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.

My five friends and I had a really delicious breakfast on Boxing Day. Everything was perfectly cooked, nice and hot and plenty of it. Orders got a little muddled at times, but nothing we couldn't "swap" to the right plate! Our compliments to the chef, for a lovely meal and thank you to the young girls, who served us with a smile, in a cosy Christmas atmosphere. We'll done to all.

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!!

Shan’t be going there again! If anything, the food was worse than under the previous landlords. Chicken schnitzel and no ginger beer shandy, only lemonade. The chicken was on the whole, tough. Such a shame as the location is perfect.

There is a good selection of drinks and tasty bar menu if your looking for food. There is a dart board in the main bar area and a good size restaurant at the rear. We are not from the area but if we were back local again we would look to return

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.

We ordered our food to be delivered was told it would be 40-60 mins 75 mins later we rang ti be told there was a problem with delivery car but food was on way. Another 20 kins later the food arrived cold no apology from the driver he just shrugged and walked away we tried to phone the restaurent but they wouldn't answer. Very disappointed even a phone call to let us know with an apology would have been all we needed. Will think twice when ordering a Chinese meal again
