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.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. The best value meal I have had out in a long time. 5 of us had starters of soup and prawn cocktails. 3 large beef, 1 chicken and 1 mixed meat all with roast potatoes, stuffing and Yorkshires. The vegetables came in...serving dishes swede, carrots, cabbage, peas, cauliflower cheese and a bowl of amazing creamy mashed potatoes. 4 gravy jugs of hot delicious gravy. What more could you ask for for 13.95 main course. Starters and desserts £4.50. Only 2 has dessert as the rest of us were full up! Would definitely recommend and will return.More

Excellent service from FOH girls. All staff were proactive constantly. Quality of food was superb. Really enjoyed the dinner and for desert the sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Good prices too 👍 Also will mention my son can only eat a very specific selection of...food so options are minimum and the colour of food has to be right (not burned or under cooked food. The team offered to make him chicken nuggets and chips. BIG thanks goes to the chef and team for that. Highly recommended!More

The staff here are very friendly, we had a lockdown Sunday lunch, plentiful and tasty. The meal was late, and what a lovely gesture, they wanted us to have free of charge, insisted on paying, but appreciated how thoughtful some people are. Returned yesterday for...pub lunch, lovely people, couldn’t be more friendly. Had the chicken curry, delicious and piping hot. Also two corned beef pie meals ordered which was commented on how lovely and plentiful.Great price. Lovely pub well worth visiting.More
