First visit after several years. Very disappointing. No menu flexibility, limited wine choice. Rather a waste of a nice room. Guess they don't get many returning customers.
Went in here by chance. What a lovely pub with friendly efficient staff. My friend and I only needed a small meal and drink but there was a good selection and it was served quite quickly and was delicious.
Staff weren’t that friendly and looked like they would rather be anywhere but there. got the vibe they don’t like children also from watching them with other families. Food was a bit disappointing, lacked flavour and quite expensive for what you get. The actual place was very clean though.
Veg samosa starter was a bit disappointing (a bit too oily) but the mains more than made up for that - tasty and well sized. Really good food. Just avoid the samosas. Staff were super.
Had lunch here today, we went for the shared fried seafood platter and were extremely disappointed, firstly not an adequate amount of food for 2, calamari was tasteless and very chewy, scampi also tasteless, just 2 deep fried tiny prawns, whitebait ok but over fried, the salad with it was very sad looking not very fresh at all, brown pieces of lettuce. Not a very pleasant lunch indeed x
The burger pattie was over cooked as was the bacon. Cheese was tasteless. Good bun, salad topping and sauce, a relish would have been nice option. Plenty of proper chips. Onion rings again tasteless. There were several other burgers on the menu and specials board.
My wife enjoyed the Cajun chicken.
Beer and wine were good.
Service was excellent.
We were in town exploring the area and had dinner here. We received excellent service but our main reason for reviewing was to comment on the quality of the food. We started with the garlic bread - it was delicious and the garlic seemed very fresh. My wife had a garden salad with her entree and she commented on the freshness of the tomatoes and other ingredients. I took a couple of samples and agreed that it was very flavorful. My wife had their flat bread of the day which was roasted asparagus with buffalo mozzarella. She thought the entree was delicious and she commented again on the ingredients. I went with their steak and welsh ale pie and was delighted by both the pastry top and the fillings - it was much better than a similar pie I had had earlier in Cheltenham at a higher end restaurant. We finished with their chef dessert which was a homemade rhubarb and apple crumble - the crumble and the flavor were very good. Overall we will eat here again during our short stay and would recommend the restaurant to others seeking well prepared quality food.
