Really nice area at the back of the pub with a lot of fresh air. The tables were placed with distance in order to follow the covid measurements . The food and the beer was delicious. The burger came with chips and they were fulling. The price was 10 pounds because the pub follows the eat out scheme.

First time here, superb place. Friendly welcome for me and my 15 and 17 year old kids. Covid precautions top notch. Great choice of cask ale, the ones I tried were in great condition. Food was excellent two interesting chicken dishes and a burger between us, good sized portions and well made. Can really recommend, we'll be back!
We went to this pub on Friday afternoon, now normally this place would be heaving, great atmosphere, lovely food and drinks etc. We walked in and the place was deserted which is very unusual for a Friday. We soon found out why. Instead of ordering at the bar or having table service which is the norm in most places, you are told to order via their website (not even an app - i downloaded it but it doesn't work). I managed this but imagine a person less tech savvy or a person without a mobile or mobile data? The ordering process is also difficult with each alcoholic drink having a price of say 1.40 then you click on pint and it adds 2.80. Very strange! Anyway, the drinks came swiftly after ordering but I fail to see why the 3 bar staff they had on - who were all laughing and carrying on behind the bar - couldn't have taken our order and brought the card machine over or we could have just ordered at the bar and paid by card. What if someone only had cash? Most places now cater for bar ordering or table service, to only have a website ordering system is ludicrous. You can tell by the fact the place was empty that people are voting with their feet. A couple came in just after us and after being told about the ordering system they left straight away. We won't be back in the near future.
Great place to visit for Sunday lunch. Food was great, serving size was excellent. Service was friendly, and the pub is also very dog friendly.
Disappointing. The bar itself was excellent, with a warm cosy atmosphere and excellent choice of music. Beer and food were spot on. Service quick and friendly. Our issue was a number of tables were clearly from mixed households, and unlike other pubs we frequent, staff weren't challenging this. I don't support the rules myself, but I follow the law and am missing out on time with my own family. It's a shame a minority are spoiling it for the rest of us.
