The Dog & Quayle in Ashfield

Buen pub limpio, el asador estaba bien, pero no le gustó el hecho de que todas las carnes se cortaron con el mismo cuchillo y tenedor de trinchar, por lo que era posible la contaminación cruzada. Siempre he pensado que debería haber un cuchillo separado para cada carne. Mi compañero no come productos de cerdo, por lo que no podía tener el asador ya que el cuchillo se usaba para todas las carnes pero tenía el filete caro. Un poco picantes pero estaba bien preparado, aunque otros que tenían bistec tuvieron que enviarlos de vuelta, ya que los dos raros estaban bien hechos, no volverán a visitarlo.

Absolutely fantastic Christmas day meal here. Food was hot and delicious, the service was fantastic. Cant recommend this place highly enough. Mrs.Claus (sorry we didnt get your name) was super welcoming and friendly, and so were her family, which were also having a meal, whilst waiting for her to finish work. Thank you for making our Christmas day so lovely.

excellent well cooked food very good service pleasant surroundings! We have also booked for Christmas lunch! Can hardly wait

Visité hace unos días y la comida era excelente. Buena selección de carnes asadas, pasteles y guisos. Puedes comer lo que quieras y luego servirte papas, verduras, etc. También haz una buena selección de postres. Personal amable y precios razonables para la comida. El café parecía un poco caro pero, sin embargo, bastante agradable. Definitivamente volveremos a visitar.

Excellent carvery with an amazing choice of food..Catering for all tastes and allergies. Excellent service...

Una visita el viernes por la noche con amigos, elegimos el asador y pagamos en el bar para obtener un boleto. Las opciones eran muy variadas, con opciones de vegetación (ninguno de nosotros éramos vegetales) y se podía elegir tener más de una cosa, deliciosos pudines de Yorkshire, muchas opciones de verduras asadas o hervidas, además de puré de papa, etc.Muy buena comida, abundante y una gran elección, cuando visite de nuevo sin duda volveré.

Gran asador y buen precio.Siempre siendo superado un montón de opciones.Me encantan los platos extra de salchicha de zapatero etc. .Lo recomendaría por el precio ya que puedes subir tantas veces como quieras.Y sírvete a ti mismo los platos de carne extra una vez, pero te dan mucha primera vez.No había lugar para pudín pero se veían muy bien.Sólo lo malo bebe muy caro.Mi hijo tenía grosella negra y agua del grifo, que pensé que también estaría libre en estos díasMe cobraron 1. 60!Todas las cervezas alrededor de las 3. 50 una pinta.Se quedaría más tiempo y tendría que amarrar para beber si los precios fueran más razonables.También la única otra cosa que me subió a mi neves fueron las personas que piden mi plato.Cuando estaba esperando que la comida bajara por unos segundos.¡Me preguntaron 5 veces!Pero aparte de eso los hechos lo recomendarían para la comida, pero no para las bebidas.

Not the very best, but certainly value for money and well presented. No complaints here. Well done! Handy too, only two minutes off j27 of M1

brilliant food ,and staff we visited a few weeks ago was so impressed with the carvery we just had to return, just as good , we will be back, its worth the trip from chesterfield.

Went for a carvery on Sunday. The food looked lovely and tasted nice as well. Apart from the roast potatoes looked dodgy. A shame, they're my favourite. The dinner was only just warm. The plates and the dinner should be much hotter than this . A shame again as we live local.Drinks very expensive.

Yo y mis dos amigas llamamos a Dog and Quail el sábado por la noche el 9 de marzo para probar el carvary. Nos sorprendió la cantidad de opciones que se ofrecen. El carvary fue probablemente el mejor que hemos tenido durante muchos años, perfecto para nosotros y Tomamos un poco de placer. A pesar de que estábamos satisfechos, tuvimos que probar los postres, Guau, fueron excelentes y, sin duda, los mejores que hemos tenido y mucho más. Bien hecho a todos volveremos.

