Overall good. Got a good glass of rosé for £5 and sticky toffee pudding for £6. They fed us some free Yorkshire puddings midway through the match. Staff were attentive and polite. Environment is good and they got a big beer garden. They do not display the prices of their pints and half pints. Recommendation: Show the prices of your pints and half pints.

We are locals to the pub and booked the private function room for a baby shower. Staff and service: we had the pleasure of dealing with Ryan and Jordan and they were both absolutely brilliant. They were clear and helpful in helping us plan the day so it ran smoothly and they were extremely accommodating to our requests. On the day Jordan was very helpful and after setting up the room checked in with us regularly to make sure everything was going smoothly which felt very reassuring. Food: The food was served on time without complication and the staff made sure to double check when we wanted…

Genuinely nasty food, burnt and dry..., cook ain't up to it, horrid... Picture is of the aftermath of repulsive, uneatable Yorkshire puddings..., proof in the pictures, undeniable. Given both of those were beef and Yorkshire pudding Sunday roasts, how can they justify this horrid stuff. Also noted, sausage rolls on bar uncovered to buy, watch out for feces and urine or fly eggs... Yuck. It's not as advertised and in these times where anything cooked for you is a treat you would have felt really mugged off, Pete please investigate and sort this out this does you no favours and frankly in…

It's a great local pub with a good standard of food. The interior has always been lacking in direction. It's a mixture of shabby chic and can't be bothered. The toilets could do with some modernising, and the Garden could be improved. This would make it overall a much better place and definitely add to the experience. I really like the staff and have had some great interactions with the local punters too.

Held my son’s first birthday party in the side room. Staff went above and beyond to make the room look lovely and were on hand and helpful throughout the whole event. Great location, food was super tasty
