The food is nice although a bit pricy despite it being pretty standard offerings. The service was very, very slow however. The staff were pleasant but unmotivated.

More like 3 bells. Staff not very friendly and slow serve. Also, had to keep asking for cutlery, or napkins or whatever. Pub itself looked nice, just sad it wasnt a pleasant experience.

Coming down from London and and planning on taking the family out to eat on the Saturday, being vegetarian, we checked that the items on the menu were available, as have had experience elsewhere of items being out of stock! We were assured all was well and booked for 5.30pm. Arrived, ordered drinks, the waiter came and we ordered the vegetarian pies..."sorry Sir sold out" (this being a Bank Holiday weekend, I don't hold out much hope for any other pie lovers being satisfied!) so we substituted 3 x vegetarian sausage and mash and 1 x fish and chips. After a long wait - we were told "sorry but only 5 sausages left" At this point (approx 6.15!) one of our party said I'll take the vegetarian burger then, as we were all getting totally fed up and 'hangry' with the whole thing! Anyway - time ticked on...at 7.00pm my wife went to see where the food was and was told abruptly without apology "oh your order wasn't put through to the kitchen, so in shock, she came back and we waited 15 more minutes then in total exasperation we paid for our drinks, no apology or excuse given so we left!! Needless to say I don't recommend this place to eat. The Management has recently changed and the service is even worse than it used to be - never again!!