Después de escuchar a compañeros de trabajo hablando sobre este pub, pensé en probarlo con mi pareja y mi hija. Ojalá no me hubiera molestado. Las bebidas eran caras. Aunque el asador se veía y olía bien, decidimos ir por una parrillada mixta. Lo único bueno en mi plato eran las salchichas, ¡todo lo demás obviamente había estado viviendo en el desierto del Sahara durante varios años! ¿Por no hablar de la pila de sal en el gammon? ni una sola vez nos preguntaron si todo era de nuestro agrado. Muy decepcionado y no volveré.

La comida estaba fría, el pudín de Yorkshire empapado, sin sabor. Nadie preguntó si la comida estaba bien. Se quejó solo de que se le dijera a ningún gerente, le pidió hablar con el chef pero ella no lo iba a buscar. Negó cualquier conocimiento de la dirección de correo electrónico para quejarse. Los refrescos son muy caros. Quería comprobar el lugar para llevar a la familia para el tratamiento de cumpleaños, pero nunca más. La formación de servicio al cliente necesitaba mucho.

Went for a Sunday lunch today ... what a treat , food was amazing, would definitely recommend. Staff were lovely, will definitely be back again

Food was lovely couldn't fault any of it seated straight away reasonable prices will be back again and again

We saw this place as we passed heading to Shipley country park so thought we would visit on the way back. We parked up and went in and was greeted with a friendly welcome. The first impressions was great and the place was very warm and welcoming with background music and nice decor.

Tuvimos una comida familiar para 14 el 27 de diciembre. El personal no pudo habernos cuidado mejor. Eran amables, eficientes y considerados. Nada era demasiado problema. La comida era excelente, varios en nuestro grupo tenían el asado y estaban muy impresionados con la calidad y variedad que ofrecía.

Family visit today with 9 of us, good choice of meats, pies, casserole & stews to have with the carvery deck. Good portions too, could have as much of the different choices as you wanted! Veg was hot and a decent choice!

Haven't been here for some time, but pleased to return and find the carvery better than ever. Still the same sort of menu, but all choices excellent. We will definintely recommend this place and return for another excellent meal.

Last minute family meal for nine. Nothing too much trouble, great food, good value and a nice welcome with great service.

Visited the Dog & Quayle today for lunch not been befor,was greeted by a friendly lady at the bar. We had the scampi it was lovely and hot and the service was good. We will be back to try the carvery 7.95 Monday to Saturday & 9.95 on Sunday. They had a good vegetarian specials that’s good too.

Visitamos el Dog and Qual ayer por primera vez para el almuerzo del domingo. El asador fue increíble. Había una fantástica selección de asados, guisos, pasteles y muchas verduras. Todo se veía tan sabroso. El personal era muy amable y servicial también. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo ya que es el mejor lugar que he visitado en la zona por comida durante mucho tiempo.

He visto las críticas mixtas, pero decidí darle una oportunidad de todos modos.

Fuimos allí para una reunión familiar, el pub se ve muy agradable y era un lugar agradable para ir un poco tranquilo, pero había una razón para eso,

formaly sandhills this pub has been renovated to high spec and serves a high quality carvery with different meats and veg to suit all taste plus very good fish

Delicious carvery in a nice cosy setting. They offer a great choice of pies and I highly recommend the peppered steak! Good prices for quality food.

I was in 2 minds about visiting this pub as I had read mixed reviews about it - I needn't have worried! We went for the Sunday carvery and the choice was excellent. As well as the different meats there were lots of other options such as casseroles, cobbler and vegetarian dishes. There was also a great choice of veg and potatoes. Previous reviews had said that the food wasn't warm enough, but ours was piping hot. The dessert selection was also great and included cornflake tart and apple crumble as well as cheesecake and ice cream. Definitely worth a visit.

We saw that The Dog And Quayle had had a revamp and decided to give it another try, we last visited over two years ago and said never again. We were pleasantly surprised, we had the carvery, the Beef was delicious, melted in our mouths, the choice of vegetables really good, the only disappointment was the food wasn't hot enough, I notice that others have commented on this, if the manager got this right it would be perfect and worth 5*, we will return and hopefully the food will be hotter, other than that it's the closest to home made that we have ever had.

