Food was exceptional, portion sizes to suit Hagrid of Harry Potter! Bar staff friendly and helpful. Drinks choice good and everything was good price. Would recommend the pie and others food looked equally great. Dog friendly. Decor a bit dated but clean and tidy.

I’ve been to this pub a number of times, but on this occasion it failed. Some items on the menu had already run out (late afternoon) or there was only 1 serving left. I felt very sorry for the 2 young staff members serving because they were really caught out in the middle of things. They were just not trained, or experienced enough to know the answers to most of our questions, but were polite enough to say we’ll try to find out an answer. The food we received was really tasty, although it wasn’t necessarily what the individual actually would have preferred to have off the menu.

Orders got a little muddled at times, but nothing we couldn't "swap" to the right plate!

Went for Sunday lunch. Had 3 meat roast and pork and crackling roast.Followed by apple crumble and custard.The food was excellent . The apple crumble was amazing . Served by 2 young girls that were very new to the job, whom I'm sure will get the hang of it after a few weeks. They were very polite , service with a smile but just needed a bit more training. Overall a good meal and will definitely return.

Great atmosphere, food and service. The three of us had halloumi baguette, crispy bacon cob roll and prawn Marie Rose baguette. All orders came with tasty, crispy chips and overall we all agreed the portions were huge for what we were paying. There was lots of space, the decor was a typical pub and very clean all round. Definitely returning to try something else on the menu and will continue to pop in for a drink on our dog walk. Recommend!!

Looks nice from the outside but I found the bar staff incredibly rude, went down on a Wednesday evening after work went to go sit down to see what we all wanted and I was confronted straight away from the bar man who told us we wasnt allowed to sit down until we orderd something I tried explaining that we just got here and was deciding what to have but he wasn't having any of it. So in the end we just left and went to a different place just down the road in countesthorpe which was a very pleasant experience and good beer and food. I can gladly say after my experience I would not reccomend this place or visit again.
