   There was 7 of us and had 5 different meals. The lasagna The only way i could describe it was all pasta and nothing else. And if you decide to pay by cash don't bother because they didn't have change.

   Would have preferred carvery to be using full joints of meat not pieces of a full joint. No beef or pork available only gammon & turkey so can’t really be classified as a carvery. No sausages available. Good choice of vegetables cooked to perfection and plenty hot enough

   Great experience, food amazing, freshly cooked, not mass produced, tasted like the chefs really care! Very like a home made roast. Good choice of veggies and amazing roast potatoes. Meat very tender and tasty. Dinning room a little cold, but that’s the only slight issue we had Will definitely be back, and will recommend to friends Thank you Woodman

   Horrid calamari, horrid chicken wings, lovely Brie bites, Cold stuffing on the carvery, chips weren’t great, onion rings very greasy. Long wait for food, not a great meal. The website made it look good, shame it wasn’t.

   The pub was quiet in the eating area so we had our choice of seats. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The food was tasty and there was plenty of it. Overall we had a lovely meal and it was good value.

    Had a table booked for 7pm first time we had been and went for carvery as we are new to the area a young girl pointed to the table where we were sitting there was only 1 other table in area then the young girl came over to bring menu and a drink order not once did she mention that the carvery closed at 7pm it was only when she came back to do food order we wanted the carvery and was then told it closes at 7pm on the door outside it says 8pm this is awful for a Saturday evening i can see why you had no guests in the pub