Have visited this pub many times for a meal. They do a very good value for money carvery. There are plenty of parking spaces plus an outside smoking area. Staff are pleasant and helpful.

We went for our second visit to the Dog and Quayle. Again the quality of food was first class. The only let-down was that the veg was warm and not hot enough. This did take the edge of our enjoyment. Even so, we will be returning and hope that the management can improve how the food is kept hot. If not, we will be going else where :(

Good value for money,Carvery but with other choices,9 other dishes when I visited,had Peppered Steak which was really good. Will soon be refurbishing with Carpets and Wall paper but is ok how it is.The Proprietor Is Bulgarian and is very pleasant and has really turned this place around in the 2 years they have been here. Highly Recommend.

The Dog & Quayle provides very, very, good food - with an extremely varied choice, free to take up at any time during eating. But the entire establishment is dogged by food temperature problems. There are on the market many forms of "Hostess" heating : special cookware, hot water reservoirs, over-pot lighting, under-pot flame. None of these are entirely satisfactory - and no form of hot-plate heating can compensate for food not being absolutely piping hot when it gets to serving hatch/ serving table. Dog & Quayle now needs to get a specialist food-heating firm in- or arrange a staff visit to any Nottingham Carvery that HAS cracked this problem.

We have been here before and we enjoyed it then

Called in with hubby after work (28th Dec) had the best carvery ever! Was served immediately & chose our food which I must say was cooked to perfection! Meat so tender/creamiest mash ever/veg just beautiful & a big luvly homemade Yorkshire pud with 2 drinks & change from £20....will deffo be calling again!! Compliments to the chef-just perfect

A lovely night out in a very comfortable restaurant. The food was very mouth watering and was very well cooked. My wife and I had the carvery which was ample and cooked to perfection. From the moment we sat down the waitress gave us her undivided attention being very friendly and making us feel like VIP's.

After living in near by Selston I have driven past this place numerous times and never look twice as the outside decoration is not appealing to enquiry further. However after repeatedly being let down by the hole in the wall I was keen to see...

We searched for somewhere to eat not far from the M1 as we were travelling from Leeds to Worcestershire with our granddaughter. We struck lucky with this simple pub.

Excellent all you can eat carvery, there’s not many places where you can get back up and have more roast, meat pie or bath

Absolutely brilliant Carvery .. good service from the staff .. hardly any waiting time .. nothing more can be said ..

I visit the pub about twice a week for lunch. The choice is far more varied than other self service pubs, and the food is of much better quality. What a lot of people don't realise is that in a lot of chain pubs all the food is frozen. Not so here. Everything is fresh each day, and I have never had a bad meal here.

went here with friends we eat out few times a week and this was one of the best evergood price lots to chose from love the fact you can have pie ,stew etc as well as all the meats . Will be going back soon

We visited today for lunch after visiting Jacksdale Garden Centre. The carvery is excellent value for money - especially if your hungry as it's different from other carveries in that you can choose as many main meal options as you like . There are also 2 Theakston real ales on draught and both were excellent. As it's also only 1/2 mile from Jct 27 on the M1 what better place to have a meal break if your on the M1 than to visit the Dog & Qualye.

Had our carers christmas party.the food was good and reasonably priced.staff were very helpfull.didnt have to wait to long in between courses.

Eight of us had lunch here today. A family member had booked it as they live in the area. After looking at the reviews on TA, wasn't sure how it would be. The pub is very dated, as mentioned by another reviewer. Sort of 1970's Ercol furniture in the back dining room where we were sat and generally quite old fashioned, in need of a refurb.It was fairly busy and we had to queue for the carvery. There were usual carvery meats plus some other dishes you could pay a return visit for (pork goulash, liver, sausages and a few others). The selection of vegetables were varied and plentiful. The problem I had was that everything was not hot, quite luke warm in fact. We all had the carvery and some people did say their lunches were acceptable, even though some of it was not hot enough.Not for me.

