"A large group of us visited this establishment back in January around 6pm in the evening to meet up for my dad 's birthday. The place was very busy and we found two tables on the lower floor. The tables were filthy with food all over the place but given the place was busy this was definitely understandable. Our issue began when 9 off us were seated and asked a rather reluctant male in his early 20s to please clean our tables. This was done with huffs puffs and reluctantly. We placed our order and he made us feel like we had inconvenienced him. We ordered an array of things but myself and my father had the chicken curry and exactly the same meal. It was luke warm but we arnt complainers usually and we after the reception we got we didnt really want to make a fuss. A few days later I came down very sick with abdominal pains it was the day that the paramedics were on strike but I was that ill I had to call 101 and they advised I go to hospital. I was too ill to move and I dragged myself to the gp the next day who gave me antibiotics and said I could have diverticulitis. He told me to do a stool sample and it came back that I had contracted food poisoning and it would most likely be from eating chicken . The ONLY chicken I had was at your establishment . I have since received 2 letters from environmental health wanting to know more information. I have never been in this situation before. I wrote a review in the name of sunny side before which is my email which you responded to with sarcasm which was very professional of you so I thought I would come back and elaborate. I have these letters. I don 't know the name of the young lad who served us despite having visited your establishment many times and never having a problem before. But if someone writes a review it should not be met with sarcasm I feel all comments should be taken on board and customers treated with respect. Myself and my dad won 't be having the chicken again. He was not as bad as me which was lucky as he is a very old man. Don 't try and put down people who give you bad reviews you really made us ill and we didn 't even reply to the letters from the environmental heath but what I am going to do if u email me an address to sent it to is send u copy 's of the letter so who you see my name address and the fact that this is in no way malicious ."

"We arrived on Friday evening at about 7.15 pm hoping for dinner. We were immediately greeted by the young lady behind the bar, who said that of course we could have dinner. Actually, it became obvious that there was no problem as there wasn 't anybody else in the dining section. When we commented on the lack of diners, she rather strangely said that there were usually more customers for dinner during the week than the weekends. We wondered why? There is a good pub menu and I went for the haddock pie and he decided on bangers and mash. The dining section is quirkily decorated, which is rather nice, but there does not appear to be any heating, and we were a bit chilly. The food looked good on arrival, and the chef obviously knows how to do things properly, in that there was hard boiled egg in the fish pie and the bangers came with an extra small jug of gravy. I was hoping for a lovely creamy fish pie with real mashed potatoes and fresh veg, and he was hoping for lovely sausages and real mashed potatoes. But the pie was really very dry and not very taseful, and although his sausages were delicious (locally sourced) we both thought that the mash was probably smash i.e. out of a packet. Since we had not much enjoyed the main course, we thought we would try puddings, and I ordered the sticky toffee pudding and he had apple crumble. His crumble was good, and the sticky toffee sauce was OK, but poured over a very ordinary piece of sponge. The wine per glass is very reasonably priced which is perhaps why there is nothing very special about it. There have been other reviews praising the food, but we were disappointed. . Some parts of the evening were good, but other parts were definitely not hence my title. If the food had not been so dry, we would have added another star."

"I went with my partner for Christmas dinner after b12, I received a text from them asked me to confirm to answer was £2 so I didn't bother when they knew we had booked and paid. the starter was a little strange. pictorial, that tasted bitter, I wasn't at all fan of it. then I had a canine ravioli as an appetizer, that was divine and I would fortunately have eaten much more than at all. then we had a herring, with an eastern European inheritance and my mother tried to eat me hering at several places, I knew I would not like to as it is not to my taste and I am especially about seafood, I tried a little and dislike it, my partner loved it and had mine too. we had a sorbet between the curses. the truthahn porn was all in order I didn't like the taste of the chipolata sausage, but my partner did that part was quite large with a lot of go veg, so was filling. for dessert I had the chocolate parfait that was beautiful and I enjoyed it, I didn't like the Beetroot ice cream that accompanied it, which was just strange. I think it could have worked if it had white chocolate in it or crumb with it, but on its own it did not work for me. the cheeses were a good choice and there was a black cheese that was particularly delicious. the service was police and efficient. overall we enjoyed the experience, there were some highlights like the rabbit ravioli, and the chocolate parrot, some things that were in order, and some things that were simply not on my taste. we would go back, yes I think we would and I would mainly go back when Hasen-Ravioli was on the menu."
