The staff did such a great job for my father-in-law's funeral wake. Made us feel very welcome Food was lovely and catered for a lot of different tastes. Absolutely great pub.

Massive in every sense of the word - huge bar, huge carpark, children's play area, and terrace seating. We went twice in one week - Sunday lunch was excellent, and Friday lunch was just as good. Special offers on each day. Very attentive service, and charming staff who went the extra mile. Definitely recommend.

Dropped in for a quick meal. Served it's purpose, it kept the kids happy. Good service, not long to wait for food. Shame they don't accept American express card.

Go here all the time for birthdays and my parents go alot for lunch. Last night for my son and daughters birthday was my worst experience yet. I get your busy but nearly a 2 hour wait then all the meals come out staggered. Took 15 mins just to order the food. Hopefully next time will be better 🙏

Visited on a quiet Friday lunch time. Wine was served in a dirty glass, had to ask for a clean glass. Food took almost an hour to prepare, pub was virtually empty. Food was nothing like described. Mine was meant to be served with salad but no salad was available and 2nd meal was just as ridiculous. It was described as a delicious skewer, peppers, onion, pineapple and chicken. What arrived was 3 pieces of pepper, 2 lumps of chicken, 1 piece of pineapple and no onions.
Will not be returning. Such a shame.

I go here quite often for meals, the staff are always friendly and accommodating, the food menu is vast and always cooked well.

The challenge menu is always good to see someone try them.

The pub itself has had quite a few changes over the years and they have what I would say as one of the best outdoor seating and play areas in the area.

This is truly a family themed pub, allowing young and old to enjoy the surroundings and to relax alone or with friends and family.

Inside the bar has 2 pool tables and a darts area, they also have cash win machines and machines that the kids get a guarantee win from.

The tables are cleaned regularly and toilets are in good order, I would say watch out for the gents toilets while washing your hands and you get a splash back from the force of the water.

All in all a great place to visit and I will be heading back again on Sunday with family.

So I headed back down today with my Family and decided to try the Greenking App, first off I would advise you to download the App before you arrive as this will speed up the process.

The advantage to using the app was the fact that you could sit and wait for your order, I would say the food order took me longer than ordering at the bar.

That being said it was painless and from ordering I had my food at the table within 20 mins, bar service help to cut down on waiting time at the bar and keeping everyone covid safe, also alot quicker than waiting at a busy bar.

Food was spot on as normal, my only fault was the steak ordered was for a medium and it came out medium well done.

Staff were in full swing and all dressed up for Halloween and all looked the part.

Tonight they had the rock and roller bingo running via the local DJ, good night was had by all customers.

I only found out tonight also that they do delivery via JUST EAT so that will be a good one to try another time.

Well done to all staff

Driving past I saw their wonderful steak offer of Monday/Tuesday £5 Steaks! So I had to check it out.

First of all, really friendly service. Ordering was easy, just purchasing through their app (Table service was available too).

The restaurant was busy, but my son and I's meal didn't take much longer than 25 minutes to come.

The steak was served on an iron cast pan which instantly excited me haha, and for the price too, I was very happy. On the app, it did have many features to add on extras, and once you have drinks included etc, your £5 offer does add up 😅 but, it wasn't expensive at all, and the whole meal was really worth it.

I would happily recommend and revisit.
