I have recently returned to the pub after hearing the good news that the management has changed- the staff are now much more cheerier and happy to serve you with a smile which is always nice!
I shall be visiting the pub on a more regular basis now the management have changed.
good riddance to bad rubbish!!!!!!!!!

I have been down there a couple of times with my family and went back after some months with some other side of family. As we all walked in the waitress and bar staff looked like they seen a ghost. Everytime you smiled at them they just grunted it wouldnt hurt to smile with customer service once in a while and seemed to me that when you ring up they turn you away good way of loosing money. lovely location just a shame the people are so rude.

look forward to bringing our clients to you for christmas!

I used to eat at this pub on a regular basis but not anymore, the service is below helpful and the landlady and her colleagues look as though they are sucking on lemons- it would be nice to walk in to a pub and receive a smile upon your arrival- if you like service with a smile-I warn you to stay away from here!
The chef that was originally there and worked under the previous owners for a few years,he was a good chef. but he left suddenly recently, I have heard many different stories as to why but it all seemed a little pathetic to hear of the stories, whilst all your doing is looking to have a quiet drink. he was a coeliac himself and is the current landladys son- make of that what you will!
i have only eaten in their once since the old chef left and will ever eat in their again. it was overpriced for a shoddy meal,they are charging restaurant prices for cold/half cooked pub grub.
i am no longer a customer here and doubt I will set foot in there unless it changes hands again.

Having previously been very pleased with the food and service at this pub we returned looking forward to the interesting bar menu and a chance to enjoy the sunshine.

However the new management seem to have ripped all the interest out of the snack menu and replaced it with the stereotypical pub standard stuff you can find in any boozer across the land. Still at least it would be good quality as we were used to..... ooops.

I ordered a prawn baggette which accroding to the menu comes with salad garnish and chips (I should hope so for the price!). What I got was an uncooked pre-baked roll with the consistency of chewing gum half filed with prawns and a dollop of marie rose sauce, some rubbery wilting icerberg lettuce with one cerry tomato cut in half and NO chips. When I questioned the "waitress" (see chavy muppet)she said "did you ask for some?" and seemed oblivious to her own menu. Chips came about 2 minutes after I finished my sandwich without an apology.

My partners meal was a ploughman's and whilst there was a decent amount of cheese the stuff that came alongside was unspectacular to say the least.

It's such as shame as the pub is set in a really nice location with a beautiful walk along the river to walk off a nice lunch. I will NEVER eat here again.
