| Popped in the other day enticed by the sign which read "Free House" expecting to find myself in a pub (remember those?) only to find a restaurant with a small uncomfortable pew for drinkers. With beer at £3.50 a pint and a bag of nuts at £1 I felt I'd been had. Fortunately my missus wasn't with me as a glass of wine would have broken the bank. vladtheimbiber - 23 Apr 2012 09:04 |
| Revisited this place after a couple of years and I'm impressed. It is still expensive but the quality is better than previously. It still lacks some pub atmosphere in the actual building but there is nowhere better in the area to while away a sunny afternoon with a few friends and drinks. Food is ambitious (tries to be all things to all people, posh food but toasties too!) and pretty good, but not as good value as, say, the Samuel Fox in Bradwell. Welcoming service and food all day told me someone is serious about making this place a real success. Good luck to them dry_riser_inlet - 17 Jun 2010 21:59 |
| Stayed here last week. Lovely room. Really excellent food and ale and good staff. Will certainly stay here again. nicgooner - 19 Mar 2009 11:34 |
| Visited this pub recently ............. Nice welcome from landlord and his family ...... Premises clean, cosy and tables in restaurant looked inviting. Asked if beef was 'pink' and advised it was but could be served well-done if required. Ordered 2 x well-done beef Sunday lunches and asked if gravy could be served in a boat to be on 'the safe side' since neither of us like a plate of gravy. Both meals arrived 'dripping in pink' ........ but were returned for extra grilling. About 15 minutes later they arrived back, beef cooked as initially requested, albeit both now with plates 'swimming' in gravy. Nevertheless, we accepted since we were in a hurry, only to find both the plates and vegetables stone-cold. The vegtables were solely a few 'cubed' root vegetables resembling something from a Birds Eye bag. We both ate only a little and politely expressed our disappointment asking why so much could go wrong with two simple orders since they were not overly busy, in fact only a few were dining in the restaurant that day. We would have liked the landlord to have apologised since he was chatting to various customers and not 'rushed off his feet' and even perhaps offered a 'return incentive' such as an offer of two complimentary glasses of wine. To be fair we were only charged for one meal but it ruined our Sunday lunching and we both left still feeling hungry and disappointed. We were not seeking a cheap meal, just a simple Sunday roast with a reasonable selection of vegetables presented as ordered. This may have been a one-off experience but we do not have any plans to repeat it. My rating is for the overall experience. Myview1 - 29 Jan 2009 12:25 |
| Country pub which seems to be trying to leave it's roots behind. A large building, it has a fair-sized carpark, lovely location and an excellent, secluded beer garden. For me, that is where the plus marks stop. I usually enjoy visit's to 'Sawdays' recommended pubs, but not this time. For instance, in a pub, which this claims to be, I like to be greeted with something along the lines of 'What will it be then', not have two menus shoved in my hand with the comment that 'the restaurant is full, sir, you'll have to sit here'. Three real ales were on hand, I tried the TT Landlord but is was rather tired. The food was fair, no more than that, and the sevice was smooth, too smooth, no real welcome in it. My rating 6. This comes largely from it's location and the feeling that on another day it might be better. A real disappointment.......... Runningdog - 13 Sep 2008 15:07 |
