"We visited for a birthday (Sunday 3rd Sept) after being recommended here by a colleague. We arrived around 5 minutes early ... There was no one available to show us where to be seated at the front of the building so I had to pop my head around the bar to acknowledge someone to come over. A lady came to us who was friendly and pleasant and showed us to our table which was right next to the kitchen and looked like it was set up for a table of 8 not 5. Although a little disappointed with where we were sat, the drinks were ordered which came quickly and we were given menus for both the Sunday lunch and the main menu. Lots of options on there however I personally opted for the pie. I have to say that I was a little disappointed when it came to find it was puff pastry, as this was not stated on the menu however at the same time perhaps I should have asked what pastry it was before ordering. I did eat it, although it was not the best. My partner had a steak which was a little tough in parts but mostly ok. The chips were probably the best part of all the meals. A waitress came over to us and started to clear plates away even though my mother in law was still chewing! Being sat where we were, staff were continually back and forth with food, empty plates etc., and the squeaky kitchen door was not the nicest of noises when trying to have a conversation. It was also noted that the radio was on instead of a play list of music so advertisements between songs was not the ideal ambience! Due to our table being booked for 8.15pm, we were one of the last remaining tables and my partner almost felt bad asking for a hot drinks menu to which she was advised they did not have. The response of what do you want was not the most pleasant ways of asking someone who is paying good money to eat and drink there. We ordered a number of hot drinks and one dessert the dessert was brought almost instantly and was eaten and the plate taken away before the hot drinks had even come to the table. The next minute, a gentlemen (possibly the manager) was set up with a laptop just behind us speaking with staff members (work related conversations) which made us feel that they had finished for the night and we were almost in their way. Glasses were being collected off our table although not completely finished however we finished our coffees and paid the £172.00 bill which to me was not worth it for the service we received. All in all, its not the worst place I 've visited, nor is it the best. We probably won 't rush to visit again, and if we do only maybe for a drink and bowl of chips! ... although I would request a seat elsewhere."

Decided to go to the Black Lake again and once again you cannot fault the food, absolutely superb and all the girl staff were extremely pleasant,if you decide to try here for food then make sure that you have a very good appetite or you go on an empty stomach,the portions are enormous.

Just Okay! The Sunday lunch was nice but vegetables were undercooked and the gravy was just the instant type, which was disappointing in a Sunday roast. The mushroom stroganoff was bland, tasteless and boring. The Cajun chicken was tasty but chips were again bland and undercooked. The visit was just okay, we would not rush back. However, the staff were nice but the tables felt sticky and need of a proper clean. The toilets were clean.

Great service from the waitresses as usual, checked everything was ok and took orders for food and drink in a timely way. It was Steak night so we opted for the deal, well worth it. Huge portion, the steak was tasty and perfectly cooked. The Bin 161 By Hardys Merlot isn’t a top end red but was nice paired with the steak. The man working on the night in a blue shirt needs to smile a bit more and interact with diners a bit more positively.

Met with family and friends at this pub. I have to write that the staff were extremely attentive and polite. The lunch was very enjoyable and the whole bill felt reasonable based on the quality of food and service provided. The location itself is clean and the pub has a great atmosphere with a good mix of age groups. The beer is superb and the choice of wine suits all palette’s. Based on my experience I would happily recommend the pub to friends, family and colleagues as overall we had a great afternoon.

AMAZING My husband and I travelled from London to visit family and stopped for lunch at this pub. Wow, so glad we did. We both agreed it was the best pub meal we’ve had in a long time. For starters, we had the prawns with chilli sauce, Hubby had scampi and chips, I had the cottage pie and for dessert sticky toffee pudding. It was all wonderful, lovely and hot and extremely tasty. 10/10. The staff were friendly and very happy, nothing was too much trouble. Please don’t hesitate and book a table. You won’t regret it.

Terrible. Had mushroom stroganoff which was basically a bowl of bovril with floating mushrooms, no hint of paprika, no creaminess just absolutely awful. They did remove it from the bill thankfully the waitress noticed that I didn’t eat it and went to speak to the chef. I have to say this used to be one of my favourite places to come but now i don’t think I will bother again. The last few times iv visited it’s been a 4/10 at best and the staff set up is bizarre. Ask for another drink, and one staff member then sends another one over to take the order.

Came to visit here on Sunday 24th September with my partner for our 2 year anniversary! This is a lovely restaurant, we both had a Sunday roast which was absolutely amazing! Succulent meat, roast potatoes to die for and the gravy was the perfect consistency!! For desert we had the kinder cheesecake, WOW I cannot begin to tell you how incredible it tasted! Melted in my mouth! Our waitress, Lisa was fantastic! Nothing was too much trouble, she was so attentive, so polite and professional! She is an absolute credit to your company!! Thank you so much Lisa!! We will definitely be returning very soon!

Hadn't visited this place for a while so decided to give it another go then seriously regretted it. My husband ordered the chicken steak dish but the chicken was dry and the steak over cooked. At £21 it was a lot of money to pay for a meal he didn't enjoy. When he quite rightly made a complaint at the end of the meal (as we weren't asked if everything was ok during the meal) and requested to speak to the manager, he wouldn't come to speak to us but sent a waitress to offer free desserts (we were BOTH offered) which we accepted as take aways. When we received the bill we had been charged for one of the desserts (presumably) the manager/owner informed us only one was free. He offered no apolog...

If you want to dine in style, but still have the warm comfort food this is your place to go to. They serve a wide variety of traditional meals at very very decent prices. The portions are absolutely huge as well, this considering what you’re paying for at the current times in different places. The staff is well trained and friendly and makes your experience better to be waited on from start to finish. The place is clean and well looked after for a traditional old pub, but in a modern style. They offer plenty of drinks choices too, and they have the bar area separated than the restaurant, so you can enjoy a nice quiet meal. We visited for dinner as well as for the lunch offer, which is even m...
