"I understand that this pub was recently purchased by a new owner. that was our first time here for many years. it's probably many years before we go back. Previously, it was a great meal here, but not anymore. Cannot...quite understand the good reviews. Before we came in, we could see from the parking lot what an extremely young chef appeared in the kitchen. now I would not take off the juvenile and would not let this fact be my views scrutinized if that had been half decent, but it was not. what was to follow clearly shows that there is absolutely zero experience in the entire provision of food or services. Normally, a place with a fairly short menu is a note that what they serve, they do well. the greeting when we came in was quite wrong and that made the ton for the evening. the atmosphere in the room was not great and as our first drinks pints) were poured, some spilled over the hand of the merciful and they continued to lick it before they brought to our table one of what seemed like a year old, with all the skill and social gnade of good one year old. we ordered a burger and chips and a fish and chips. they arrived right away. rather than too timely and again from one of the child-employed with no attempt of social interaction and she also had one to spill one of the pints, but nothing to get a cloth to wipe or even apologise the spill from the table. concerning the food itself, the chips were of the reheated frozen lumpy sorts and were as dry and quality sticks. the fish was tasteless, grayish meat and served on the head. the burger was barely cooked and heavy fat-coated. it looked anemic because it was obviously boiled to far too low temperature and had none of the beautiful one decent burger. it was not even decent quality meat. prices are not reflexion of the quality of food or service levels."

"We had a nice meal at this restaurant and actually were saying how much we liked the restaurant until we recieved the bill which had a mistake on it. We ordered a bottle of wine but were given the wrong one,no problem with that and they changed to another one. Then when we got the bill the wine we ordered cost £24 but we were billed £30,we asked the waitress to please amend by £6 and she said ok and went to speak to managment. George returned ,suppose he was assisant manager and said he can’t refund the £6 as we had drank the £30 bottle we said no it’s £24 on the menu ,he proceeded to show us it was £30 and this is when we relised that they had actually given us a £30 bottle of wine which wasn’t the one we asked for! Seriously can you believe they got our order wrong not once but twice! Yes I know it’s only £6 but it was the way George proceeded to argue and became obnoxious and arrogant. They made the mistake not us! He then went to refer to his manager again who was hiding and came back again to say no refund. Seriously! The manager should have come out and seen us out of respect.Disgraceful behaviour,This completely ruined what had been a nice evening and we left disappointed and upset. We felt bad not leaving the lady waitress a tip as she was lovely but the way George and the No balls manager treated us was totally unexpectable and we left! So overall food nice but George and managerment team poor! Shame coz we would have left a big tip"
