Visited here for dinner for the first time since it has reopened after refurbishment and under new management. Nicely decorated and the place is spotless. The only irritation was a few little fruit flies flying around which is annoying when drinking wine as they seem to be very attracted to it. Also the chairs in the dining area are not comfortable to sit on. Next time I'll try the banquettes. The atmosphere in the pub was quiet overall, even though football was on. It was not loud or raucous. In the dining section it was dead, as we were the only two diners. There had been another couple but they departed shortly after our arrival. Our burgers were good, onion rings were very good and battered, not breaded. Unfortunately I had to send my fries back as they were not hot. The replacement was freshly cooked and piping hot. The fries are served already salted, quite heavily so. Although I didn't mind the fries coming already salted, this may not be to other diners liking and is something to be aware of. A nice touch was that we ordered with the waitress at the table, rather than going to the bar. The waitress was very efficient, friendly and polite. Value wise, tonight was 2 for 1 on burgers so it was a very good deal.
Came for Sunday dinner and watched a rugby game. It is so nice to be at this pub seeing it return to being a friendly, well run family friendly local. The landlord and landlady are watching everything and going above and beyond for their customers. The staff are well trained, smart and attentive. Well done all. See you when you re-open.
First visit after the renovation. The pub looks very nice inside as does the outside seating area. The two waitresses who served us were very friendly. Unfortunately unable to give 5 stars though which is a shame as the food was very nice with a good choice on the menu. Unfortunately the speed of the food coming out was really slow. It was a Tuesday and there were only a few other people eating but our main meals took quite a long time. We then we had to ask twice where the desserts were after waiting nearly 25 minutes and there was no one else waiting for food by then.
All of this wouldn't have been a problem on a weekend but we didn't expect to wait so long on a weekday. We will return as the staff are friendly, it's a nice pub with reasonable prices but I would hope the next time the food comes out quicker.
