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.

We visited for our son’s 18th birthday. The menu is really varied, from salads to steaks to pasta. The staff are super friendly and the portions are very generous. Food is cooked fresh for each order so there can be a wait at busy times....The restaurant was very busy on a Thursday night - I recommend booking in advance. We took a birthday cake with us which we had for dessert with some ice cream, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful with this and even started the Happy Birthday singing! Highly recommended.More

The restaurant was warm and friendly. The menue choice is great for traditional British food . We were spolit for choice with good variation of starters and main courses. The portions were huge and ifvyou have a big appetite you will not be disappointed. Personally...it was to much for me and I should have skipped the starters ! Service was quick and the food presentation was good. The drinks were a little slow but nothing to be annoyed about.More

We went for Lunch today to celebrate my Grandsons Baptism , three of us had sunday lunch , we were served a very small oval eared dish of vegtables just enough for two certainly not enough for three . We asked the young waiter if...we could have some more veg but our request was completely ignored . What we had was beautiful but for £15.95 veg was very sparse.More

Book in advance to guarantee a table. My family of 7 (three different generations) went for my mums 65th Birthday meal. We each had a different meal from the menu, and everyone said how incredible the food was. I had the steak and ale pie...with mash (instead of chips). I can honestly say it was the best pie I’d ever eaten. The meat was so tender, and the chef made a separate puff pastry that sat on top. It was perfect. My sister had the lasagne. She never finishes a big meal, but ate every last bit. My daughter had the pub curry, and she devoured it. Mum had the chicken antelope, which she said was one of the nicest pieces of chicken she’d ever ate. Staff were so lovely, and couldn’t do enough for us. Service and food wasn’t slow, but also not rushed. Just right. Highly recommend, and can’t wait to go back. Loads of parking available.More
