"I cannot find fault at all abso perfect in every way! Our group had Vegan burger, Pork faggots Cumberland sausage meals. Had to control ourselves not to lick the plates it was so tasty! All homemade and so, so tasty. We squeezed ourselves into the last remaining non reserved table and were served within seconds of going to order even though busy. Once a bigger table became free the landlord cleaned it and came over to offer it to us rather than saving for a bigger party so kind and thoughtful not what I'm used to out my way! About 12 vegan/veg dishes and plenty of meat/fish dishes of various delicacies about 40 meals ish. It seemed a standardised pricing one price fits all meals which was really refreshing idea. Busy, but lovely atmosphere where everyone seemed to know each other very welcoming nothing seemed too much trouble to landlord/lady. Once food scoffed we had an hour to spare before we had to make a move and didn't feel at all we had to make room for someone else. This sounds silly but I really appreciate a good hand soap these days (yes I'm pushing late 40's) and I was really happy to find Molton Brown hand soap in the toilets not a luxury I get in my local haunts (must try to upgrade my locals). Only thing I realy would recommend is to book we were so very lucky to get a space and |I wouldn't want anyone disappointed! Anyway give it a go you won't be disappointed!"

"we have eaten in the clubhouse all the time serve and always enjoyed it. it was our high-time anniversary, so we thought we were going to the “thanks clubhouse it Friday “ deal 3 courses with a glass wein for two. £55 when we arrive, we got a great welcome and shown on our table. the menus came, but no Friday menu. We waited a few minutes and had to ask for the Friday Deal menu. we heard that neighboring tables ask for the Friday menu. not surprising, as the main menu has become quite expensive. we felt that the staff was more than a bit involuntary to offer the right menu. When it arrived, we were surprised that the normal 3 choice per. the curs had been reduced to only 2 per course. the review of the clubhouse website, as I write, still shows 3 choices per curs. disappointment when we look forward to the muscheln as a coup d’état. we have asked to jump from the set menu, but was said “ that is not hoe it works “ the set menu choice we are all more expensive than the mush £11 chowder £13 and salat £12. we ordered our eating and enjoyed our stater and net. the desert was openly poor. when we asked about our bill, we were surprised to see £107. in that we had been charged for desert 2x£8.50, although it is included in the Friday deal. bs k came the bill. narrower inspection shower we had been charged for all our drinks, even if the Friday deal contained a glass wein. the bill went back to remove more £15. zip bill £77. there was no tipp that poor show clubhouse gave. if they put a deal on respect and hug him or don't do it"

"Had a bad experience today, had Sunday lunch with 2019 award winning food, so was highly recommended, however since then I guess the chef must have left.. I never trust Beef as I do not like chewy meat which it can be, my Wife loves beef and is not sensitive to chewy or even gristly meat, it arrives, my Wife looked at it and said how pale the beef looked, took a bite and was still chewing it after a full minute, so decided it was inedible, the Lovely mature Aus/NZ lady apologised and offered chicken/belly pork or Salmon as an alternative, my Wife chose Salmon, as the Lady said it would be quicker to cook than any of the meat, I was already halfway thru my belly pork choice, around 12 minutes past and the Salmon arrived, I had finished my meal, and my Wife now started hers, biting into the Salmon, it felt jelly like, on closer inspection, unfortunately it was clearly raw, that was enough, we left without my Wife eating, and although the apologies came flooding in, we paid full price for my meal and our 2 drinks, kind of thought 1 drink might have been knocked off of our bill or even my meal, or a sweet offered as this was a disastrous experience, My Wife was a little sensitive for the rest of the day, unfed and miffed, all due to an incompetent chef, how you can undercook a small piece of Salmon is unfathomable. But it happened, staff very pleasant, food extremely disappointing"
