"We were on vacation and the reviews for this restaurant looked great. When we arrived, we were seated promptly. Unfortunately, there was no pizza available that night, which was fine because we didn't want pizza anyway. We ordered nachos as a starter to share and it was delicious. However, our main courses arrived halfway through our starter. The staff offered to take them back, but we decided to keep them as they would have gotten cold. My husband had the lasagne, which looked and tasted delicious. I chose the steak kebab, which was also tasty, but everything was piled under a mountain of chips. The lady at the table next to me ordered the same dish and hers was beautifully presented with the chips in a separate container. While the food was good, I felt a bit rushed. It was only a Monday night and several people had called to say they were running late due to traffic. The staff assured them it was not a problem as they were not very busy. We had made a reservation in advance, so we were not walk-ins."

"Disappointing... On arrival, we were told that we 'd have to be in the function room... reading elsewhere, it seems that on line booking doesn 't actually go through to the pub (or be actioned , so no restaurant tables are allocated. Seems like the system is broken from the outset. However, what followed was almost comical 8pm on a Saturday, and they 'd 'run out ' of prawns for the surf 'n 'turf... that 's OK, we ordered steaks x 4, confirming whether we wanted skinny fries or chunky chips and all was good. Only it wasn 't... they 'd run out of steaks and only had one left! So we reordered, again going through the scenario of skinny chips vs chunky chips and I 'd asked to swap the cheese on a burger to stilton. 'Oh, that sounds amazing ' said the waitress, 'but he may want to charge you more '. For a swap..? OK, go for it... Food arrives despite the order taking (which was on the bill when it arrived later , we 'd all got skinny fries, irrespective of earlier choices... oh, and no substitution of the cheese. Ordering desserts, one of the party asked for crumble... 'Custard or ice cream with that? ' 'Can I have both possibly? ' We fell around... ah, that 'll be extra!! Of course not despite the waitress asking for it (and, once again, we 'd have understood if there was a small charge... , it turned up with just custard and no comment apology explanation. It 's a shame the service is willing and friendly, but clearly the chef management have a lot to learn about offering hospitality and a welcome that goes above and beyond the transactional relationship of 'here 's your menu... '"

"I absolutely loved this restaurant. My boyfriend had visited before for a coffee break during a long bike ride, and I was really impressed when we went together. The place was incredibly cozy, and the food was amazing. I had..."

"So we were a visiting family of four, two teenagers and we were spending the weekend at Alton Towers. Having looked into staying on site as we had done when the kids were younger, we decided instead to stay local and travel in instead. Found this pub with a two bedroom apartment attached which was 1 1/2 miles from the Towers in a lovely little village next to a church. It proved to be an excellent choice and half the price compared to staying at the Towers. A roomy well presented apartment with everything a family would need for a short stay. You have to except you are staying above a busy pub and it was very busy each evening, so it did get a little noisy on occasion, but not enough to disturb our stay. Parking was also a little tight but as we were away most of the time anyway,we worked around this, no problem. The people were all very welcoming and the Wi-Fi was perfect. Although we didn’t get to eat in the pub (fully booked each night), the food did look lovely. The beers were great and we had a brilliant time. Very impressed, would happily stay again if in the area. It’s clear that as a community run pub they were doing their very best to support the village."

"We ate dinner here as a couple on a Saturday night in October. The car park was fairly full but there is a lot of space in the restaurant bar area, so we had no problem finding a table, but do book ahead. Warm and welcoming log fire with a specials board above it to supplement the regular menu. We ate a burger from the normal menu and a lamb casserole from the specials board, both were excellent. After our meals were delivered (within 20 minutes of ordering) two members of staff came to check on us. So no complaints on service but as we are both watching our weight I cannot comment on the desserts! Two draft local beers were on tap one from Marstons and one from Falstaff in Derby."
