Came here for lunch on our way back to Manchester. Great outdoor space, definitely a plus if you travel with children or dogs. Food was good and so was the service. We waited a bit for the food and the overall could have been a little bit warmer. The roasted potatoes were a bit on the burnt side, while some of the veg needed a bit more cooking. They were all still tasty. Meat was cooked well. The gravy could have been a bit thicker but that is just a preference. I would recommend and come back if in the area.
Had dinner 6 of us Saturday 1st April. The pub was super busy and a very large group came in and blocked the whole bar area. Not the pubs fault but they were really noisy. We couldn't hear ourselves think and couldn't talk to one another around the table. Food was mixed. Burgers wete very nice. There wasn't really any consistency of portion sizes as one had far more chips than the other. I had the fish and chips. It was nice but quite greasy which gave me issues later that night. 3 of our party had belly pork. 2 of them struggled to cut it. Would be better served with a steak knife and would have been great of the crackling was crispy and fat rendered. Sadly served with frozen green beans. That is the easiest veg to cook fresh takes no time at all. Shame. Dauphenoise potatoes again not consistent in size 2 of the meals had very small portions. We were told that they had been let down by a staff member phoning in and it showed. We didn't get sauce bought after we asked and we couldn't get another drink so it was a shame. I would try it again as the menu was nice. Maybe I would avoid Saturday night.
Wow wow wow. Where do I begin with this place?? This is by far one of the best places we've had Sunday lunch (and we love a good roast!). I am vegetarian and so had the nut roast and my husband had the beef & chicken. It was delicious!! The portions sizes were incredible, you get such good value for money. It's also dog friendly had has such a welcoming atmosphere. Shame we love 1 hour 40 mins away but we will certainly be returning soon, it was that good!!!
The place itself is very nice, The staff are all very friendly and the service is exceptional. They are very attentive to their guests and always alert to their tables. There is an easy access door for wheelchair access. The place is very cosy and has a great outdoor area. The food was very nice and well priced. The toilets are very clean. I would highly recommend to anyone who likes good food, good atmosphere and good staff. 10/10
Edit - We went again today and sat outside. Again the service was exceptional from all the staff and the food and atmosphere was perfect for the hot day. Thanks again guys, see you soon!
Enjoyed chilling in the garden while waiting for our food. My kiddo ordered the PFC which was very flavorful. Would highly recommend. Same for the filthy chips. In fact, everything we ordered was great. I don't think you can go wrong. Even a "basic" Caesar salad was far from.
Ordered the roast chicken, and half a chicken turned up on the plate. Delicious as long as you like garlic. Served with big Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, parsnip, carrot and vegetables in a side dish.
It took quite a while for them to take our order, but when the food came it was tasty. Staff are friendly. Loaded fries are yummy! Knickerbocker glory was fab too!
Came here for a work party, had a great time!
Staff were very accommodating, and even gave us a private room that had become available!
Food was pretty good, although the all day breakfast wasn't great at all.
Visited Thursday evening - great garden and service. The dinner menu is extensive but we all agreed that nothing really jumped out... Quality was good, portions were on the small side for the price. As a pub for drinks and a quick bite, fantastic. For dinner... I'd look elsewhere.
Nice pub.
Expensive! diet coke pint on tap £3.50
Burger ( the egg man) and chips £16.50
You don't get that many chips in a tiny bucket, no salad, small container of coleslaw. Burger was massive and taste good but still left feeling hungry afterwards.
So for £20 meal it's poor value. They do a deal apparently 2 burgers for price of one but that isn't available on Sundays.
Nice setting for the pub and the beer garden is lovely.
