I can't recommend this pub for food at all. Ok if you want a drink and to watch the sport on TV. Tables were sticky and toilets were unclean. Service was slow even though the place wasn't full. We were a table of 9 adults and 3 children, starters for 3 of us took ages and then another long wait for mains. Mostly everyone was ok with their food but the Mixed Grill came without the egg, the steak was charred on one side, chicken was overcooked and too dry. Another order the burger was only warm and this person has reported concerns with a tummy upset today. I had the carvery, the vegetables were only warm, the roast potatoes hard and the pigs in blankets I had to ask for as the server didn't see we'd added them to the order. I believe I had food poisoning, all day from 9am-5pm today I have been very ill. I will never use this place again. Staff were friendly though.

Went here yesterday for my son's 13th. He was so excited to have a pub dinner. Went as a family of 12 and overall the only good thing was the taste of the food and some staff were friendly. Firstly my sister ordered a burger and it was cold, fries were cold, lettuce was dirty. Second- My aunty had the carvery and at the time no concerns, she has today been very sick. Food poisoning from something. Third- the service here is horrendous!! Over an hour we were waiting for food to be done, had to have someone to go up and remind them we hadn't been served yet. With young kids of needs dining too, they can't be expected to wait that long for food. Fourth- the toilets were filthy! Didn't even want my little girl to go back in there to use them. Can't say I would recommend this place to anyone to be honest. As we're local I always wanted to try here, I won't be going back, very disappointed.

This pub is an average of which I’ve been so far. Mostly is super busy so you cannot even get proper seating and the waiting to be served is even more insane. However staff is quite friendly. When is football match it is not point to come in as you will not be able to hear even your own thoughts 💭 thats how loud the TV is. But other than that nice choice of drinks.

Haven’t been in a while but went today while I was waiting for a prescription from boots. Kids eat free so this surprised me, very good value for money. The lady on the front was lovely as she was to every person that stepped through the door- she deserves a lot of recognition and a pay rise for sure! Short hair, took my order, not sure on her name but very bubbly. The meal wasn’t the best, hardly any salad on the burger, had to add more mayo on, wasn’t nicely presented but at the end of the day it’s pub grub so.

Menu is mish-mashed, think your looking at something then read it's only Mon to Thurs, no cod and chips I mean what's with that rest of menu is boring you'd find in every and any pub so I go for carvery then at least you can pick your own to a certain extent and no instruction on queueing for till as it runs through middle of pub alot and restricts you moving around unless you have confidence to just barge through them which could invite violence in people in queue especially after a drink

Carvery, Sunday, good value for money, we're able to request a table, sat in a preferred area. Waitress, Meg, very polite, checked if all was OK with our meals, lovely young lady, helped us out with our request at the end of the meal. Man that serves the meat, very welcoming and amenable, overall pleasant experience, we are repeat customers for Sunday lunch.

When I went in I ordered food but they missed one of the children's meals off the orders, but when I notified staff it was put through quickly so impressed with that. Me and my husband had carvery as we have had this before, this time however, the meat was hot but everything else was lukewarm and Yorkshire puddings looked great had no taste and parsnips were very hard, and very little veg again disappointing and onion gravy they had none

I have always walked past this place and today I thought why not try it. From the get go ordering drinks the lady at the bar was unwelcoming and looked really annoyed asked for a straw for my wife's drink just a resounding NO. Ordered the carvery and the chef bless him no problems was lovely and welcoming but the food ( maybe not his fault ) potatoes were rock solid inside and out, as well as the beef was cooked dry and the gammon had a funny taste and smell I knew from then something was wrong but continued to eat as I didn't want to waste it wrong decision my stomach is in bits now the pint of Guinness I ordered was flat not poured correctly but the lady with the glasses clearing the tables we said bye to when leaving was lovely also finished the drinks by the canal and left didn't want to raise anything there as my wife was worried as we are not locals there so we just left afterwards don't think I will return if I'm honest.

Food was alright. I had a meltdown burger (a burger with a "bowl like" cutout on top bun) which sounded good but once it came It was a dilemma. I can't pick it up as I'll put my fingers in cheese, can't cut it in half as that'll make it pointless and I can't eat it with a knife and folk because I'm not a weirdo who eats a burger with knife and folk. The carvery meat was dry, the veg (whilst tasty) was too salty. The pint of lager was flat. The queue at the bar was long and no one knew if they had to queue or not.

Went here for a meal after bowling with family, have to say was very disappointed to say the least had to wait nearly an hour for the food to come out and when it did come out it was just luke warm instead of being hot my son had a childs double burger which was burnt and the buns were rock hard, my sister in law had the gammon which made her feel sick after she'd eatn some because it tasted funny. Spoilt a a good night out all in all never had an issue with food in the past to be honest don't think I'll be coming back again.

Haven't been here in a while tried today was very busy sat down for food after food came we noticed a nasty cold draft coming past our table making the meal uncomfortable asked to be moved but they couldn't had to ask for a refund as it was ruining the experience I'd say food was mediocre today though it as been outstanding in the past just a very disappointing visit and won't be coming back any time soon avoid table infront of the carvery if you don't like constant chill down your back while eating all caused by the outside front and back door being locked open meaning the inner doors swinging open and closed due to the wind I don't get why at the start of spring what's the temperature barely getting above 10 ° probably much lower with the wind chill factor you would lock the doors open where's the amount of cars parked out the front then you get guests coming in waiting to be seated holding the inside front doors open Force in the back doors to swing open as well it was really uncomfortable experience which could have been avoided according to staff it's something they know about but can't do anything about would have been better off eating outside really you should be doing better than providing that sort of experience I've had a great time here in the past so again very disappointed