Having read mix reviews some poor some 5 star we went to find out 5 of us,3 had the Carvery 2 had Fish & Chips we all enjoyed the food . Group opinion 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Excellent food,the real ale was exceptional we had the pubs Dog &Quayle bitter ,mine host were very attentive,as was the waitress We will return

Visited here on several recommendations from friends & family after being regular eaters at Hole in the Wall, which is always hit & miss. Was amazed not only at the range of food on offer but also the taste! Additional to the traditional meat & veg you're also offered a selection of casserole-type dishes which are included in the car very price. I tried the BBQ gammon which was divine & not a bit spicy, just lovely. The array of different veg was refreshing after the basic fare of HitW. There was red cabbage, cauliflower cheese, new/roast/mashed potatoes, homemade Yorkshire puddings, and the usual stuff. There are two types of gravy (onion & plain), both of which are proper tasty. I just can't fault the food at all, and the surroundings/decor/furniture are pleasant too. The other place has definitely been knocked out of the water & I will be visiting The Dog & Quayle many times again I'm certain :)

My seventh or so visit. The food remains unmatched in choice at Lunchtime, generous portions, fresh, variety, mouthwatering...and the invitation to re-visit the servery. But 3 years later, heat of food should not be a problem. The Dog & Quayle should have had a staff meeting one Monday morning - with nobody standing up until all had pitched in ideas for how to start with steaming hot food, and keep it steaming. There is kitchenware on sale that could easily correct this deficit [ which other Reviewers have also mentioned]. Puddings : expensive, but delicious.

Went to the Dog and Quail for the first time last Sunday we did not book but were seated right away, first impressions dated, old fashioned needs a face lift, Carverys were £9-95 a bit steep i thought we went to the servery first thing we noticed the floor was very dirty our feet were sticking to the floor. There's a good selection of food from bloody beef if you like it like that, turkey and pork and sausages, liver and a few more dishes. I don't think we would return to this place i felt sorry for the few staff they had waiting to pay was an ordeal with only one lady serving drinks and taking money for food we didn't have a pudding they didn't look very appetizing all i can say is a lot of money for something you would probably pay £5 to £6 anywhere else.

A lot of my friends had told me to come by here on a Sunday for a carvery. And believe me, I have a huge love for carveries. They told me it gets busy on Sundays so I decided to book a table for 1 o'clock. Lets just say I wasn't disappointed. Not only have you got sliced cooked meats, there's also gorgeous cobblers, stews, hotpots and casseroles. By far one of the best carveries I've eaten. If I could pick one down fall: the veg was a bit hard but other than that I have no negatives.

Normally Carvery is 3 meats and a big selection of Veg but at the Dog & Quayle you have 3 roast meats plus 6-8 other dishes to go at for £6.95. Fabulous choice and value to say you can go back as many times as you want for veg so can forward load on the mains. I have never seen anybody eat as much as my colleague did using that concept!!On the downside some of the families can be at bit rowdy but on a Thursday teatime 7.30pm after the noisy family had disappeared in the first 10 minutes things were nice and peaceful to enjoy the meal

This was my 4th and last Christmas Day here. The place was virtually overtaken by one family who had most of the tables booked and had no respect for the fact that other people were there to enjoy their own Christmas. We were constantly interrupted and even had one person leaning on the back of an occupied chair for 20mins at our table. The staff were either oblivious or turned a blind eye to the intrusion caused to other customers. Needless to say we will be looking elsewhere next year. The service was fine as was the food but such a disappointing day.

