We booked the conservatory for a surprise 80th birthday party.. to begin with the staff were amazing and extremely helpful. From start to finish the communication wasn't too much trouble. Food was beyond our expectations, everything homemade and delicious. We would definitely recommend and will now be on our list for our next afternoon out. Just perfect!!
Avoid at all costs! Dirty, Overpriced, Bad Food & Cold. Booked a table for 12pm to have supposedly "The Best Sunday Lunch" according to a poster in the gents toilet. Spoiler alert.. it was far from it. As mentioned, we booked a table for 12pm and arrived at 11:57am we were then greeted by a polite yet very apologetic (for no apparent reason) member of staff witch took us to our table. We were given a choice of two tables one in the very back in what looked like an extension or one in a room off to the side of the kitchen/bar area. The member of staff advised that it might be cold in the extension so we opted to sit in the latter mentioned room. I'd hate to imagine how cold it was in the extension as thorough our time there we had to wear our coats and we were still cold. We then placed our order with the member of staff at around 12:05pm and then proceeded to wait 50 minutes for our Lamb Sunday Lunch to arrive. This would have been fine if the pub/restaurant was full but we were the only two people eating in the whole place! Whilst waiting for our food all we could hear was staff in the kitchen laughing and swearing very loudly the whole time, not exactly a relaxing atmosphere. When the food did finally arrive the member of staff acknowledged that it was a long wait on food and apologised. Now, if the food was good then all of this could have been excused, but to top everything off it was terrible! Especially for the price. The lamb had been sliced up in to wafer thin slices 50% of which was fat and was cold arriving to our table the rest of the meal (veg, gravy & potatoes) was very salty and was ironically very bland and uninspiring. We will certainly not be back and will advise friends and family to avoid at all costs. Some other notes about this place: - The whole interior is dated and dull - Not enough light in the eatery as I could barely see my partner sitting across the table. Personally I felt it was a tactic so that you couldn't see the horrendously overpriced food that they were serving you. - The floors were dirty as you can see from the pictures. - Table wobbled and had around 10 folded paper/cardboard coasters to rectify the issue that had clearly been there for a long time. see picture. - Toilets were dated an dirty, the type of restroom that you'd expect to see in a public WC at the rough end of a town. - Witnessed a kitchen staff member at the bar filling a pint glass with beer for himself. Not exactly what you want to see as a customer. This place has so much potential to be an amazing eatery and is clearly being failed by whomever is running the place. A real shame!
On surface level this is a really good pub…. But…. Major management issues. We waited over an hour 15 minutes for 2 steaks, after being told the steaks we’d ordered weren’t available (they did upgrade our steaks for free which was nice). The menu said the steaks came with peas, but instead we were given a bit of average lettuce, which isn’t great pairing. The staff seemed quite stressed and rushed, trying to take our drinks before the glasses were empty. A new worker seemed confused due to perhaps a lack of leadership. Others had long wait times for food too, seems they could do with an extra chef. The lady who seemed like the manager snapped at another group. The food itself just to clarify, was excellent. This could be a really special pub if only the management was a bit stronger. Lovely building and architecture. We would come again if there was a sign up for new management.
Staff where lovely!! We were out for a special birthday treat, so I treated myself to the most expensive steak on the menu. This was my £30 fillet steak which I asked for RARE 😞 It was very well done round the outside, with a slight hint of pink in the middle. I should have just gone for the fish and chips.
Popped in for lunch with my mum yesterday. I was so impressed with the menu and the food. Something different to what else is around. All really tasty food quality and fresh. I had the Pork which was mouthwatering and my mum had the beef which was perfectly cooked and tender. We also couldn’t resist desert but the portions were huge so had to take most home. Will definitely be back soon
