Lovely friendly pub.Excellent food

Me and my mum visited on a Sunday lunchtime and both got the small Sunday lunch then Apple pie & custard. The food was excellent everything was cooked really nice and tasted lovely the small was big enough for us as we don't eat large portions our server was Neive she was fantastic very attentive even though she was busy and nothing was too much trouble very friendly young lady , all the other staff where lovely and a credit to the business owner. This pub is welcoming friendly and offering fantastic home cooked food if you haven't tried it yet it's most definitely worth a visit Thank you we will be back ! Zoe & Bev xx

Once more, a great meal at a reasonable price. Had my favourite chicken and black pudding melt accompanied by an excellent pint of Thwaites Original. Good service by friendly staff.

Lovely, relaxed atmosphere. Good food. Good service. Friendly staff (and customers!). Would highly recommend.

Always good food and pleasant and helpful staff

We enjoyed our meal in pleasant surroundings with lovely staff.

We dined here as we have eaten a good Sunday roast previously at The Trader’s Arms. A rather plain menu ,but with well cooked food . We shared a main course of ribs as a starter .Tasty and plenty for two. Main courses were pepperoni pizza and a steak pie with chips and peas. Again ,plenty of good quality food. We decided to treat ourselves as it was a special anniversary and ordered strawberry trifles. These were disappointing. Hardly any sponge fingers.The jelly was over diluted and the custard seemed tinned! The service was excellent though. Polite, thoughtful and experienced.The general atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

My steak pie was lovely as usual but it seemed much smaller than last time Fine for me but it wouldn't have been enough for my husband especially as the chips were bland and unappetising tonight. He enjoyed his ribs plus fries and salad, said they were the best he'd had but was not impressed with them being served on a wobbly board. Why do chefs still do this? Service was excellent, our waitress was very pleasant and attentive.

As always our food was excellent, no complaints there. However the service was disappointing. There were only two serving drinks and food, their job made more difficult with customers sat outside and coming in and out for drinks. They did their best but were overwhelmed at times.

Fabulous food service and ambience

Fabulous food service and ambience

We came as a party of 4 to celebrate my husband's birthday. We had a great time! The waiting staff were lovely, two very pretty, pleasant young ladies. The food was superb, and the drinks very reasonably priced. Great service rounded off a really nice Sunday lunch, and we will definitely be back.

Very disappointed with our meals and service, something had gone horribly wrong. It took 2 hours to serve mains and a desert. The chips were awful, soggy and tasteless, surely they should be getting chips right! The steak pie was so small for the price and the pastry was soggy, £16.50 for small piece of pie, soggy chips and garden peas is ridiculous. The waitresses were stood around chatting with drinks in their hands. This place has gone downhill since we last visited.

As always a lovely meal, pleasant staff and good atmosphere.

Absolutely brilliant Mothers Day meal. We had the Cotes De Boeuf special which we requested and it was fantastic. Thanks Chef. Kids meals and starters were also great and they went down a treat. Service is spot on as always by Linzi and the team and you always like you are getting great value for money. Thanks everyone for an enjoyable experience.

Absolutely fantastic food ambience and service was absolutely packed out and deserved to be
