Visited here today with my family (6 in total and a little one ☺️) and it was really fabulous! It looks like it’s been recently taken over and re-opened with a new menu. The menu consists of lots of burger choices, chicken and beef and 2 veggie burger options. I had the “No-Fun-Guy” burger, best veggie burger I’ve had for years! I wish I’d taken a picture of the menu as there’s lots to choose from. They also do chicken wings with a sauce of your choosing, topped fries amongst other sides to go with your meal. They do an amazing selection of milkshakes and the lovely man behind the bar made my 3 year old Nephew a delicious white chocolate one. The guy serving us all today was fantastic, really nice and welcoming and couldn’t do enough. The chef seemed equally as lovely and was happy to hear the food had gone down a treat for us all. Wishing them all the success with the pub moving forward.

Visited here on a Sunday afternoon. We where looking for something spacious with the current pandemic and we weren't disappointed. It was relatively quiet surprisingly, and very spacious. My mum uses an electric wheelchair which was easily accommodated. You have to use the side door as there is a step accessing a lovely beer garden. This wasn't a problem for us as she can walk short distances and we where close to the door so she could still go outside to smoke once we had been seated. We where sat by the pass so got to inspect much of the food as it was being taken out, everything looked amazing. The staff where welcoming and service was quick, we had our drinks within minutes of arriving and food didn't seem to take too long either. We both opted for burgers, although once we saw the Sunday roasts agreed to try them next time. I had a chicken burger and honestly one of the nicest I've had. The chicken was cooked perfectly. My mum enjoyed her hamburger aswell, clearly all fresh ingredients. Definitely our new pub lunch place.

Booked a table for 3 people in late November. Recieved confirmation. Got there today to be told pub has new management and they dont take bookings , so no table for us. Fortunately the young lady behind the bar sorted us a table and a kind man moved for us so we could sit in a quieter area. We waited ages for the food which when eventually arrived was lovely. Hats off to the young lady behind the bar who was multitasking, serving drinks, serving food etc and apologising to us for delay etc. I'm guessing its all teething problems at the moment , really hope you get it all sorted and pub back up and running smoothly. Thankyou for the free drinks for inconvenience.
