“We came for the Brownies and ice cream. It was so delicious, I forgot to stop to take a picture, the coffee I ordered was a flat white and it was so smooth without being over milky was perfect. They were super good with my daughter, the guy lent onto the bar not in an over bearing way so that he was closer to her level so they can talk about the options she had with choosing her Brownies with ice cream which was served with fruit (strawberries and blueberries)and the icecream was served on a bed of biscoff crumb garnished with a mint sprig. The Brownies could have been served with custard but we didn't chose this so we cannot comment but I bet it's just as great.”
“First meal out of lockdown was really looking forward to it with my family all those The meal turned out to be good service was lacking was left alone for long periods of time which would be fine usually but I upon arrival We was asked if you want to sit somewhere warm in which I said yes only to be escorted to the back of the pub into premade sheds with heaters Not really what I was expecting and was constantly cold due to the heater been on timer and the wind blowing in through the open doors was okay once but I shall not be returning unless it’s to eat indoors”
“Had found this establishment on a Google search. Saw they did a 2 4 1 on lunches mid week so as we were in the area shopping decided to give it a try. It wasn’t busy. In fact we were the only two who were eating. So plenty of options on where to sit. Plenty of space between tables but set out in such a way that tables could be pulled together to accommodate large parties. It was a brightly lit dining area which appeared to be well maintained and very clean and tidy. Our server gave us our menus. Options looked different to those I had seen online. There were some special deals on but no 2 4 1 deal showing. I asked out server about this. He said the pub was under new ownership and that deal was no longer available. I pointed out it was still on the internet but he said they were unable to take it down. So please be aware if you are visiting. The menu online is not the one currently available. I went with the fish and chips at £14.95. Our server had pointed out that they had a deal on that day on any pies on the menu so my brother went with the beef and ale pie. This was only £9.95. It came with chips and vegetables. Our meals took a while to arrive. Probably because we were the only ones to have ordered food. I was disappointed with the size of the portions. I had 11 chips. My brother had 12. My portion of mushy peas was about 2 spoon fulls. But it was just as well I got a small portion of chips as they were awful. Most were very undercooked. The fish was nice. Very hot with a nice crispy batter. The peas, despite the tiny portion, were good. The tartare sauce lovely. Our server confirmed that it was their own freshly made. My brother enjoyed his pie. Again wasn’t a massive portion but he said the meat filling was tasty and tender. I went with cheesecake for dessert. It was ok. Nothing special. I would assume made off site and brought in. When my brother went for the bill he noticed we had been overcharged. An extra portion of fish and chips had beef added onto the bill. But despite this error, which was rectified, prices overall were very reasonable. Drinks especially. A pint of Birra Moretti was £5.10 and a large lime and soda £1.80. Overall there were some positives from our visit. It’s a very nice venue. But unfortunately a few things did mar our visit. We felt it was ok but they could, on another day, be better. On Google you can’t award half a star. This probably warrants 3 and a half stars. However, 4 stars would be too high so I’ve had to go with 3. We wouldn’t rule out visiting this establishment again if passing but are not likely to go specifically to visit.”
