"I booked a table at this pub which we passed a lot of times and decided we must try as it looks very inviting! I booked a table of 6 outside due to our lovely weather for 7pm. We arrived and our table was ready but as we sat down after a short while we realised it started becoming chilly. I went to see the waiter (Matt I think) see if we could seat inside who told me he pre-empted it and also got our table booked inside! That was very nice! We had the seafood platter sharer, brie wedges, garlic prawns, all served with prawn cocktail dip and home made fish pate and sliced bread. All lovely and freshly made. Then I had rump steak of the day rare which was perfectly cooked, it came with triple cooked chips, grilled tomato, a mushroom and I had a side of onion rings, they were huge! It was all freshly made which was so nice. Husband had steak and suet pudding with nice steak lumps in it. My friends had a guinea burger and the daily special of liver. All in all the meal with lovely, freshly made although a tad slow at times due to the fact that there are only 2 people serving and doing the bar also. I congratulated the chef Josh when I spotted him when we paid our bill on such a lovely meal. My only small gripe is that when we asked for a rose blush wine which they didn't have, Matt said he had a rose of provence and we said yes to that thinking it would be reasonably priced. We found out on the bill that the bottle is £30 and we had 2. I personally think he should have given is the wine list instead of selling us probably his most expensive rose on the wine list. Cheeky."

"After getting it being recommended to us, we visited the Biggles Lounge as part of the continuing Curry Tour. We visited on ‘Banquet Night’ purely by accident, but decided to take advantage of the ‘deal’. The mandatory Onion Bhajis were to be honest, disgusting. They were literally served on a pool of oil. What they lacked in taste, was certainly made up in greasiness. I managed to eat one and left the other. Not a good start. Main courses were OK – nothing outstanding, nothing special and nothing to return for. The highlight of the evening was the comedy cheese naan! It was absolutely hilarious and still makes us laugh. It was a normal naan with a bit of grated cheese on top! Possibly the worst, if not the funniest naan we have experience on tour. Despite the recommendation to us, we cannot recommend the Biggles Lounge. We fail to understand how others have found the Biggles Lounge to be apparently so good... ...it struggled to be average at the very best in our opinion. However, if you want a good laugh, order one of their cheese naans! So, so funny!"

"Great Staff, Great Food and 5* Service! The staff are great! I was visiting from the north when I called in late on a Wednesday evening for a pizza. Was warmly welcomed even though it was near closing time but was still served great food. The pizzas are top quality fresh pizzas. You will not be disappointed! Special thanks to Alan also for his kindness in helping me out. Highly recommended to visitors and locals if you're looking for great Italian food. A must for pizza lovers!"

"I used to visit this place regularly when it was number 1 in Sandy but haven't been for a while. My wife is not very keen on spicy food so frequently I visit restaurants solo and what is it that restaurants seem to have about people eating alone even at quiet times? A few months ago I entered on a Sunday lunchtime after 1pm and was told it was not yet open despite it being advertised as such. Today I went for the Sunday buffet. I was not offered any poppadums despite knowing that they are extras. The food was OK but not spicy enough for my liking. The only waiter disappeared for virtually the whole of the time so was not available to ask for more drinks. He was more interested in waiting for the arrival of a party group. I was also alarmed by the number of spiders webs visible near the roof of the conservatory and spent most of my time watching a large spider in the centre of one of them! These could easily fall into diners food. When the party arrived a member of the kitchen staff helped seat them dressed in tracksuit bottoms and trainers. They asked for a certain bottle of wine and he never even knew what it was or realised it was on their list. At the end of my meal I asked for a coffee (or tea) and basically the waiter commented that he was too busy/couldn't be bothered to make any. Not a pleasant experience. Will not be returning in a hurry which is a shame as previously enjoyed meals there."
