a "smokehouse" menu and the food was quite bland which was very surprising. The prices are quite expensive but probably normal for a small village pub and the pub is quite quiet when we visit which we enjoy and the staff are amazing! Very friendly and very helpful! We will continue to visit here as we like the atmosphere, we like the staff and we know the food can be better so this trip may have just been a blip.

Stopped here in passing. The only pub in the town that was open, served food and had a car park. Lovely well kept pub, landlady was very friendly, and the food was tasty, filling and generously portioned. We travel this route quite often so will return in the future.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, choice of 5 meals, including vegetarian. Absolutely the best Sunday meal out I have ever had. Seasoned to perfection. The bar staff were very attentive, with drinks served at the table. Very accommodating. We didn't book, were warmly welcomed. In addition, we noticed there are some special deals offered on different days, and are excellent value! Definitely going back in the week to try the fish and chips! Lovely large beer garden too.

Ate Sunday dinner here not long ago and it was pretty good. The presentation and food quality was good, and quite tasty. The staff were friendly and efficient, though the pub itself felt a bit rundown. There is plenty of parking out back and prices were pretty average for a pub Sunday dinner.

Wasn’t the best visit. Ordered jacket potatoes which the guy at the till put through for us. Around 10/15 minutes later they let us know that they did not have jacket potatoes and we could have a sandwich instead as they didn’t know how to refund. When the food arrived we were not given any cutlery or serviettes. The area we were sat in also smelt of damp which wasn’t pleasant. The food was basic.

Such a shame the last employees were moved on as we had such lovely time round Xmas. Took family in last week and absolutely shocking service to start I ordered all four drinks and paid and also said thanks, yet the so called barman (gold knuckle ring on) didn’t say one word! No hi no thanks no what would you like not one word WOOOW!!!! On the plus side we laughed about it all way home but what a shame. Lovely pub at the bottom of our road potentially ruined. Sad 😞

I really really really wanted to like this place. It seemed like such bad nice place from the outside but I just can't give it another go. I've been in here multiple times now, just for a few beers on my own, and it just feel backwards. You have patrons constantly slagging each other off having a domestic in what is essentially an empty bar. You have sky sports on multiple tellys, playing sport commentary, but you can't hear them because the music is so loud. If it's 6.30 on a thursday at night, you don't need loud music, you need that later when the party has started. The people behind the bar (I assume they are the owners) just seem miserable a lot of the time. It's so sad, because the bar itself, looks lovely. It's decor is really nice, it's a great location for residents nearby, but it just lacks something. Nowadays people say its a place for the young adults to hang out on weekend, I darent go and confirm it though, I've tried enough times now :(

Went in for something to eat. I had the pie and my wife had the steak. The pie filling was over cooked and the mash was cold. I asked for peas and got a selection of greens that were over boiled. One was cucumber?? My wife's steak had more gristle than beef jerky. And the chips were really greasy. Never again

Awful from the beginning. Sat down and didn’t get our order taken for at least 15 minutes… however it was Saturday night, it was busy, I get it. Drinks take another 15 minutes to come and get given to the table next to us. Left on that table for 10 minutes before they realised. Got given a jug of water for the table with no glasses. We assumed they were coming and waited for 10 minutes at least before going to the bar to ask for some. Food took over an hour to come which is fine if it’s worth the wait. It wasn’t. The burgers were nice however the dirty fries came cold so were sent back. They had obviously microwaved them because 2 minutes later they came back hot and soggy with the plastic cheese crispy. The dirty fries came with cubes of processed chicken which had seen better days. The pizza had “jerk chicken” which was grey. We had 2 slices of pizza out of 6 and potentially 4 chips. When asked if it was okay we said not really and explained the problems. We were told there was nothing wrong and basically we were making it all up. No apologies etc. She said the fries were soggy because of the sauce however some of the chips weren’t even cooked properly. The waitress went to get the chef so we could explain but 20 minutes later… no chef! We were then told that there was nothing wrong with the food that we didn’t eat but out of the goodness of their hearts they would give us the pizza and one fries free.

Very good, friendly service. Food was okay, just okay. Had the mixed grill, chicken was sloppy for some reason so didn't finish it. Was 50% off due to the Government scheme, but even at 50% off I felt overcharged for the meal sadly... Can get better mixed grills with more for less elsewhere. My daughter loved her kids meal however, and she got an Oreo (choc ice?) which she had most of. Sausages are good quality for eating out (I'm fussy with meat produce). Kids drinks (fruit shoots), like most pubs, aren't in the fridge! So had a J2O for kids instead.

Went as a table of 6 on a Saturday evening. It was a busy evening and didn't feel there were enough staff on as they were all doing bar and table service and there were long waits between courses. They were polite, friendly and attentive. Did also find that we had to wait for cutlery after the food was delivered. The food was great to be fair and would happily go again. The only issue with the food was the price of the deserts. Am afraid £8.95 for a small slice of cheesecake was excessive. Overall a decent experience with a little room for improvement
