    Came for the quiz but it was cancelled. 2 and 3 course meals quite good value. Food was standard pub fare, some things better than others. We were seated in the dining room with a loud group and it was hard to heard each other speak

    The starter and main food was good. The wrong drinks were bought out twice and the wrong desserts. In the end we received one dessert of 3 and had to cancel the other 2. The service seemed fraught and disorganised. I would return as the good wad good but the service needs to improve and be more customer-centric.
