"Visited lunchtime 9 January as a party of five family members, two of whom were ladies in their nineties, and a dog. The booking was made several days in advance and seating requirements explained. When we arrived, no table had been allocated and it was obvious that the staff on duty were not aware of our requirements. The elderly ladies in our party were kept standing while tables were put together to accommodate us. We ordered from the two courses for £16 menu. There was a noticeably long delay before we were served our main course with no apology or explanation for this. Two of us ordered the fish and chips. Now, as the menu stated ‘fish’, we weren’t expecting prime pieces of cod but neither were we expecting a rubbery curled up piece of fish in some batter, which was hardly warm. In fact the chips were hotter. When a waitress came and asked if everything was ok with our food I explained the problem. She offered to take it back to the chef but as we had already waited a long time for our food we were not in the mood for another delay while others in our group carried on eating. There was no offer of compensation. When the main course had been cleared away we waited for someone to offer the dessert board. It didn’t happen. I had to attract the attention of a waitress to bring us the board. Another waitress took our orders. One of our party asked for the crème brûlée and was told that wasn’t on the menu as we’d been given the previous day’s board! As I’ve had to spend time on this review, I might as well point out that the glasses, containing the two ginger and lime drinks that we ordered, were not clean. As well as water stains (I assume) from the dishwasher, there were finger marks on the outside. We didn’t complain about these. We have visited this pub several times in the past, apparently under previous ownership. Maybe the management might consider whether or not they have the right calibre of waiting staff, who don’t stand around chatting, and also checking that all is ok in the kitchen."

Visited several times with friends for steak night, cant fault the quality of the food or service. One of the best steaks I have had in a very long time cooked to perfection.

We visited on Tuesday and found on our arrival it was Steak Night,. What a lucky suprise! Delicious steak, sauce and sides at fantastic value for money coupled with excellent service by Emma. Definitely recommend a visit!

We both had Sunday lunch. The food was good but didn't enjoy the turkey, it was very thin and a little hard/dry. Small bowl of greens to share between us and had to ask for more gravy. Shame it used to be lovely and plenty of it, I guess they are just trying to make you order sides.

My Dads 90th birthday 10 of us booked in for Sunday Lunch in the Library. Can not recommend this place enough the food was excellent and the staff were all so helpful and friendly (especially our server Emma). A beautiful place plenty of parking. Would recommend booking as they were very busy. Can’t wait to go back again. Thank you.

only from a lunch visit to the rock and fountains back. very impressed all the workers were nice and efficient (not have to wait between the curses;) eating was amazing -for £18.50 for 3 lunches, they can not go wrong. prawn cocktail to start all fresh and very tasty. fish and chips for net well cooked and beautiful and hot. Salmon meringue for dessert again a good size portion. I booked for my birthday meal again.

Firstly, the good points..The room we were seated in was lovely, spacious and attractively decorated. Service was great, our waiter was a lovely young man, great sense of humour and very attentive. Food was fine, not exceptional but perfectly acceptable. However, we were extremely disappointed with the portion sizes of the main course. Potato dauphinoise for example was served in a very small ramekin and those members of our party who chose chips were also disappointed with portion size. Portion sizes for starters and desserts were better.

we visited last night (saturday) to dinner at 19:15 clock for 6 family members. Online booking was very easy. when we arrived, the place was dizzy, heaving with guests. many parking spaces. we led to a private dining room in the upper floor, which was an amazing surprise. the room is large, offers space for 12 people. beautifully illuminated with a beautiful chandelier. service was fast and very friendly. the menu is extensive and affordable. we all had appetizers from the ala carte menu. we also ordered some pages for the table. eating is from this world. generous portions, perfect seasoning and beautifully presented. I recommend this place at any time on the week or the day.

So we went for the Christmas Festive Lunch. We don't mind waiting. But we waited quite a while. To help us wait they gave us two Christmas crackers. There was a paper hat in the cracker and suggestions on little slips of paper about how we might amuse ourselves. Not the usual crass jokes. But Hey. When our Festive menu arrived There was a bed of Turkey slices covering the horrors of what was underneath. There was a wheelbarrow of undercooked vegetables that were totally inedible. The plate was overloaded with green beans and broccoli stems both of which were not cooked properly. There is a fine line between al dente and raw. The menu mentioned pigs in blankets. OK maybe I was hoping for mayb...
