Really nice clean sitting area, ideal to spend a sunny afternoon. Visited the place around 5:30, slightly quiet since my last visit, but the place was comfortable, affordable, and serves great food and beverages. Good value for the money. Highly recommend the outdoor area. Staff are extremely cheery, attentive and professional, which is always a pleasant experience when visiting. Keep up the good work guys.

Booked a table for two and requested 'restaurant' on the booking, turned up table not ready, given one in the bar. I placed our orders, and the server read them back. Starters were lovely, then the mains came one was correct, the other a chicken pie for a lifelong vegetarian. They profusely apologised, but I ate while my partner watched, and they ate while I watched. The cost of the error was omitted from the bill, plus a discount, but these simple errors of even getting the order right, and actually being able to hear each other, if we were in the restaurant make me doubtful as to if we'll return... would you?

Went for a roast here a few months back and it was absolutely delicious and were so excited to come back.However today we had a completely different experience despite ordering the same two dishes as last time.The roast dinners arrived absolutely swimming in gravy ( now i like gravy but this was far too much!) and the veg and potatoes were soggy and tasteless.The lamb last time was on the bone, a large portion and lovely and this time wasn’t, portion was very small and fatty. The beef last time was tender and delicious but this time was very dry and chewy and there was barely any ox cheek served.The only saving grace was the Yorkshire puddings!We also waited ages for our wine which ended up being served after our food despite us prompting the staff.We were honest with the waitress about how we found our meal in comparison to the last but we were offered no compensation, then had to end up going to the bar to pay the bill as nobody came over at the end!Such a shame, food was amazing before.

£18.50 for a Rump Steak that was possibly the worst steak I have ever had.Served with a mountain of Rocket the Rump steak was extremely poor quailty, tough and fairly tastelessOn the upside, the beer selection is good. Just don't eat here unless you are too drunk to remember.

Great local pub with fab food. Dog friendly, lovely staff, lots of tables both indoors and out. Fun atmosphere, great place for a night out or just to meet for a drink.

Nice setting, with comfortable seats under a patio heater on the patio. Lovely Sunday roasts and excellent selection of beers and wine. Took forever to get served unfortunately - would have liked to try a dessert, but between the kitchen and overburdened wait staff it was a lost cause.

A very nice beer garden. Booking in advance is highly recommended as this is a really nice place. The outdoor seating is very good, with floral decorations and amazing lighting. There is an overhead covering so it is also perfect for a rainy day. The food here is good. The fries are especially good. The burger is average but we came here for the environment but not the food so we think it is acceptable. Good service and reasonable price.

Lovely tucked away pub with spacious seating inside and comfortable, covered outdoor seating. Highly recommend the burger for a main and cabbage as a side dish. Friendly customer service.
