Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

The food was really nice and hot. Came out quickly. Got a few starters and the messy fries, which were to die for. Large portion's and paired with nice sauce's. We were served by Charlie who provided great service with a smile. Also, recommended some...really nice dishes. Will definitely be coming backMore

No staff to greet / seat us when we arrived, given a glass of flat Prosecco at the bar and was reluctant to change it. Had to wait 40 minutes for the food to arrive bearing in mind we had a hungry two year old,...the food was okay and hot but the slice of beef and ale pie had clearly been sat in a warmer as the outside of the filling had gone dry / hard. Overall the food was expensive for what it was and the staff weren't particularly helpful or friendly.More
