The food was actually ok and fresh! The staff member can only imagine it’s the owner was unbelievably rude & unhelpful we are staying here for the weekend so we are not local - she seemed friendly to the locals! Our money is just as good as anyone else’s and some courtesy would not go a miss! HOW CAN YOU NOT UNDERSTAND COD & CHIPS??? Unbelievable rudeness! Avoid if your not local!

At last, I've found a decent chippy near my home. It was recommended by a neighbour and has certainly lived up to my expectations, so I'll be back. Located on the edge of Bury with easy parking outside this spotlessly clean chippy is brilliant. They serve the traditional range of fare that you used to find at all chippies back in the day, including my fave, rock eel. Thankfully not a kebab in sight! With everything cooked to order there's a small wait but well worth it. I truly can't find fault with this plaice ;) Highly recommended!!

Went for our annual work Christmas Dinner. Given a welcome drink of prosecco or elderflower, as the non-alcoholic option on arrival. The elderflower was scarcely present, unfortunately there was little difference between it and lukewarm water. Seemed to take an age to be taken through to the dinning hall, despite apparently needing to be at the venue for 6.30. There was no option to open a bar tab - at the bar which had no coke, no lime cordial, no white tequila, only one white wine - so it was complete chaos trying to organise buying the drinks! Eventually taken through to a very nicely laid out dinning hall and seated. Those who wanted another drink before our meal had to go back upstairs, after finding me to come and pay for it. Very inconvenient. The meal started to come out after 8pm - everyone was really hungry. The starter choice was a fig tart, or prawn cocktail. The prawn cocktail was absolutely miniscule - 3 prawns in a little sauce on a little lettuce leaf, it's a good job there was a small bread roll at each place setting! A good 30 minutes after rhe starter had been cleared the main came out - turkey (which was cooked nicely) 3 tiny new potatoes (no roast potatoes) a couple of sprouts, carrots and parsnips, with gravy. A very very disappointing 'turkey roast' without roast potatoes or stuffing. Dessert was either Christmas pudding or raspberry and lemon trifle, which consisted of 3 squares of soggy jellied sponge, some green dots and a spot of custard covered with a squirt of cream. In no way did it resemble a trifle. Even getting a tea or coffee was not possible until the station was 'opened' thought there was no indication whatsoever that it was closed until 9.30! When a member of staff was asked we were told that the doors are closed and nobody should be out there trying to get hot drinks until it was announced as open. All in all a very disappointing meal served by mainly surly servers. The evening lacked any kind of Christmas feel about it from start to finish. Won't be going back or recommending

Very rude landlord not at all sympathetic to an autistic young adult whom had never been in a pub before wasn’t sure what he was doing, was told to leave as he didn’t speak to the landlord on entry and didn’t order a drink straight away he was finding his bearings as being autistic was in a very unfirmiliar atmosphere

Noticed the one of my old teenage haunts was open again, and what a lovely surprise. A very friendly and informative owner/brewer made us feel very at home and three pints of the wonderfully tasty Xocolatl Ale was just what the doctor ordered. I was sorely tempted to make my way through his wide array of beers, but could not resist this pale ale combined with cocoa nibs…can’t wait to be back in Suffolk again!

At first we were really unhappy as we were told we could not order from the festive menu, which I didn't think was hugely obvious when I made the booking online. However our waitress went out of her way to accommodate us and we got our festive menu dishes (which were lovely) and we even got crackers! It was still a bit disappointing for my friend though that she couldn't have new potatoes as they are now cooked with the chips so are not suitable if you're avoiding gluten. Surely any chef can boil potatoes in some water, or steam them? Anyway overall we had a nice time, the food was good vfm and the staff friendly and helpful.

The usual "spoons" standard Food and drinks were all good value Service was great the bar are serving staff were happy to help Sadly there was some form of issue that there was an excessive amount of little black fly's. We relocated to another part of the bar, the following evening the fly infested area was closed off.

Went for Sunday roast. Asked for turkey but it wasn’t carved off the bone like all the places we have been too. Instead it looked like processed meat on a roll. I was cut 2 very thin slices but that was ok as it was so bland and tasteless that I left it. The rest of dinner was ok except for rubbery parsnips, they were not crisp or roasted at all/ much. The desert was very nice. It’s a lovely pub in a pretty town ( thought it was a village but it seems Clare is a small town) We would go back for drinks in the garden as that was pleasant but not for Sunday dinner.

Recently went with friends for my birthday - excellent meal as always. Food was hot and delicious - and their portions are more than generous. Try their Eton Mess Sundae its amazing. Have booked with friends for their Christmas Festive Menu, but will probably be back before then. Can highly recommend this pub for their meals which are excellent value for money and friendliness of the staff
