"Went here for a meal last night with my inlaws. Hadn't been before, I purely picked this pub because it was half way between our house and my inlaws house and it seem to have really good reviews! But......I'm sorry to say that we were really disappointed! The staff were lovely and accommodating, so kudos to them for that! But the food was shocking! First of all, they had run out of most things on the menu. There was absolutely no vegetarian options, as they had run out of both vegetarian options on the menu. So I asked them to make me the pasta dish without the meatballs and bulk it out with veg instead. The pasta came out, as for the veg they were supposed to bulk it out with, I ended up with 2 solitary pieces of stemmed brocoli on the top of pasta in tomato sauce! My mother inlaw's lamb came out, and it was as tough as leather and looked so small and unappetising! My husband's steak which he asked for medium well, was rare (although they did send out some cheese and biscuits as way of an apology and took some money off of this dish). The food didn't seem like it was cooked by a chef at all. It tasted and looked like half reasonable home cooking. The sticky toffee pudding seemed to have come out of a tin and had been microwaved! The portions were tiny for the the prices we paid! Burger buns were very small! They had run out of the peppercorn sauce, the beef cheek, both vegetarian dishes, mushrooms (which was supposed to come with the steak). Given the fact the menu is fairly small, there was a large percentage missing, which just caused disappointment and regret for choosing here to eat! I have to be honest and say I probably wouldn't come back here with how things are right now. I think there is a lot to be worked on. It says online that this is a gastro pub, but the food quality and options were nowhere close to being gastro I'm afraid! The staff were lovely, so the foundations are good. But everything else needs huge improvement! One last thing I must mention is the fact we booked a table, but ended up outside on bench seats. My inlaws are fairly old with my father inlaw having alot of osteo problems, my husband also has back problems. The seats were incredibly uncomfortable and we all had to keep getting up! The bench table we had was also uneven, so didn't meet the floor properly and was rocking all evening. It wasn't what you'd expect from a booked table. I don't mind sitting outside, as space inside is limited, but you need to have tables with proper wooden chairs with backs on them for the booked tables."
