    When we arrived the manager knew nothing about our booking. He informed us that they no longer served food and hadn't even had a kitchen for the last few months. Which raises the question, how was I able to book a table for lunch at a pub that cannot serve food? Very poor service from Open Table.

    Unfortunately this place hasn’t changed for the better the food is over priced and average and the fact that you have children running around in a pubs main bar area make as much noise as possible and generally misbehaving says it all not some where I will recommend or visit again

    A very enjoyable evening. Food was great, good pub food done well. Service fab, the girls that served us were just very good at what they do and looked after us well. I would recommend for a good pub meal. Drinks are good to, they serve a decent beer on tap and a good wine.

    Excellent staff, very friendly, very helpful. Nice atmosphere, excellent service, staff very attentive, slightly dissapointed in my choice of main meal as was somewhat bland (lamb chops) and fries over cooked. My partner really enjoyed the fish of the day.
