Walked in and four of us seated. Minimal starters on the menu but the main courses absolutely fantastic. Ribeye Steak so tender and large portion size, if you order Ribs expect the rack and tasted excellent. Dinner portions not for people with a weak appetite. All the meals placed on the table were served hot and in a timely fashion. Gary in the restaurant worked hard and so friendly and polite. This would be my local if I lived in the area. I will be back.
Friendly staff and attentive service. Delicious proper homemade hearty and tasty meals. My husband had the Steak and Ale Pie which was full of large chunks of tender meat topped with yummy shortcrust pasty, he chose the chips instead of mash, all served with lashing of gravy (he opted to have no accompanying veg). I had delicious spaghetti bolognese - really tasty. Great value too. Edit: The next day we returned to eat here. Delicious food, huge portions, very attentive, friendly and helpful staff. This time I had the steak and ale pie and it was absolutely delicious, and cannot believe how full it was with tender chunks of beef in a yummy rich gravy/sauce. Plus perfectly cooked broccoli and carrots, and fab chips and lashing of gravy in a gravy boat. Thank you again for a lovely and brilliant value meal 2 nights running.
