Our recent visit to this establishment was marred by poor conduct, a lack of professionalism, and…read morean inappropriate level of personal judgment from staff -- resulting in what should have been a simple family meal turning into an unnecessarily uncomfortable experience. Upon arrival, we ordered a round of drinks, including one, legally permitted alcoholic drink for my 16-year-old daughter, in accordance with Section 149(5) of the Licensing Act 2003, which allows for 16- and 17-year-olds to consume beer, wine, or cider with a table meal when accompanied by an adult. We were told that food would need to be ordered for her drink to be served (after we had been sat with our drinks for at least 10 minutes)-- a reasonable condition, and we immediately complied by placing a food order for the party, a £20 sharing platter with extra fries (fries were £6!) Our meal was served, and we proceeded to enjoy our meal without issue. After finishing our food, I attempted to order a second round of alcoholic drinks for 2 adults in our group, along with an ice lolly for a younger child. At that point, we were abruptly informed that no further alcohol would be served to anyone in our group, despite the fact that no additional drink had been requested for my daughter. We were informed the manager was not there but they rang the member of staff and told them not to serve us anything else further. I would like to note at this stage, we were sat chatting about our week and our youngest daughter/granddaughters sports day (hardly criminal behaviour). What followed was not only inappropriate but highly unprofessional. A member of staff made a personal and unsolicited comment, accusing me of "encouraging a 16-year-old to drink" -- a deeply offensive and legally inaccurate accusation. We were not in breach of any law, we were not intoxicated, and we were not acting irresponsibly. We had followed every instruction given to us in good faith. It's important to be clear: * We were served an initial round of drinks, with the understanding that food must be ordered for the 16-year-old -- and we complied. * We did not attempt to purchase any further alcohol for her. * The only request made after the meal was for adult (only 2 alcoholic drinks between 3 adults) drinks and a child's dessert item. * The staff chose to refuse further alcohol service based on a personal and moral judgment, not law or customer behaviour. If an establishment enforces internal policies stricter than legal requirements, it is within their right to do so -- but such policies must be communicated clearly (and prior to any purchase of alcohol for anyone within the party) and applied consistently, without condescension or personal insult. The staff's behaviour in this case reflected neither good judgment nor good training. And while I would normally refrain from such personal observations, I must note: I will not be taking parenting advice from someone whose own personal hygiene -- particularly in regard to his dental hygiene -- raises serious questions about self-care, let alone professional standards. (If this establishment can pass personal judgment then I am entitled to reciprocate their tone). We left feeling insulted, patronised, and unwelcome -- all despite having followed the rules and behaved respectfully throughout. I would not return, and I would urge others to think twice before spending money in a venue where lawful, respectful customers are treated with such disdain.

Even though we hadn't booked, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly and seated us with no fuss at all. The service from the staff was second to none, they are fab! Helpful, friendly and nothing is too much trouble (even our dog was given treats!) The food was amazing, especially the Monterey Jack Burgers! And the desserts were lip smackingly delicious. Our only regret is that we're not local!!! We live in Northumberland so were just visiting family, but we will certainly be going back next time we visit. Absolutely fantastic place!

What a fine looking pub it is too. Nice stone brick and big to boot. On wandering in I wasn't disappointed either. It's laded with oak beams and swanky rafters. All this adds to a cosy atmosphere. So I settled my bum and relaxed and relax I did. Maybe that was to do with the good selection of wine served by the glass if you wish, from around the world. Plenty of choice and three sizes to choose from. That's pretty much unheard of these days. The Merlot was a nice tipple. As for the food, this was a welcome treat. You can have a Yorkshire Pudding as a starter. Yes a starter if you wish. Follow that up with a massive slab of Shibden burger with deluxe chips or go for something more sophisticated like the mussels or fowl's breast. My only gripe was that it is quite dear for pub grub but it's very good pub grub so I guess I should leave my English complaining head at home. Overall a fine stop off for food and drink alike.

The interior is large but they have spoilt it by putting wooden flooring in everywhere which takes away the comfy feeling. There are also way too many tables scattered about which makes it hard for you to walk about and manouvre - my other half is on crutches and he found it almost impossible to get in and out of his chair without knocking something other. The good thing about this pub is the food - it is absolutely divine and yummy. There is so much choice from the traditional all day breakfast, fish and chips, burgers, etc to paninis and pastas. The prices arent too dear either and they do lots of offers on the food too like 2 for 1 menu, kids menu and grill nights, etc. The pub has different theme nights on from jazz to swing to disco and soul which are usually a really good night out and it does get really busy. But again, the atmosphere is just not there. A good meal and nothing else really.
