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.

After buying a pint and a drink for my girlfriend and myself we sat down at a table to enjoy our drinks in peace. The table wasn't reserved and there was another empty table nearby also unreserved yet a rude staff member told us we...had to move from the table (and stand up I guess) even though he admitted the table was not booked. The even ruder landlord said the same. As paying customers we are not putting up with this rudeness. Surely we can enjoy our drinks without feeling like we are in prison. T aking our custom elsewhere. AvoidMore

Staff were extremely pleasant, polite and courteous. The ‘special’ chicken and pancetta linguine was excellent value for money. Nice atmosphere.

What a find this little gem was. Down the bottom end of town but eye catching when you walk up to it and extremely welcoming when you entered. Menu catering for all. We just wanted a small bit and can highly recommend the Parmesan Fries,...fully covered from top to bottom in Parmesan and the Aioli mayo side accompanying was perfect.More

I had time to kill and was hungry, and desperately wanted to sit down. The little side garden is a total sun trap, and the staff were super helpful. Food arrived quick, and the portions were huge. Lots of cut chicken, thick granary bread, and...crisp but fluffy fries. The house Prosecco was nice too, really made the meal.More

We were very saddened to find out you won't be accepting any more large bookings on a Saturday? We as a group have been coming for years. We pre bookings if asked too and spend quite a bit of money over the bar!!!! We don't...expect waitress service. We would be interested to hear why you have made the decision to stop groups of 12.

Hello and thank you for leaving your review. We haven’t stopped groups of any size on any day we just cannot allow large groups to reserve tables on Saturdays as it is just too busy. Sadly reserved signage on tables is just removed by customers...More

We popped in with our 2 children whilst out shopping and the refurb is fab. We sat in the booth area so although rugby was playing on the screens we didn't have to watch it. The food was superb especially the pork belly with dip....Not too expensive and nice atmosphere.More
