Booked for Valentine's lunch and got our first view of the changes to the pub, which are very impressive. We both really enjoyed our food and the service was excellent. Will be returning soon.

Starter nice, I did send my main meal back as chicken quite pink but dealt with by staff.

First time here. It was a great experience. Food excellent and good atmosphere. Staff all very friendly. First oyster experience for my daughters.

Really pleasant surprise when we turned up on Valentines day after not being for a long time. The new refurbishment looks really well and welcoming. nice and spaced out so you are not sitting on top of the table next to you. Really friendly staff. The food was really lovely. We will be back. A little bit dearer than i would have expected but was very nice.

Booked for Valentine’s and enjoyed the whole experience-we didn’t feel rushed as we had booked for 8.30 and would be the last at our table.The food was lovely and great portion sizes.Overall very happy with the service.

Lovely atmosphere and great food. The time restrictions meant we were on edge the whole time - we were reminded twice of the 1.5 hour policy; once on arrival and again when we were finishing our meals. Turning tables is fine, - ordering needs to be quicker (and slicker) with timely service to avoid the ‘rushed’ feeling.

Unfortunately on this visit the food was not to the standard we expected, the fish pie was too runny and the pieces of fish too small, the seasonal veg were boring would have been improved with some butter. The beef burger was very lacking in flavour and the fries not as nice as the ones we had on the last visit. A real Shane as we rated really highly on our last visit

Huge change from the old whitchaff! You wouldn’t recognise it.. the food was excellent but few vegetarian/vegan choices.. it has a good atmosphere and staff were attentive and friendly. Reasonable value as well. We would recommend the whitchaff to freinds and family.

The food was great as usual and thank you for bringing the 2 cakes out and for catering for our party of 20 people. Just one small negative which was the talking point after the meal. We were rushed off our table by a quite rude waitress, this after you made us wait 20-30 mins for our table in the first place! Disappointing end to a wonderful meal!

Sadly the service let this place down. The food was good but an hour and 10 mins wait on food is a bit excessive, especially with a 7 year old. The front of house staff couldn’t have been more apologetic but there was nothing coming out of the kitchen quick enough. We were not the only table complaining! This is the second time my partner had visited since the upgrade and he had the same experience first time round.

What a beautiful refurbishment, staff & food was very good.

The food was good, the staff were very friendly but our order wasn't taken for a good twenty minutes and we weren't told that the Sunday lunchtime booking was an hour and a half per table until we were too slow choosing a dessert. If we had chosen to have starters, I don't think we could have been served and eaten 3 courses in the time allowed.

lovely food, good atmosphere, the service was excellent the people who served are table, were very welcoming and efficient. we would recommend.

We have been comeing to you now for a while and never had a bad experience staff are wonderfully can't do enough for you so food is supper always hot and ready tasty thankyou to all of the staff made my birthday meal brill

Lovely food, but service wasn't the best. Had just finished our meals when a member of staff approached telling us we had to leave in 15 mins because they needed the table. Wouldn't mind but we booked for 12.45 and it said we had two hours, yet were asked to leave no later than 2.15? Friend also found two hairs in her pasta. Wouldn't recommend. Shame it used to be fab.

Great food and service, will be coming back

Lovely meal and great service.
