We didn't eat so I can't score anything. The staff are Brilliant, quick to serve and effectively get large orders together. We were part of the Ackworth Tractor Run. They know how to work in a rush.
We did see a facebook reveiwer and looked good ,we got steak ok but everthing is swiming in oil ,wife got hunter chicked a good piece of chicken no sign of barbecue sauce and swiming in oil. Starter prawn cocktail no prob, garlic mushrooms,sauce ok mushrooms greasy dropped into sauce spoiling the flavour . Chips good portions skin on chips very greasy Staff great and i will give it another go i urge everyone to support these type of pubs
Great pub, was welcomed in with a smile, we went for a birthday meal which we enjoyed. Fresh cooked food, decent portions and at a fair price. Was a little quiet but it was a Thursday, good range of drinks to chose from and plenty of seating. Thanks
Good local pub. Looks the part inside, and good food. Also 2 hand pulled ales on. Such a shame though that the pub is so tatty outside since getting taken over. Flaking paint, weeds, broken faded A frame benches. For such a prime pub, it should look so much better on the exterior.
Had a lovely beef sandwich today. Lovely atmosphere and lovely staff. The you man serving was exceptional! Extremely polite and made you feel welcome. A credit to the brown cow.
