The food is good. I went there on Monday, it's now Tuesday and I'm going back on Friday to eat. The pub itself? Nice building, tastefully refurbished, classy but not inaccessible; comfortable. Well stocked bar? check, good menu? check, friendly staff? check (make that a very check) not in your face, but always about and able to answer your every call. And so damn cheerful! If you've read any of my other reviews, you'll know that my wife is lactose and gluten intolerant; does make eating out a bit of a problem, but not here, the first mention of the requirement and the waiting and kitchen staff spring into action (and still so damn cheerful about it, they even sing!) Would I go back there? Well I am on Friday and yes after that definitely, why am i waiting so long? The portions are very generous, I'll need from now to Friday to build up my appetite again. Seriously, this pub is very, very good and I heartily recommend it to all you Qypers out there if ever you're down this way.

We were a party of five and sampled their turkey, beef and lamb, which were flavourful. The vegetables were carrots, runner beans, cauliflower cheese (so yummy) and roast potatoes. We also sampled various desserts to include pavlova with dime bar, pavlova with maltesers, treacle pudding and chocolate flake ice cream. These were all generous portions. The friendliness of the family run staff members was pleasant and polite. You can tell they care about their business. The decor is a little dated but pleasant with two open fires. They have parking directly in front of the pub. Worthy of a visit.