We have not been to this pub for a few years, but it has had a change of management and seemed popular, by the amount of cars in the car park when we often past. So we decided to give it another try.Well, I do not like being negative but I am struggling to find something positive to say, We started by ordering drinks my wife asked to look at the wine menu, they did not have one, so we ordered at the bar, we were told which was our table and made our way. As it is at any carvery we expected to go to the counter in the usual manor only to be told we needed a ticket to be served I went back to the bar and enquired and was given a ticket for the three of us ( a bitt strange that these were not given before) I went to the counter and we were served.On arriving back at the table we found the food to be hardly warm, there was no staff around and as we had a busy day ploughed in, but we could only get through about half before giving up.A waiter appeared and asked if we had finish, we told that the food was nearly cold and was disappointed his reply was "oh" and walked off.I did notice he then checked the temperature of the food but did not come back and say everything was fine so therefore can only assume it wasn't.Overall the staff were not attentive by any stretch of the imagination and needless to say we will not be re-visiting this establishment again, very very disappointing

Not been here for over a year and won't be going again!! Place was almost empty which is not a good sign for a Saturday teatime (5pm). Went to get our carvery the food looked ok but the food was cold. Only the gravy was hot, even had to go back for more gravy to try to warm the food up! Meats were overcooked, probably been under the lights for too long. Couldn't cut the Beef up as it was so tough. Yorkshires were tough and dried out. Lumpy mashed potatoes. The main fault was the food was so cold!

We were recommended to try here by a friend and found it has an exceptional vegetarian range plus good general menu

Good food selection but once again food was luke warm. It should not be beyond the management to serve hot food to customers. It does seem to be a frequent complaint.However I Will op be prepared to give it another chance before striking it from the list.

Despite not booking ahead for Sunday lunch, we were seated quickly. We found the waitress friendly and helpful. The wood floor near the carvery was very sticky, one’s shoes making a squelching noise with every step. It seemed to need a thorough cleaning. The carvery vegetable selection was good but regretfully was not hot. My wife’s gammon was tough but, to be fair, they made good by bringing extra turkey for her. In my opinion, it would not need a great effort to improve customer experience. I hope that they can achieve that!

The Dog and Quayle is a very pleasant establishment. As well as a carvery ,food could also be ordered from the menu. The food was good, and all the dishes were hot and well presented. Staff were pleasant and friendly, and there was no rush to leave the premises when the meal had been eaten. All in all, very good value for money.

went to Dog & Quayle with a large party of 32 people, the food again was brilliant, we chose not to have the carvery and we had sirloin steak which was cooked to perfection, service very good they made us all most welcoming, and all really enjoyed the food.On the down side we was put in a back room, which was very poorly laid out it was dark and dismal and damp, there was plenty of room for us all in the main restaurant could understand why they did not put us in there. If you go with a large party ask for the main restaurant. The other downside was the price of drinks were scandalous, you expect to pay a little more for drinks but they were well OTT prices, i have mentioned before on a previous review and obviously the company that owns the place do not give a monkeys, and charge what they want. We will return to the D&Q but not pay those prices behind the bar.

On Friday 2nd. Sept. I took a party of fifteen to your pub for a carvery. Four of my guests had just arrived from Ireland on the 4.00p.m. flight hungry and tired. I purchased 12 adult carvery and 1 child carvery meals but had miscalculated by one. It wasn't until we were sitting having a drink that I realised I had not counted myself so as I got up to purchase another meal one of my guests who is 73 years of age asked if she could have a child's portion as she doesn't eat a lot. I asked the girl at the bar if I could purchase a child's meal and she said she would have to ask the guy behind the bar whom I took to be the manager. He said it couldn't be done as it was for children under the age of fourteen, I was flabbergasted after purchasing 13 meals he was going to deny me purchasing a child's meal for a pensioner. I was getting annoyed by this time. When he finally gave in he said he would go and he would put the food on the plate, again I told him if he did that he would be putting too much on her plate. He didn't trust me and was making it obvious to other customers. Reluctantly he gave the ticket and I told him that I would come back with the food on the plate and show him what my guest had chosen. On her plate was 2 slices of beef, she only asked for one, a teaspoon of peas, 2 tiny roast potatoes, small portion of carrots, 2 cauliflower florets and a Yorkshire pudding. She didn't eat all her meal and for that reason I will not be going to the Dog and Quale ever again. You lost my custom all because of a child's meal and one more thing my niece who is 13 was one of the guests and because she has a big appetite I got her an adult meal. The other childs meal was for my 7 year old granddaughter. Not good customer relations.

