    Lovely little pub. Competently run by welcoming staff. I was advised to choose the potato wedges, and yes, they were very good.

    A decent 6.5 out of 10 for dinner, however the service was far better than the food and also the locals where very welcoming

    Had a Sunday dinner there, it was very poor, unfortunately it seems they have given up, no compassion and not interested to make this little gem work

    1st visit: August 2022 - I gave it 5***** stars - Down to earth friendly pub, great food. 2nd visit: 20 May 2023 - 2** stars!! - Sign behind bar states that if they're busy due to high demand, food may take longer than normal to be served and generally worth the wait. We arrived at 4:30PM, told that food started at 5PM. 6 people sat OUTSIDE drinking, 2 people sat down in the bar at a table, chatting to the chef. We were the 1st for order food at 3 minutes to 5PM. Baring in mind we had decided to wait for food at 5PM instead of driving off to somewhere else. It took 38 MINUTES for our food to be served. The 2 people who were seen chatting to the chef had their food served 5 minutes before ours. I walked in to look at their food to see if they'd ordered a salad and there was no reason for our food to be served last at all, because they had Meats, roast vegetables etc. My omelette was burnt and, I kid you not, I had to spit out a large section of egg shell found inside my omelette too, you can forgive a small piece but not that. My husbands special looked horrendous. 2 stars! Never coming back, as it appears you need to be a local to get a great service here.
