I came here for my birthday lunch and we were very happy. The food was amazing and very good value for money. We were sat next to the fire and it was so lovely and cosy. Also the staff were lovely and the lady who was bringing our food over was so amazing! I don't know her name but please do let her know that she was great. We will definitely be returning.

Vastly improved from the period before the pandemic . Good range of meals at a sensible price - particularly the set lunchtime options - and now have some vegan choices too. Not the huge range of real ales from the distant past, but still able to buy a decent pint - especially Mondays and Thursdays at £2.99 per pint! Friendly staff, too. November update:Just had a great lunch there today, and tried the mixed grill - it was amazing! I wasn't expecting to be given so much good quality and well cooked meat! Have never had a better mixed grill anywhere!

Popped in for a pint after long trek early afternoon, great beer but spoilt by a parking fine I have just received. Never expected to pay for parking in a pub this is a first for me, very disappointed. Neither of us noticed any sign about this and nothing at the bar. I noticed I am not the only one who has had a parking fine.

Friday night and a busy pub, but despite that service was great. We were told that the kitchen was busy and it could be 45 minutes before we got our food, but it appeared maybe 20 minutes later, all 5 people served at the same time. And it was very good. We're not familiar with Ember Inns, so for us the menu was, refreshingly, a little different to most of the other chain pub restaurants. We will definitely visit again.

Have driven past many times and decided that we must give this place a go. Wish we hadn't bothered! The menu is quite limited and what makes it even worse is that both of us have issues with peppers - capsicum and chilli . Only one thing on the menu that I liked and didn't have some form of pepper in it. On the upside hubby had a burger that he really enjoyed but apart from that, considering that the venue is overlooking the creek with an abundance of swans, the food is a complete let-down. Won't bother going back as there are plenty of other venues in the area with more extensive menu's that don't seem to be dependent on peppers!!

The food was good,the bar staff very good let down unfortunately by the person on the door.When we arrived she was deep in conversation and did not acknowledge us at all.Most of the tables had reserved signs on so carefully choose one that didn't.Ordered our drinks were given menu's by bar staff,was in the middle of ordering,when the women who had not acknowledge us earlier came over and asked if they were our coats on the table.I said yes and she said you will need to move the table is reserved,I said we were not aware it was and she said we have put a cutlery box on the table that says it's reserved.I did not argue just moved my coat and found another place outside which was very pleasant.My friend however said to her that we were unaware that the table was reserved as it had no sign and perhaps in future she might put a reserved sign on it.She just said well you should have waited to be seated anyway.I found her attitude very rude the young man who brought our food seemed almost embarrassed that we were spoken to in such a way.Won't be going for food there again if she is on.The pub was empty when we turned up so what was her excuse for not coming up politely explaining the system earlier not waiting till the people actually turned up.Suggest she takes a hospitality course.

Had a family dinner at The Bugle Hotel this evening and was really impressed with the food and service. Children’s burger and Children’s Chicken Nuggets all homemade and top quality. Fajitas were lovely and home made lasagna was the best for miles around! Prices were very reasonable and will definitely be back again!