A party of 6 adults and 2 children and all had the carvery bar one who had fish and chips...the food was excellent...so many choices in the carvery side....well worth a visit and will definately go there again and sooner rather than later.Everyone left happy..no complaints at all.

We have visited this pub a few times on a Sunday for the Carvery which is very good with lots of choice as well as roast meats there is usually a stew, a pie, sausages and onions etc so something for everyoneeverything is presented well and cooked nicely, very good value for money

4 of us went and tried the Carvery and really enjoyed,pleasant surroundings.choice of menu,good beer. Will return

Had another excellent meal here again. I don't know how they do it for the money they charge. It's always great and you have such a choice AND you can have as many of the dishes as you like and go up as many times you want including the 3/4 meats they have on offer. Even if you live a few miles away, it is well worth going there even if it's just to try it. Don't just take my word try it out.

Good budget food . Let down by the fact it was on the cooler side of warm. Staff all very nice but cool food. It's a shame because it's such good value.

Made our Golden wedding party very special,the staff were extremely helpful polite and professional,providing us with a beautiful room ,and allowing us to decorate the tables,the meal was everything we could ask for, a wide choice of food to suit every palate,well produced and beautifully presented,the choice of sweets became a great hit,with a top class presentation,fine dining at its best,all finished with a good coffee.The whole party of 23 would like to say Thank You ,we will definitely recommend you, and look forward to our next visit.Wishing you all the very best,stay happy,keep your wonderful smiles.

Visited this place with friends, a bit unsure because of previous reviews, however we were delighted with our meal. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was delicious.

we were out looking for another carvery in the area but sat nav sent us here so thought we would give it a go, so glad we did, we visited around 1.30 ish food on carvery was really hot and tasty (other menu choices for those who don't fancy carvery), we only had tea to drink so can't comment on price of other drinks, but was surprised by the choice of food on offer, other carveries only offer meat or pie etc but not all at once, very nice staff and place is very clean. would recommend this place to anyone who likes nice food and a relaxed meal

It was our first visit here and we decided to try the carvery. We couldn't believe the amount of choice there was and everything we did try was delicious, Will definitely be calling again.

Where can you go for a meal which serves you Three different meats as well as 8 other dishes, which if you want, you could have a bit of them all and 8 veg dishes as well all for the price of just under £7. Also if you are that hungry go up as many times you like. The place is also lovely and clean. It also caters for parties.

I used to rave about this Restaurant. The idea is ideal : a Casserole Carvery, return visits to the servery, and brilliant puddings. But my last 3 visits, including this one, have been blighted by Lukewarm food [ not good for cooked meats ]. I cannot believe that, in Year 2016, no solution has been attempted, or found, to overcome tepid temperatures....esp. when other Reviewers have drawn attention to this deficit. Whatever happened to absolutely steaming ceramic stew-pots?

Have been passed this place many times but recently decided to try it. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Most people were having the carvery but we decided to go for the menu. Had battered Brie, looked fine but had a very fishy taste, think it must have been fried in the same fat as the fish. The fish and chips looked very nice but the fish had a strong fishy smell. The beef lasagne was not good. Lumpy minced beef no tomato in it and the pasta just broken pieces thrown in with some cheese on top. Could not eat all of it all. Very disappointed.

Thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful carvery with the family. Lovely decor, good food and excellent service.

Visited today for carvery, we have been several times and the food is always fresh and very tastey, great selection if you don't want 3 different meats, they also do homemade meat dishes.The only downside of the pub is the price of drinks are very expensive, 3 drinks around £13, which is OTT, we was talking to other people there and they said exactly the same thing prices of drinks far too expensive. We shall return there again but will not be buying any drinks. we hope management take heed and listen and act on other reviews.

Have been to this pub a few times now and have never been disappointed with a bad meal. The staff are very friendly, good ales too. But you just can't find a better price anywhere than here and you can eat has much as you like including the meat. They also have 8 other dishes that you can try.

Well priced evening menu and traditional English buffet with lots of choice of things to eat. Good atmosphere, much better than other buffet style restaurants in Nottinghamshire.

