Visited in June as we have just moved to the area. Friendly staff and wonderfull food. I had a haloomi and sweet chili sauce cibatta, hubby had ham egg and chips. Both were nicely presented with portion size just right. everything we needed was brought to the table before the meal which arrived very quickly. Can't recommend them highly enough and will be making this our new local.

Still a great range of ales, but the manager seems to think he can charge what he likes. £4.50 for a pint of green devil is just one example. Have we moved to greater London or something?

Fortunately arrived after the live band had finished. Music usually too loud, of poor quality and pub doesn't really have good acoustics. However, the main reason for all going here is the beer. Supposed to be hand drawn real ale but it was so lively it took ages to settle down and clear and as always was not a full glass of liquid - a huge head due to it not being poured properly. Served in a rush and when she requested the money to pay for the beer , we did not get a please or a thank you.

Had to wait over an hour for food, and was told by lady with dark hair "it wont be long we are busy". That woukd have been ok if there hadnt only been 4 people in when we ordered. When our meal finally came it was of reasonable quality however 4th member of party still had to wait a further 15 mins for his to arrive. The lady behind the bar with the blonde hair was lovely and couldnt apologise enough. She even offered to clean up the mess from our great niece eating when my nephew asked for a brush.

Really disappointed with the service we received at the Thorntree today. We put extra on our parking just to go and grab some lunch, ordered our drinks and was told at the time that there was a thirty minute wait for food. Nearly an hour later the waitress after bringing out one couples food came to us saying that they'd only just got to our order and was starting it now. The place wasn't really that busy when we first got there and food wasn't being brought out until just before the hour waiting. We opted for a refund and left really cross and won't be returning

The food and drinks are very good and well priced. Staff are friendly and helpful. Service is a little slow but that is due to all the food being cooked from fresh. One of my hangups is dogs inside a eating establishment. I've been in the place 5 mins today and there are dogs fighting indoors and barking, irresponsible owners this is the reason for my 4 stars

Now under new ownership, a vast improvement. Exceptional pint of 3 swords pale ale. Cracking landlady too. Enjoyed the rock channel music on tv. Altogether a very pleasant pint in comfortable surroundings.

My friend and I went to see what the refurb had to offer… it was ok. Few rough edges, however designed nice and homely. Ordered from the menu…. 2 lime and sodas £7.80!!!!! Now I am happy to spend but that was the most expensive I have ever paid even London doesn’t charge that!!!! I drink it because it isn’t overly sweet like soft drinks. Not because of cost. So we said food better be good as that would most definitely stop me going again. We ordered a burrito and a burger. Half an hour it turned up. This didn’t bother us too much as we were talking….. well… £37(not inc drinks) and it was stone cold!!! The tots were soggy, burger turned up in a take away carton no cutlery, when I asked I got 1 napkin and a wooden fork!! No offer of sauces. It felt like a greasy spoon had an apprentice arrive on their first day. My friend says the burrito was slightly better but like warm and a bit dry. The atmosphere was non existent, there was a table of regulars with dogs who were spoken to but other that, nothing. Very disappointing. We won’t be bothering again. Last thoughts… overpriced, too slow and needs more ambiance.
