I have visited this restaurant several times for their delicious traditional Sunday roast. During lockdown, I resorted to getting takeaways, but I must say that the dining experience is much better. The portion sizes can be quite generous, so we often opt for a kids portion with some extras. The staff are friendly and always accommodating to our requests. The food is always cooked fresh, so there may be a wait. I recommend calling ahead, booking a table, and placing your order in advance to expedite the process.

We waited for a long time even though we were the only ones dining in at the time. The food was just okay, but the onion rings were the standout dish.

The staff were friendly enough, but other patrons were using a lot of swear words, making the atmosphere unpleasant. Overall, we wouldn't go back mainly because of the atmosphere and how cold it was inside.

This charming pub is a great spot to host a function. The food was delicious and served in perfect portion sizes. It seemed like they may have been a bit overwhelmed by the large party sizes, as some dishes came out at different times. For example, while I was finishing my main course, someone else in my group was just being served. However, overall, the food was delicious and had that classic pub-cooked taste.

Waited nearly 45 mins even though the restaurant was empty. Pastry on steak pie tough and chewy, filling more gristle than meat. Green beans were not al dente they were raw. Mash potato was in a solid unappetising pile and gravy was very lumpy. Have had a good roast there in the past but shall not be returning. Very disappointing. Book a table now

Standard pub. Only one ale, Doombar which was reasonable. Plenty of outside seating, although mostly close to a busy road.
