| Another foodery where drinkers are tolerated on a perch near the entrance (unless gorgers of food have to wait for a table then they take up that space while waiting). Snarling_Mallard - 11 Jun 2018 10:17 |
| Certainly competitive in pricing, for its lunch menu at least, but this restaurant is less of a pub and has dropped in quality recently. It is clean, presentable and with courteous service. However they are currently looking for kitchen staff and that might explain an over 30 mins wait just to get Fish and Chips and a 'Beef and Kidney' pudding served. Insufficient serving staff even for the very limited number of diners. Kitchen resorting to shouting when a dish is ready. My F&C was OK but my wife's B&K pudding was rather pastry-like than suet-pudding like. Limited (actually very limited) ale on tap - I had a pint of Lock Keepers (3.9%) which was local and OK but there was only one other ale - despite the website promising..." its wide range of fine cask ales and quality ales...". 175ml Pinot Grigio £4.79, Pint Lock keepers £3.93, Beef & Steak pudding £6.99 and F&C £5.49. Total £20.20 which for two cooked lunches in the area is competitive. I doubt we'll be back for a while. Realalediner - 6 Aug 2015 17:35 |
| I found a spider and a blonde hair in my over-processed, over-cooked, rancid food. I would strongly recommend that this pub is avoided at all costs. Elizabeth45343 - 12 Jan 2012 19:16 |
