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.

Travelled down from s London, and was well worth the journey. Shame that the rain prevented us sitting outside watching the fish, but the meal was great. Friendly service just when needed, meal was huge but apart from some veg ( that went home in...a tub) everything disappeared. We had a variety of roasts, the pork was scrumptious but the beef a bit chewy. The veg were cooked to perfection, and as for the pale ale and bitter, it’s no wonder CAMERA approved. Even the icecream and cheesecake were wonderful. Certainly would return.More

Went with friends for Lunch, warm & friendly welcome on arrival. There was a large party close by but no delay in service because of this. Nice Pub Menu to choose from & all very happy with out choices of Ham, Egg & Chips and...Pint of Prawns which came with plentiful & tasty bread. Of particular mention the eggs were perfectly cooked and Prawns fresh & delicious. We also enjoyed a Bottle of Chilean Sauvignon wine and a Cloudy Cider,. Throughout the meal all staff were very efficient and gave excellent customer service in a friendly manner, we really could not fault anything and all at a sensible and reasonable price, how refreshing it all was, would recommend & will no doubt return in the future, thank you everyone.More

We arrived to a vibrant busy restaurant and was ushered to our table by a very attentive waitress. The food being delivered to the other tables was well presented and inviting. Try the venison or cottage pie; excellent value with just the right portions. Clearly...they have a top drawer chef on board.More

This place is a bit grubby in corners and the furniture and fittings could do with updating. However, the staff were lovely and the food was tasty and good value. Undecided as to whether or not I would come back though.

Booked for Sunday lunch, sat in the garden and it was great service, great food and a lovely setting. So disappointed that we were charged £14.50 for veggie lasagne as the veggie alternative to Sunday roast. You don’t get any extra’s, salad, garlic bread etc...because it is. Sunday. The exact same meal appears on the regular menu for £10.80. When I questioned this as I went to pay the bill, the young chap just looked embarrassed & shrugged his shoulders, he asked a more senior member of staff to explain and she just said she didn’t make up the rules and that there was a set price on a Sunday. This explanation isn’t good enough. You just cannot charge 33% more for a meal on one day of the week!More

As always one of the few real pubs in the area. No fancy, overpriced, craft beers. No artisan bar snacks. Just the locals having a good time. Now has a jerk chicken stall outside and local bands that you can dance to. What's not to...like?More

I saw a couple of dogs on my visit so I am sure they do allow them. Especially a well behaved one! Enjoy.
