Came wanting some uncomplicated pub grub, ended up leaving still hungry, disappointed, and out of pocket. Since the new management have taken over (2014 onwards) the price of a pint has skyrocketed (now around £3.50) and their beer selection has reduced, driving out the locals, alongside the food being priced and described as gourmet gastro pub stuff and arriving as lacklustre, poorly-cooked, tiny portions, with ingredients missing that were specified on the menu. One meal, the portobello mushroom linguine, looked like we had been given a starter portion by mistake. One Greek salad starter didn't even include the feta cheese. The only plus was the nice chunky chips that came with the steak & ale pie. £10-£15 for meals that should have cost £5-£10. Also, we had to wait an hour and a half for the kitchen to reopen at 6pm for the evening, and then were encouraged to order before 7pm so they could cater for the wedding function on in the venue. Seems they didn't try to impress us at all. Avoid unless you enjoy wasting time and money on overpriced average food. read more
