As a pub though it’s lacking. I arrived for my stay at around 5pm and there were people sitting at tables having drinks. It wasn’t long before all the tables had Reserved signs on them as it was now catering for diners and not drinkers. Maybe a sign of the times. If you went in after 6pm just for a drink you’d feel a second class citizen and possibly in the way.
I ordered the King prawn starter which was disappointing in both taste and presentation and poor value for money, and eventually the mains came, the food was covered in gravy rather than in a separate gravy boat. But one of the biggest issues was the cutlery, the fork twisted when trying to use it and the knife did not cut the beef easily, even though it was pink.
The staff were helpful but not dressed appropriately, jeans & scruffy shirts, which we felt was not right for the dinning experience
Overall meal was disappointing.
