6pm Sunday lunch, what a disaster! Starters, No garlic mushrooms hubby wanted burger but no skin on fries? ( a basic) had to have roast potatoes, No beef, no pork. Veggie wellington Sunday lunch was an insult! Dry frozen roast, aunt Bessie's Yorkshire puddings snd stuffing balls everything including the half a carrot was out of the freezer, no cauliflower cheese but only told after the main was served so very disappointing 2 other tables around is also had cause to complain about the quality of the food. We have been coming here for a couple of years on and off and have always rated to food untill the past couple of times. Standards have really dropped and i don't think we will be back soon for food which is a shame as front of house staff are superstars and very attentive. Owen deserves a massive shout out he's a diamond

Nice staff & comfortable warm atmosphere provided by the open fire. Sadly the food didn't match up. We both had the Sunday roast. I had the trio of meats. The beef & turkey were both good but the pork was dry. My husband had the pork so it was more disappointing as all dry. The roast potatoes were also well below par, pale & barely roasted , tasted more like sautéed. Vegetables were very al dente. We asked for more gravey to make it passable. We fed back to the waitress who said she had passed our comments to the chef. No offer of bringing alternative meat or potatoes. The very traditional Sunday dinner is all about the meat & the roasties. We won't be eating here again.

We?ll what a letdown. For a big popular pub/restaurant they had 2 staff on, lunchtime, trying to cope at a very busy time. We waited almost an hour for food, customers were waiting around the bar area to be seated for ages,asking if we had seen anyone to seat them!!! Our meals were dreadful. My Seabass was stale and rest if it cold, my partners chicken was almost burned and the rest of his cold. Sent mine back and had bowl of chips later which should have come with my meal. Thought the dessert sounded fabulous (£9.45) Eaton mess/trifle/jam pudding etc. IT CAME ON A FLAT plate! A spoonful of trifle with an inch of Meringue on top alongside a tiny tub of rock hard pudding and scoop of ice cream. Very strange!! I would put the disaster down to bad management. The staff were lovely trying to cope. I lived in this area for over 30yrs and this pub was our local. What a shame it has fallen to this. We eat out a great deal and have never been so disappointed. The whole experience took over one and a half hours.We felt extremely sorry for the staff as they were so very pleasant

We?ve just had the worst Sunday dinner!! Roasties were burnt , meat was tough , veg wasn?t cooked enough. Yorkshire you couldn?t even cut into it was awful. Such a shame cos staff were lovely and nice pub. Definitely won?t be coming back for food!!

We booked four weeks in advance for the mother?s day set menu and were not disappointed. The seven hour slow cooked rib of beef was the best we have ever tasted. It was exquisite. There are no words to describe just how succulent it was, as were the perfectly roasted potatoes, other vegetables, and delicious Yorkshire pudding. The starters of calamari and Korean BBQ chicken were also excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bakewell tart with custard while the rest of my family tucked into the Panna cotta and chocolate torte. Even the cappuccinos were good! Service was excellent, and our only complaint were noisy guests at a table nearby, but you can hardly blame the restaurant for that. Definitely will be going back again soon.

This was a lovely warm welcome and a most fantastic breakfast. We were returning because the atmosphere for a Sunday morning laid back brunch is wonderful here. Lovely decor, cosy fireplace, candles at tables and chilled out music make it the place to spend a couple of hours relaxing, which is just what we did. The breakfasts were great, some interesting variations available, plus the usual range you'd expect. Cooked and presented really well. Very friendly and helpful staff. Don't be put off if you see scaffolding over one of the entrances during some work to this historic building, the other door is just as welcoming and inside you wouldn't notice any disruption at all. The layout is characterful and the place has a charming atmosphere. Looking forward to returning and enjoying this experience again. It's
