Menus were sticky. The tables were sticky. The counter was not sticky & looked mostly clean too. This place needs a thorough scrubbing. I'm sorry, but it was dusty and sticky and very dated. The toilets were very, very dated & well used. But, they were clean to be fair!On a drier day, you can sit outside & watch TV, eat, drink and be merry. The veranda is laid out lovely, with plenty of seating for a good-sized crowd.The staff are friendly. Won't knock them!What annoyed me most when I arrived was not having a single spot to park. All the free parking spots were taken by parents collecting their children from the primary school, just a stones throw from the Venture parking area. Some were even double parked!The coffee from the machine was dreadful. Drank half, even added sugar to see if this could help, but no, it was just awful. The food wasn't that bad. Very much what someone would cook from home. Although I'm sorry to say, I've had much better home cooked meals.It's only OK in a pinch. Sorry to say... I won't be going back again any time soon.Kid-friendliness: Noticed children here. So certainly not a problem having a family meal with the little ones in tow here.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy enough to get a wheelchair into the building & move around!

Visited Venture during the week with my partner, we opted for the 2 for £11.99 offer and both had the steak pie. The meal was lovely overall... we were expecting a slice of pie each but got a whole pie on each plate ??. Was certainly very filling, couldn't finish it. Very good value for money. No complaints from us.Also noted that The Venture is dog friendly so will be visiting again when out on our walks.Overall a nice friendly pub atmosphere to dine in, highly recommend.EDIT - Visited again yesterday with my dog for a quick bite to eat, food was delicious again and a thumbs up from my pooch who had chicken and sausages off the doggy menu and scoffed the lot ?

Went today with the family (6 of us). Myself and my brother ordered the half Chicken Sunday dinner with the beef dripping gravy. The Chicken was very dry, the roast potatoes were overcooked and soggy, like they had been standing a while. The mash potato was stodgy and tasted like it had come out of a packet, and there was hardly any beef dripping gravy.I'm sorry to say we didnt enjoy it whatsoever. The other meals that were ordered were fine and everyone seemed to enjoy what they had, but the roast chicken dinner was a hugh let down.
