As an affordable, and family friendly venue, it was an easy choice to come here over the past few years, but it's been getting progressively worse, to the point where it's not worth giving it anymore chances. There's never enough staff to seat people, take orders, or even refill the cutlery trays. The wait for food has extended, to the point on the last sitting it took 30 minutes for 2 burgers and 2 kids chicken nuggets. When it did arrive, half the food on each place was blazing hot, with the other half stone cold. The kids ice cream, however, was extremely prompt where it turns up 5-10 after the mains were finally delivered, whereby we still had kids with plates full of food. The waitress looked confounded when we suggested we weren't ready yet, and that perhaps we'd like her to take them away and keep them cold. This was once a promising place to grab a quick bite to eat with the family, but unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend eating here anymore.

Visited on Saturday evening and what a disappointment. We visit Greene King restaurants regularly and usually have a pleasant experience but not at this one. We were allocated a booth that basically needed replacing. The seating was ripped and it was a good job there were only 3 of us, as there was no way that section could be sat on. Thr light above the table wasn’t working, so to actually read the menus we had to use a light on the phone. The table was sticky and not hygienic, as I always carry wipes, I cleaned it myself. We would have asked to move but the other tables looked no better! The drinks were dumped at end of the table where the tray remained until we left! When the food arrived, one of which was a rump steak, the server advised ‘we usually give a steak knife but we ain’t got none’ and the Chicken Tikka portion size was only fit for a child! To top it all off the server then started clearing the table when 2 of us were still eating! Extremely poor customer service and wholeheartedly unpleasant experience. Very unlike the other Greene King establishments we visit.

Went for a Friday evening meal with my partner. We ordered drinks through the app as we were sat outside, 25 minutes later they had not arrived. My partner went in to speak to the bar staff. The person behind the bar appeared in a world of her own, it wasn’t busy at all and she appeared not to know what my partner meant by online order even though there was a big screen with our order in red. She made no effort to apologise and was actually quite rude considering. Fine, one off we thought and decided to stay for food. Our food came quickly, the wait staff were friendly and helped us when we put the wrong table number. However again, the drinks don’t arrive… 15 minutes go by… then 25. This time I went up to the bar and the same woman was there - no one apart from me was waiting and she ignored me for at least 5 minutes and was speaking to someone on her mobile phone. I then asked about our drinks … again on the board in red. Shockingly someone was actually waiting for longer than us - 30 minutes! The bar woman appeared not bothered about this, no sense of urgency or any effort to apologise for there being such a delay (honestly, it was very quiet in there and there was no apparent reason for the delay apart from her lack of care about her job) Disappointing experience and left soon after. Shame as have been here before and it’s been alright, I would encourage Greene King to provide further training for your bar tender (shorter lady, brown hair and glasses working on 20.09 at 7.30pm on the bar) to avoid this happening again, and I would advise anyone who goes to visit to check who’s on the bar first!!

This is a good Hungry Horse pub, it's appearance in the UK is unusual as looks like a former car or retail showroom, but once inside has a great pub feel to it. Spacious seating areas with an upper level and adults only section with large screen TV, pool table, darts & bar. Some interesting artwork on the walls reflecting elements of local heritage and a good selection of drinks from the bars. Classic comprehensive Hungry Horse menu with meals & desserts for everyone's tastes. Ample free car parking right on the pub's doorstep and children's outdoor play area. Service was good each time we visited and hopefully new visitors will enjoy here as much as we did.

Took around 20 mins to get served a drink as no staff in place. Got served a flat moreti, and when going back had to wait back in the Que even after telling staff my beer was flat to get this changed. Also noticed a couple trying to order food and being told they’re not allowed to order food in the area where the pool tables are as not enough staff, but then witnessed many people having food delivered right to them there which I found odd. Not a pub I’ll be visiting again

An honestly abysmal experience. I will say the manager was nice, she appologiesd and refunded us. Sadly its a bit too little too late. The major issue was them serving my vegetarian partner meat gravy on her vegetarian meal. This is a massive deal. But were they to mess up a dietary restriction for an allergy it could have been much worse than just being very upset. Additionally the place was not clean, the cutlery was filthy, as is the cutlery drawer (see pic). The toilets were broken, leaking urinal, busted locks and in dire need of a deep clean. The attitude of many of the staff was disinterested at best, dismissive at worse. The waiter couldn't figure out where food might go, even when everyone had a dish except one, he still seemed confused where it might go. The kitchen team and waitress couldn't quite figure out if gravy is vegetarian, and it took a manager to help them. The playground is currently broken, not thier fault but it was annoying. So we tried to get the kids to do the advertised activity pages on the menu, to which the staff said they had no pencils or crayons, with a half hearted shrug. I'd have expected then to acquire some or get something as people arriving with kids might expect this. Eventually I relented to my children to use the claw grabber machine, which it turns out is also broken, taking my money but not working. Finally the quality of the food I did get was so bad I didn't finish it. I should not be surprised as it came out so quickly it must all be pre prepared and microwaved. The vegetables were soggy and old (see pic), the mashed potato blob was cold and had a skin, the turkey was so dried I could barely swallow it. Whole heartedly do not recommend this place. Edit to add a response to the companies weird request to "understand how to improve". It should be obvious to anyone in the industry but here you go; Don't give meat products on labelled vegetarian dishes, train your staff to understand food requirements, clean everywhere better, starts with a deep clean, do the cutlery tray daily, inspect/clean toilets hourly, fix maintenance issues quickly, train staff in customer service, ensure supplies of non consumables are adequately stocked. As for the food quality, train chefs better and cook fresh. Hope that helps...

Unable to properly rate the food as was never able to order. As advertised, there was a gluten free breakfast menu available- but when we went up to order we were told they were out of gluten free bread. This is a half an hour after opening and with Aldi across the road, mind you. I pointed out that all options available on the gluten free menu contained toast and therefore was nothing possible to order? I was given simply a shrug. It seems the waiting staff don’t much care for gluten free customers and so lost out on business. Their loss.

Being open until 12a,m gives one the chance to shop anytime. Between 7p.m to 12a.m is the best time to shop Monday to Saturday as there are not many people about. If you are disabled then you can ask to use one of two disability scooters to make your shopping experience that much more comfortable and can pick the key up at the cigarette counter, just inside the main entrance to the right. If you have a clubcard then you can get some great savings on your favourite items. The staff are very helpful and attentive. They also have a reduced section where you can get goods at cut prices. All in all shopping here is a great experience.

Somehow, i was confused in punjabi and vegetable samosa that made the wrong order😕. I wanted typical Indian samosa, which should be punjabi according to the menu. But I ordered vegetable samosa. So, on the basis of that, it was good ( more oily than expected)but not very good. Vegetables were in good quantities.
