i have used this pub on and off since it first opened , over the years it has had some brilliant landlords , sadly to say now it's not a very welcoming pub , unless you are one of the regulars who sit in the bar 7 days a week , the brewery owners need to retrain the landlords and there family on hospitality .

Well we read the reviews and thought we would go for a Sunday roast, turned up ordered drinks and it looks a nice place. 30 minutes for the starter and then one hour for the mains ( the plates were hot but everything on them from mash to meat to the veg were stone cold). They took the plates away and we decided to leave. Won't be going back!!

We had children with us so booked quite early but it was very dark in the restaurant even tho it was daylight outside so we had trouble reading menu's. They were very good as we had two birthdays and two cakes to bring out. The bill was extremely confusing we had trouble working out what was what. There were two parts to the bill but there were things on there we hadn't ordered and things we had ordered not on there. We were a party of 8. Maybe they aren't used to large groups.

This was a recommendation from Google maps of places in the area. We had the Sunday lunch menu. It was a good selection of veggies, with carrots, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, two types of potatoes and a Yorkshire pudding also. I took the beef and chicken mixed, the beef was rather dry even after a good soaking of gravy. The beef was well seasoned, and the chicken could have been a little more roasted tbh. Sadly the selection of veg was pretty bland for my taste, I like well seasoned food and veggies need to be cooked on salt to give them depth of flavour, a topical sprinkling after been served does them no justice. I get the English cuisine may tend to be better if it's more bland. A lot of local folks enjoying themselves, not very busy at 15.00 on a Sunday, we might have missed the lunch rush possibly. Service was ok, they left us a little dry after serving, would have been nice to have an additional drink with our meal but we didn't get another check-in to facilitate that. Good value for money, a big portion of beef and veggies. Very much a family oriententated venue, geared to local market which Sean to adore the food. We wish them great success and hope the get the local support which the cater for. Thanks Tin Hat bar & Grill

So went to The Tin Hat with some friends last night for a meal. Haven’t been since before Covid I’m ashamed to say. What a lovely well cooked tasty meal we all had and the staff were a delight. Can’t understand why there weren’t more customers but perhaps its due to time of year. Would definitely recommend this place and will definitely be going back. Thank you to the Tin Hat for a delicious meal

The tin hat was recommended on Facebook by the locals as being amazing fresh from scratch cooking so I was really keen to go after a bad experience of frozen food at another local pub. I went with a friend and we ordered the same chicken burger with hand cut chips, onion rings and salad. It was ok but nothing special, the chips were frozen skin on fries like you get in the supermarket which was really disappointing, onion rings were a lot of batter with hardly any onion. My chicken burger was a whole breast of meat with cheese but I found £1 extra for one strip of cheese very expensive. The salad was one piece of lettuce and one slice of tomato. I was expecting a full salad. They also charge £1.35 for a can of pop which is diabolical. I rang and booked and was told it's definitely best to on a Saturday night as they get very busy. At 6pm we were the only ones in there. At 7pm one other couple came in and by the time we left at 8pm only one more couple..... They were slow to remove our plates considering there was no one else to look after and didn't bring the bill until we asked for it. My friend said her chicken was a bit dry but mine was good. I wouldn't return here and I'm still on the look out for a place with home cooked food

We arranged a funeral wake here. We met the manager in advance to arrange time, numbers and buffet prices. Tom the manager was great and everything went to plan. The staff working that day were great, friendly and obliging. The buffet food was absolutely beautiful. A real good choice and plenty of food. They even plated up a couple of Vegan plates, which were clearly marked. We couldn't had wished for a better venue for the funeral wake. A big thank you to the management and staff for making our sad day a real special day.

Went in with my daughter just before 6pm, empty restaurant. Pleasant greeting from the 2 waitresses, we sat down and one came over, took our drink order, then returned with the drinks and took food order at 6:05pm. 25 minutes later we get our food, which is awful for an empty restaurant. 1 child's sausage n mash and a gammon, not exactly difficult. Sausage n mash was good, gammon was ok except for the fact it was covered in pepper, chips were old and dry, like they had been left under a hot lamp for an hour. Staff not exactly welcoming once we were in, my daughter had to ask twice for colouring pictures, and then when I paid, there was a £1 upgrade charge, sorry if this seems harsh, but after working in this business for almost 30 years, I'd expect better

I booked a table for 4 for a Sunday Lunch on 6th September 2020.Was quite disappointed with our meal. The food was cooked lovely but it was luke warm/cold by the time it reached our table. Before lockdown/change of owners Sunday lunches were plated up and brought straight to the table. Now..... the meat and yorkie arrives on the plate, potatoes and veggies then arrive after in oval serving dishes. Gravy and condiments arrive last.I also found that there wasn't enough to go around a family of 4.Its a real shame as the food is really good. Maybe convert back to plating the meals to keep them hot and theres less time bringing all the items to the table.

Staff in the restaurant are very welcoming and were brilliant with our little boy. We had the chilli paneer starter, chicken chettinad, lamb bhuna and the kids burger meal. All were well cooked and the burger was a handmade patty.The takeaway came very quickly, plus you can order early so perfect for families. The food was just as good as eating in, great alternative to other Indian takeaways in the area.Cannot recommend this place enough!

Second time visiting this lovely pub and what’s happened? Last time we were there in August 21 it was all good but has since been taken over. The lager is flat and the barmaid just tapped the top of my glass which if she knew what she was doing, she’d know that just makes it flatter after a temporary fizz. We had 8 pints and 4 of them were changed so we paid for 8 but they pulled 12 off the pump. The food however was good which is why we’ll give the new people another chance. If they’ve not sorted the draught lager though it’ll be our last visit.
