Had a Sunday lunch wasn't the best one I've had there. The roast potatoes were over cooked and then some looked anaemic. The pigs in blankets were over cooked their was four of us and we was disappointed

I have never been to the grange but we stopped for lunch which was absolutely gorgeous. My daughter and I had fish and chunky chips with mushy peas. The fish was really thick with lovely tasty fish and a perfect crispy coating of batter. Her partner had home made stew full of barley with chunky bread. Ideal for a cold day. The assistant manager was friendly polite and helpful and the decor was so nice my daughter was too busy admiring the furniture and contrasting colours to get ideas. I would definitely re visit.

Lovely pub with friendly staff, quick service and a good menu. There is plenty of room and bright inside with a pool table at one end and screens for sports events. Food wise, everyone was pleased with their meals, I had a beef salad with blue cheese and a sundae. They do various events and offers including a Tuesday fish chips and peas with a pint (choice of other drinks) for £12.50 so good value. Definitely worth a visit.

Awful pub Staff are extremely rude, long blonde haired woman in her 30s in particular. We arrived here on Sunday at 6:45 and was told food was still on and we had until 7pm to order. After having a quick look at the menu we went over to the bar at 6:50, nobody come to us until 6:55. We were placing our order with a polite young lad who told us it was ok to order still and we also apologised for it being last minute. Then the snotty girl who walked out the kitchen seen us stood ordering with a menu in our hands and said “kitchen is closed now” we explained to her we’d been told it was ok to order still and it wasn’t 7pm yet to which she ignored. Told the lad off who served us and cowardly got him to tell us that we were unable to eat. My friend is 6 months pregnant and we were getting together for a celebration with a group of people but had been stuck in traffic travelling. We were the only ones unable to eat and we then cancelled ordering a whole round of drinks due to this awful lady’s attitude and decided to not buy anything at all whilst we were there. We sat with our friends for an hour and watched people bring food out for a good half hour afterwards! Definitely won’t be returning here and neither will many of our family and friends due to one staff member

We all left compliments to the head chef who did an amazing job of getting all of the meals out together. Previously had a Sunday lunch here too and that was just as good. We will definitely visit again in the future. The staff make you feel very welcome and the bar and restaurant areas look great.

I bought my son in for lunch - it’s extremely difficult to find somewhere that fully caters for his allergies - however chef Sharon knows his dietary restrictions and is always willing to go that extra step to ensure he has a delicious meal experience- he loves to eat at the grange as knows he’s well looked after and catered for with yummy safe food and plenty of options that aren’t basic like many other establishments- keep up the great work chef shaz… your inclusive menu means my boy never misses out

I cannot recommend The Grange highly enough. My friend and I decided to lift our Monday mood by having our evening meal here and her assistance dog accompanied us. Malcolm welcomed us and showed us to our table. Unlike some other establishments, their statement that it is 'dog friendly' was accurate: a doggy refreshment station with clean water bowls, jugs of fresh water, jars of treats and even pet blankets! The food choice was excellent and the service first class, better than at some other more expensive restaurants. Malcolm was attentive and gave us time between courses. The food was very good and excellent value for money. We look forward to more meals here.
