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.

We had a fabulous Sunday dinner for six people. The service was attentive, quick and efficient. All six of us had really good meals. I had steak and ale pie which was clearly made there and not your usual chill/cook which you get at most...venues. The meat was tender and the pastry was wonderful. We have had some bad experiences at other pubs recently so coming here was a breath of fresh air. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend going based on today’s experience. It was good value for money too.More

We visited late on a Thursday afternoon. It was fairly quiet, but it felt like the atmosphere would be quite relaxed at most times of the week. Staff on entry and throughout our visit were friendly and attentive. We ordered some food and drink. We...had beef lasagne and cajun chicken. Both very fresh and cooked perfectly but underseasoned and some items quite bland. Still good value overall. The overall place seemed clean - the condiments were really surprisingly clean for a restaurant at this price point. Toilets were a bit shabby but no more than similar places.More

Arrived at the Courthouse without a booking, but the staff managed to fit us in. This was a Sunday lunch and most tables were reserved. We ordered the Sunday roast and was very pleased with it. Pub roasts can be hit or miss, this was...certainly a hit, and plenty of it. The gravy was exceptional as was the cauliflower cheese. A great find for us and a big thank you to all the staff members for looking after us. It is a big pub, but does get busy.More

The staff here are really excellent and attentive. We did not book but where easily accommodated and they could not do enough for us. They will let you know what the specials options are (I choose the delicious Chicken in a cranberry and mustard sauce)....Overall this turned out to be a very good choice. We ate quite early but it filled up really quickly which showed how popular it was.More

Had a meal here with a group of friends, and everyone could find plenty of things to choose from on the menu. Everyone said their meal was excellent. Everything on the menu was very reasonably priced. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and nothing...was too much trouble I would absolutely recommend ... and eating there not only saved me cooking and washing up, but helps support a local business to stay openMore

Been wanting to check this place's food out for a while. I decided to have the steak with mash and peas. I think the salad came with it. They do seem to understand what a meal should be. I'm definitely returning for another.
