Been here twice in the last few weeks, once for an all you can eat breakfast, which I have to say was bloody excellent, very good selection of fried food and a decent selection of pastries and fruit, would definitely recommend the breakfast. The second time was for the carvery, which I have to say I was very disappointed with, potatoes were under cooked as was most of the veg. Meat was decent, I had beef and pork which were both OK, there was NO crackling left, even tho they had 1 and a half joints still under the heating lamp, neither of which had any crackling on, surely the people not having pork should not be allowed crackling in my eyes anyway. The service was very poor, on 2 or 3 separate occasions the staff were behind the bar laughing whilst on their phones, all this whilst ours plates were on the table festering and begging to be collected, it took over 30 minutes after we had finished eating for the plates to be cleared away, and then another 10 minutes for them to ask if we would like to see the pudding menu. The wrong menus were given to us and when the correct ones were delivered and we had decided what to have we were the informed that there was no Fish and chips which 3 people had decided to have, and were then disappointed to be told there was no fish. We were also given the wrong kids menus, and having an autistic grandchild being told that the cheese burger wasn't available today when its on the menu we were given wasnt great. Pudding eventually were served and were good. I personally think there are better carvery/roasts in the area, so probably won't return for the carvery. Drinks came out and were wrong, and we were charged for an extra pepsi. Also ordered an extra kids pizza and chips that came out and was luke warm at best. Another kids pizza and chips was ordered for our autistic grandson but without chips as he won't eat them, the pizza arrived and came with chips, luckily we removed the chips before he'd seem them as he would of had a meltdown if he'd seen them on his plate.

I would definitely recommend the breakfast here, but certainly not the carvery.

Nice oldie atmosphere, good inner decor. It was a quiet night but the room was reasonably sized. Would be good for a family or group get together.

The location is local to us. When we visited we was nearly the first customer's to arrive so place was calm and quiet. We throughly enjoyed our meals and excellent portion size for what you pay for. Our table server Faith went above and beyond to make our afternoon a pleasurable visit. Thank you Faith.

Had we known they had a wedding we would never have booked. The food was average for a pub but having to wait in a cold drafty room for almost 2 hours for our food was disappointing. Even the free drinks didn't help. We were disappointed when we asked how long desserts would take, we were told we couldn't have any.
We had heard good things about this pub. All I can say is the staff were nice.

Run out of food, all you can eat buffet wings and things. Staff were friendly. Not sure I'd waste my money going again.

My wife and I had dinner...she had the pate and Mediterranean tart, I had the garlic mushrooms and pie of the day. Staff were friendly and helpful overall. Our 2 drinks were not available unfortunately...Earl Grey tea and no beer at all! The pate was nice and generous portion; the mushrooms were a bit gloopy and not very well presented. My wife enjoyed the tart and the steak and Guinness pie was quite nice, although the volume of meat was far too much...they could have made 2 pies with this! Overall, not bad and we'll probably come back to try the carvery in future.

Lovely country pub serving good food in a nice location. Our server Keeleigh was very friendly and attentive. The food was tasty and the portions are generous. They even have a dog-wash in the car park for cleaning off muddy pups. Recommended.
