Sunday lunch. A table for four adults. Main courses : Our friends ordered the beef which arrived four slices, acceptably sized. My partner and I both ordered the pork belly. When the plates were placed before us, we were taken-aback as to how little pork there was in this dish, and that had been decided as being a reasonable amount. Two ‘fingers’ of meat each, we approximate as being about 3cm x 10cm x 1cm. Beef being a more expensive meat than pork, we couldn’t understand why we were given so little, and certainly not an amount which lived up to expectation, nor considered your money’s worth, no matter how nice a plate may look. On top of that, we were genuinely astounded at the bowl of vegetables (swede and kale) which was placed on the table for us to somehow share. There was so little of it, you would have thought it were intended for two. I checked with the waitress to see if there was another one coming, but she said ‘no. That is the amount for four people. We said to the waitress who went off, but no one returned to address this. (We think that speaking to the chef was mentioned, particularly with the lack of meat). We waited, said to another member of staff, and after nothing had happened, I stopped the man who looked as if he were the manager. We explained our dissatisfaction and he arranged for more vegetables to turn up, which was good, only that he didn’t address the lack of pork. For what we had, the food was enjoyable and skilfully cooked, but having to raise these issues with more than one member of staff, with one issue being overlooked or ignored, although we paid the added 12 1/2% tip, we still don’t feel that we are totally satisfied with the service or value for money.

First time here today, what a fantastic experience, service first class, staff friendly, food exceptional , had my 90 year old mum with me, whilst waiting for Uber, local man Simon and Mark kindly bought us a drink while we waited, cannot fault this Pub, visit as soon as you can & i promise you will not be disappointed , cannot wait to return .
