10 minutes later we arrived at the pub. The car park was full but we managed to find a space on the road outside. This was a good sign that the pub was popular.
Approached the bar & was asked " Hi how can I help". Courteous, another good sign. I replied saying we have just called & booked a table & the member of staff said "Ah Mr Neale, this way please". knowledgeable, another good sign.
Sat down, was left to read the menu, which was a wide range of food but as we were looking for a roast we knew what we wanted. No sooner had we placed our menu's vack on the table, our waitress was there! prompt service, again another good sign.
We ordered our food & drinks with the waitress & 2 minutes later our drinks arrived followed by our food 5 minutes later.
I had roast beef & my wife had roast chicken. Our plates were full but no veg 🤔 only to find our waitress returning to our table with a side of chunky veg.
Now I was starving having just ran a half marathon but without showing my greediness I ate my food at a pace the food deserved. OMG everything was cooked to perfection & we both cleared our plates in silence.
Sadly at this point our stomachs were full so we opted to skip desert. Our plates were removed from the table & I asked for the bill. A minute later a waitress bought our bill to our table & she also has a card machine in her hand ready for us to pay. No waiting around to pay, prefect service all around.
Upon leaving we were asked by whom I can only assume was the landlady "how was our meal" to which we replied "excellent" & I then said I would have preferred to put my own gravy on my plate & could have another roast potatoe to which she replied "thank you for your comments & if you you visit again, just ask fir your roast to be dry & an extra potatoe & we'll accommodate you" very accommodating our last good sign.
Welcome: 10/10
Service: 10/10
Friendliness: 10/10 (dogs welcome)
Value for money: 10/10
We will definitely be returning again & recommending to family & friends.
Avoid!
Like I said never ever been in the car park stupid was in Devon on the day of the fine!
All the best finer arms
Freshly prepared food and cooked to perfection too. I didn't notice any pre-packed or frozen produce here.
Service was exceptional too. I made the mistake in not telling them we were bringing dogs with us but they bent over backwards to fit us in and this was on Sunday afternoon and the place was packed with loads of dog parties too.
There is also a dedicated car park outside and a lovely beer garden area which is also dog friendly and dog secure too.
