"Went here for the Sunday carvery which at £10 is one of the cheapest I know in the area. Large car park with a few pot holes easily avoided; it is a short walk back to the pub so I dropped my disabled mother off right outside then went to park. There are a couple of outdoor seating areas available, a swing and a trampoline for kids should the weather suit. A smoking bin is provided outside by the door for anyone needing it. Inside the pub is in the style of a traditional English country pub, extensive seating flows away to the left of the entrance with a smaller bar area on the right; leading through to what looks like a function room with large screen on the wall. I also noticed a poker table folded away so I’m guessing there are or have been some games evenings at some stage. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, greeted with a smile and an immediate offer of a drink. It wasn’t long before we were invited up to the carvery to get our food; our table being situated in the first part of the seating area to the left of the entrance by a log fire sadly not lit but it wasn’t that cold. There was a decent selection on the carvery with meat options including Turkey and beef or a nut roast. They also cater for gluten free which is great! The food itself on the carvery wasn’t too good, I found the parsnips hard, the roast potatoes were okay a little tough and the Turkey was a bit dry. The gravy, veg and pigs in blankets were lovely though. For dessert I had the apple crumble with pouring cream, it was okay, a little tasteless and could have done with some sugar I guess for taste. The coffee after was very good. There is free Wi-Fi available with no password required just select the BT guest option, agree to their terms and conditions and you’re in. The pub is also dog friendly which is great! Based on this experience I wouldn’t come back for the carvery but I would like to try the normal menu on another day. The pub and staff overall are great."
