Fish and Chips peas cold chips luke warm fish brittle overcooked.Drinks expensive very poor won’t be going back

I had the fish and it was under cooked and batter still raw I approached a member of staff about the situation but they were not interested. Very disappointed will not return.

Sunday 27th August, called for lunch for the first time at this pub. Booked under my mate Russell, 3 of us and the dog were seated in comfortable surroundings. The host was very convivial and charming. But best of all was our freshly cooked, home made beef, chicken and pork dinners. Perfectly cooked, and the gravy was to die for. It's was simply moreish. If no one was watching I'd have licked the plate clean. Call again, you bet. 5* Ken, Mark, Martin and Coco.

Popped in for some lunch and it had recently been taken over by new ownership. Friendly- Was greeted by a friendly bar manager who has great character. Was polite, greeted us by 'sir '. Was friendly all round. Served us very quickly. Drinks brought to our tables since it was quiet. Food- Ordered pizzas, burgers and child nuggets and chips £1 for child and meal was huge) All homemade meals. Pizzas handmade dough. Tasted great although one pizza was slightly undercooked. Still dusty flour left underneath that didn 't seem fully cooked but still ate it and tasted OK. Burgers were decent. All round happy. They do all the usual pub meals at great prices. 2 for £20 is a steal for 2x burger/parmos and 2x pints. Can 't beat that! Inside/out- Very clean pub throughout. Well maintained. Garden area outside is huge. Gardener was there giving it a trim. You can tell a lot about a pub with its toilets...Spotless! Soap and toilet roll there. No damages throughout. Entertainment- pool table, sports TVs. Mini park outside for kids. All round, a great British sports pub serving great food. Suited for everyone. Yup. The best one of the lot. Cobblers=poor microwave food. Gretna=microwave food. Yup....Best of the lot!!
