They had short menu, but it looked mostly like traditional pub food. The greatest thing about it was it all was a reasonable price. I paid 3.99 GBP for a burger and a soft drink. The burgers come with a generous garnish of chips (fries). Being a pub, they have a large and full bar. It didn't look like there was outdoor seating, and the indoor seating wasn't extremely large. There were some "cheap" forms of entertainment, like a coin-operated video game and a dart board. The pub was, as it is in England of course, overflowing with English pride. There's a cash machine on site (not free withdrawl). The beef burger is huge! It has two patties, bacon and bit of real cheese. It was probably 3/4 of a pound of meat. It had a very beefy-bacony flavor, and it was on a very good bun. I opted to put the packet of barbecue sauce on it, since it needed a little more moisture. Food service starts at noon. The wait staff brings you the food, but you must order at the bar. The wait for the food was just about right, on the verge of being a little long, the staff look a little weighed down by the bar service. Be aware, this was at 2:00 PM. At later times, food service might be even slower because of increased bar patronage. The interior is nice. It's all wooden and pub-like. The bar is especially nice and antiquey. It looks to be made of aging cherry; this place doesn't look like it has changed in at least 100 years. Great value. Good food. Ima gonna have to give this-a-one five stars!

The service is order at the bar from a menu that provides unique offerings that in the USA would be considered gourmet. My daughter in law had the lamb shank whereas I had tempura lobster. The latter had plenty of fried tempura that detracted from the lobster meat inside. In my opinion, serving it with a spicy remoulade sauce would have been better than the bland sauce provided. The Greek salad served was unique with slivers of bacon. I say bacon because if they were anchovies, they had no fishy smell or taste. Don't pass up what's written on the blackboard hidden in the back! The roast served with Yorkshire pudding looked incredible. The prices were inexpensive considering the quality of food delivered. My family thoroughly enjoyed it.

Pointed this out to the waiter at the end of the meal, (which would have beee obvious from what was left on the plate) He said he would speak to the chef but no feedback was given to us as to the outcome. Kids went on to have puddings which were fine.
