Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday for drinks. The pub is very quaint and food is good (from previous experience) but that is where the positivity ends. We were told on ordering our drinks at 3:35 that this was last orders and they closed at 4 despite all online literature saying 5pm. Not too much of an issue in insolation really these things happen. My husband returned to the bar for crisps to overhear the land lady complaining that she couldn 't get closed up to enjoy the sunshine as people kept coming to the bar. We all have a moan now and again about work but maybe this should be done in private rather than in front of the customers who are here to support your business? Then it went do...

We have been coming here once a month for just over a year as a girls get together catch up. We are aware of the early closing of 10pm. Food was excellent as usual. But the issue we had was being constantly chased by staff, on this occasion, one of our party was a little late for our booked time of 7.30pm. Staff came over and said we needed to order soon as kitchen was closing this was 7.40. At 9.10 staff came and asked us to pay as till was closing. At 9.30pm we were basically told to leave as they were closing. We were outside in the car park at 9.40pm when all the staff left, the doors were locked and the car park lights turned off, leaving us in total darkness. On getting home I checked...
This restaurant had the potential to receive five stars, as the food was very good. However, despite the polite service from the staff, we were disappointed to learn that we could not order mash with a pie instead of chips, and were not allowed extra gravy. The explanation was that they prepare exact portions for each meal choice, and therefore cannot deviate from that. This policy was unexpected and disappointing, as we believe that guests should be able to choose what they want to eat and not be limited by the restaurant's decisions. It was a shame to see such good food let down by this lack of flexibility.
We called last minute to make a reservation for a family of four after being let down by another restaurant. The staff happily accommodated us, fitting us in about 20 minutes later. The restaurant was busy but had a relaxed atmosphere. Our food arrived promptly and was all hot, fresh, and delicious. The standout dish for us was the sticky toffee pudding, which was amazing. Thank you for a great evening. The average cost per person was between £30-40. Book a table now

We popped in here for lunch in early August and the food was great and service excellent, so when back in the area a few weeks later we came for an evening meal with family, and were not disappointed. Well recommended.
The restaurant was not impressive. The food was of low quality and not worth the price. The cost per person was £30–40. The food was rated a 1 out of 5, while the service and atmosphere scored a 3 out of 5.
I visited as a group of four and loved it. Nice big table, good food, fantastic service, and all inside a lovely old building. I wasn't sure what to expect but would visit again if in the area Book a table now