Too much food out, not kept hot. When the staff were advised they just said they would turn up the hot plate, too late for us. Won't return.

Booked for 6 people having carvery. Spoilt for choice on food, allhot and tasty, lovely presentation of desserts, very good prices and excellent quality of food. All staff helpful and polite.would highly recommend

Having given this resturant a miss for quiet a while,( because of Luke warm sloppy veg and cold meat) we were told it was under new management,so decided to give it another chance,so glad we did the carvery was excellent,with a wide choice of meats,pies,casseroles etc and veg,all steaming hot.I am also glad to report,the staff are very friendly and efficient as they were before.Well done Dog &Quayle,you seem to be back on track.

Visited here for my birthday after recommendations from friends and family and was not disappointed.The selection from the carvery was excellent even though it was a Monday evening and very few diners. The food was piping hot I chose something off the menu which again was delicious and the manager made certain my meal was ready before my husband went to the carvery.The deserts are well worth sampling I had lemon meringue pie and scrumptious is the only word I can come up with.Everything including service from the staff was perfect we will certainly visit again

A most unusual Carvery, deserving a re-visit. You can have a tiny helping, then go back for a different Casserole, then go back for different vegetables with the Sausage. Good puddings, beautifully laid-out, supplemented with stewed apple from the Carvery table ! My main reservation is these past TWO visits, all the food has been luke-warm. You'd expect that of the joints, but clearly the hot-plates and hot-lamps are not working for everything else. The Chef should come out every quarter-hour from Noon onwards only to test for everything burning hot. Nonetheless, a worthy enterprise.

The food from the carvery was excellent though could have been a little warmer. Staff bent over backwards to help you. Beautiful and clean restaurant. Will certainly return.

We were a party of 5 adults and 2 children eating various meals from the carvery, through the normal menu to the specials board. Varied selection of food selected and all were very good meals. Staff were friendly too, so no complaints from us! We didn't have the carvery, other family members did, but it looked so good (with so much choice aswell as the usual meat selection), we will be calling again soon to try it ourselves!

Party of 10, ages from 2 to 62, had Christmas lunch here. To be honest, after reading previous reviews and never having ate out for Christmas lunch before, was a bit apprehensive. Should not have worried. Very pleasantly surprised. Everything cooked lovely and choice fantastic. Staff friendly and nothing too much trouble. Fab time had by all. Compliments to the chef.

Called in for Sunday lunch with my husband and 3 daughters. Asked for a table and paid for our lunches at the bar, then stood for about 15 minutes waiting to be shown to our table. Another family arrived and were asked if they had booked they hadn't but were quickly seated. We asked the barman where our table was, he pointed to a table in the bar area which hadn't even been cleared. We didn't want to sit in the bar area with our children so we asked for our money back and left.

We chanced upon this place on a wet and windy Sunday afternoon. The car park was full so we thought we'd give it a try. It was busy and clearly popular but the staff were still very helpful and cleared tables quickly and efficiently reset tables into configurations to suit the numbers of parties arriving. We all had the carvery and were impressed with the choice and quality.

Glancing at previous reviews it would seem that maybe this venue has its highs and lows. However on our last two visits the latter has been prominent. We were told during our visit in late July that the place was to undertake a full much needed face lift in early August but it was not evident on entry that anything had changed.A lukewarm welcome , the black (albeit Spotless) tables and drab decor hardly set the mood for any happy occasion.However the well stocked carvery counter looked inviting ,but then it was back to highs and lows, and between our party of four the following conclusions. Portions generous,turkey fine,stuffing balls like sawdust, beef a bit hard going and not helped being carved along the grain, pork not to bad, Yorkshire puddings nice and all veg fine except for the fact it was lukewarm. Roast potatoes ? I don't think they were, but ordered three desserts all came up well presented and hot. So there it is and i am sure some would say why not complain at the time but lets be honest ,anyone working on a carvery counter would be aware if food containers where not up to temperature. And any chef worth his salt would know the quality of meat the moment he put a knife to it. No one asked during the main course anyway and apart from nuke the veg.in the microwave not a lot could be rectified.. Glad that some previous visitors have had a good experience and arrived on a high day and who knows maybe they got a smile. Maybe.

