Having visited regularly, our Sunday lunch experience was not a pleasant experience. We did not get a warm welcome on arrival and we were shown to a table set for 4, there were only 3 of us. The extra setting was not cleared until after main meal had been taken away. When the roasts arrived our parsnips were raw and we were not approached to see how our lunch was and there were no staff nearby to catch their eye to complain. My husband had to go up to the bar and complain. New parsnips were brought out after we had all finished our roasts. No apology was forthcoming just a huff from the manager when we said they are too late as we had finished! A 10% service was added to our bill which my husband paid without checking so all in all a very dissapointing experience.

Food overpriced for what it is. Very long wait for food to arrive. Burger was very standard for the price. Didn't ask how I wanted it cooked and it arrived dry. Service charge of 10% included in the bill and not discretionary. Not going to revisit.

Roast beef was chewy and I couldn’t eat it. Manager kindly refunded this meal. Starters were okay and staff friendly. Was very basic pub food for a high price.

We booked here by accident for a Bank Holiday Sunday evening. It was very busy and we arrived a little early. We weren't in a huge rush, but Paul the manager advised we order before a large group arrived nad ordered - how wise. It was a busy night and several turned up without booking - patiently Paul handled each one and advised how long they might be waiting. He was a master. Our food was excellent and we had a wonderful evening. Nadine who served us was responsive and good at her job.

Every thing about our meal was great. Good food and good service. It was a pleasant surprise to find Moretti on draught which is my favourite Italian beer. The menu was not extensive which I think is a good sign as the chef can concentrate on a smaller range of dishes. We shall certainly come back.
