“We went as a party of 4 booked for 3.15pm on a Sunday. It was really busy when we arrived and was seated after buying our first round of drinks. Unfortunately we were forgotten after we were seated and after about 15 mins or so had to ask for menus. Then we was left a while again. We then flagged a member of staff and they took our order. We ordered starters and mains and the starters came after about 20 mins but then the mains took over half an hour and again we had to ask for an update and was told there had been a mix up with the orders and it wouldn't be long. The food itself was presented well and tasted really good. The portions were plentiful and all fresh produce. We left the pub near to 6pm which was probably an hour more than we anticipated but they are obviously really popular and so just bare that in mind especially on a Sunday if your in a rush or have appointments to be elsewhere. Other than that it was good.”

“I’m usually someone who believes “if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say it at all,” but after our experience, I think it’s important to share honest feedback. Firstly, the positives: The service was genuinely excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and our meals arrived promptly despite how busy the restaurant was. We all ordered variations of the Sunday Roast and the portions were huge. Everything tasted great, and we left feeling full and very satisfied. However, two issues made the overall experience disappointing. 1. The atmosphere created by another group We were a group of four in our late 30s, simply catching up and sharing a few laughs. Despite being respectful, we noticed a nearby group of six repeatedly turning to stare whenever one of us laughed. This eventually escalated to them openly mocking our laughter. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere, where we left early and it did cast a shadow over an otherwise nice meal. 2. Illness after the meal Unfortunately, 3 out of the 4 of us became unwell afterwards, experiencing stomach issues later in the day. While the food tasted delicious, this is obviously concerning. Overall: The staff were wonderful and the food was enjoyable, but between the uncomfortable behaviour from another table and the fact that most of us fell ill afterwards, we won’t be returning and do not recommend this establishment.”