Went here to celebrate a family member's graduation, staff were friendly and organised and the food was fresh with plenty of choices even in an afternoon sitting! Great value and staff are always pleasant and accommodating! Highly recommended for celebrations also!

Arrived after 6 not sure what the food would be like but very pleasantly surprised. The food choice was amazing and cooked to perfection. All the staff were very helpful. Definitely on my revisit list :-)

I visited here for first time last Sunday and was very impressed with the food and the choice they had to offer.I will definitely be coming back again and recommend it to my friend.

5 persons visited for lunch, on initial entrance place looked clean and modern, bemused by the wallpaper being upside down. Polite friendly staff, well presented. Self Serve buffet with the exception of the carved meats and casseroles. Chef needs to lighten up a bit, and actual smile and respond to his customers rather than hold his hand out for your ticket without explanation. However food selection good and veg all topped up and piping hot. GVFM would go back but only visiting relatives in that area. So not a regular venue.

Been here few times for a carvery and never had a bad meal until today,meat very dry,roast pots not cooked,stuffing powdery in the middle not a nice a meal at all,chef/carvery server miserable,on a good note great bar staff and service from them

Went with friends,as we meet quite often here for a carvery never had a bad meal until today was disgusting most of the food wasnt cooked meat was as tough as an old boot really feel disappointed as looked forward to my meal dont think i will be eating here again in the near future . Bar staff very friendly

Went with friends for Lunch excellent choice of food settled on the carverywhich was good value for money and was a great feast

Had a lovely evening out with friends . Restaurant lovely and clean. The young man who served us very polite but difficult to get hold of. Seemed a bit short on staff. Food ok but the chef cut the meat so thin that you could almost see through it and then he scraped up the crumbs to add to it. My husband had too ask for another slice. Also the Yorkshire pudds were quite rubbery. Just as well the company was good.

We visit here very regularly and love it.....went in Saturday night and it was like a different pub!!!! Only 4 casseroles on show, all basic....no cauliflower cheese.....and the chef carved the food no chat....atmosphere gone!!!!! Gutted

Have been to this place on at least 4 occasions and I have had great food (always the carvery) every time. I'm not even sure why this place bothers with the table menu. Seems a waste of time when the carvery selection is so big. It trumps other similar restaurants in the area everytime. There is always a large selection on the carvery including the standard choice of roasts and then a selection of about 8 other dishes from Beef in Red Wine to sausages and onion. The vegetable choice is excellent too and always hot and all is regularly refreshed. The price is good too, in the week its £6.95 per person which whilst more than others in the area you can go back as often as you want, which is actually not as often as you think. Deserts, if you can manage one are very well presented. The staff have always been friendly, whilst I did have an incident there on my last visit, this was with another rather rude set of customers of which the two men pushed in front of me whilst trying to pay. The staff member could have handled this better as a rule but they were quite young whilst the rude customers were rather well built middle aged builder types with Barbie wives.Plenty of parking too although none of it is set up for disabled, you just have to be lucky I guess.The one thing that flummoxes us everytime we visit is the wallpaper, it is very definitely upside down.

Group of four went for husbands birthday, every meal was disgusting. We didn't have a carvery. Lasagne, it was dry and burnt, had very little meat or pasta. Fish n chips fish over cooked n batter burnt, chips hard and ovecooked. Surf n turf, meat tough, chips hard again. Mushrooms overcooked. Gammon .. Slightly over cooked again, chips hard and over cooked and mushrooms burnt. All for a princely price of £45. Used to be a nice meal here unsure what's changed.

cheap and plentiful Often closed later on. book for a sunday. good value. not good seletion of beer, doesn't change

Never had a bad meal here. I like the fact that there is more than just meat in the carvery and like sausage with my main. Would recommend

First time I've been to this pub,we went out for a family meal. It was clean, the staff are friendly ,the food was nice which is always a bonus if that's the reason for visiting. Would return.
