We booked a table and my husband and I had the most delicious Sunday lunch on 21/9/25 We both had the beef which was really tender, the roast potatoes where crispy and tasty, the mash was good and so too was all the veg and a crispy Yorkshire the gravy was really tasty too a real homemade Sunday lunch which ticked all the boxes for us. Would 100% recommend eating here. We will definitely be coming back here again. The service was spot on too with a friendly and a nice atmosphere

Food was top notch couldn't fault it more than enough

Rang to book a table but told they had nothing. My friend went on line and booked like 2 mins after . So dont understand. Plus was lots of empty tables . Food was lovely and service was good

Came here last night with 4 friends & really enjoyed it. Food was lovely & staff were great especially the 2 Lynne’s, had a gid laugh with them & 1 was very patient when we were ordering food, asking loads of questions & couldn’t decide what to chose as menu is amazing & has so many choices. Deffo going back for main menu & Sunday lunch. We were all too full for dessert but there was a good choice.

Staff were lovely, couldn’t help enough. Food was beautiful. Huge portions.

Excellent food, service and experience, will definitely be back

Outstanding food as always. Hard to choose what you want as it’s all so beautiful. Chef is an absolute credit to this place. Staff are always attentive so welcome will be back again soon.

Excellent quality, excellent service will defo revisit

Firstly, amazing staff that looked after our every need. Secondly......the food. Amazing food, all well cooked and presented. Will deffo be back. 5 stars

First time we have been but definitely not the last. The lamb chops were very nice but it needed more veg and less potatoes, maybe some cous cous. However everyone should go for the hanging kebab as it was outof this world. The potatoes and salad were brilliant and a great accompaniment to the star of the show. The best hanging kebab I have ever had. Fast service and friendly. Well worth a visit.

We visited the restaurant on the 6th September & it was our 1st time here & we will definitely be back. The food was next level for "pub grub". People need to realise that is a pub so the atmosphere is a pub atmosphere and not that of a restaurant. The staff were very busy but this didn't hinder the service they provided. It was great service and they were very accommodating as we didn't know what to choose & we had a Gluten Free member of our party. Will definitely be returning

Food was very nice, staff friendly and prompt to take your order. We asked for a child portion for an adult who doesn’t eat a lot, waitress had to ask kitchen staff if this was ok. (It was) overall great experience apart from the big group next to us were really loud I wanted to go and ask them to be a bit quieter but after all you are in a public house so we just got on with eating our meals (4 adults).

We came Saturday night really busy but we were looked after from start to finish lovely ,my meal was 1 of the sizzler meal which was beautiful my wife had a tandoori dish which she didn't really enjoy the chicken wasn't cooked properly which was a shame has it was our 1st anniversary married and I'd being promising to take her .The experience won't put us off snd I hope to come again

Staff were really friendly and the food was amazing. Great selection and generous portions.....second time here and we will be back

First visit with my husband and won't be our last. We had Sunday dinner and had delicious meals especially gravy all the trimmings couldn't ask for more got served quickly and meals were lovely and hot. Also got a pudding to take away which was equally lovely. Thanks to staff for kind and quick service as pub was very busy. We will be back and highly recommend your pub and meals. Danielle and Paul Weston:)

Went on Sunday gone my wife got gammon dinner the veg was realy hard I got fish and chips the batter was way to thick and the pork crackling was like rubber chewing it must of been bought in also the colliflower cheese was rock hard

Overall the meal was good, however, it was slightly spoilt by the gravy been very salty. The service and staff were brilliant.

Food was amazing as always. For the portion sizes and qualityof food and ingredients it is value for money. There was a large group of us and staff were accommodating, nothing was a problem at all. Was easy to split the bill as we could pay separately at the bar. I didn't need to eat again until around 8pm after having lunch at 1.45pm
