I've no idea why this place is currently rated as 1 star. The previous review from 5 years ago seems very generic with no details about the actual place at all. Very suspicious activity if you ask me.
Anyway, this place isn't 1 star at all, more like 4 or 5, but I've given it 5 in order to balance out the ridiculous previous rating. We couldn't book a table in the restaurant area as it was fully booked but were informed that if we arrived close to opening that we would get a table. We got there bang on 12 and were lucky that we did as by half past the place was packed out, a reassuring sign.
We shared starters between couples, all were very good and all under £5 - squid salad, baked camembert and nachos. All 6 of us had a beef roast which is well priced at £9.95 and comes with all of the trimmings, all cooked expertly. We had coffees and desserts and a few rounds of beers/soft drinks and the bill came to £23 a head which is great value. Above and beyond the quality of the food and the price though is the attentive and polite service. Outstanding. We retired into the pool room after the meal for a few games - they have a pool table, darts, quiz machines. The garden is also very nice. Top draw country pub. read more
