Had an excellent roast dinner here earlier this year.
The restaurant was very busy, but service was quick and the food good.

Their high prices for what I would call basic fayre have put us off visiting more often.

I have just returned from a meal for two at Heron On The Lake - the 4th time that we have 'given them another chance'as we were dissatisfied with the service and food. But again, although the menu boasted creative meals we were shocked at the cheap quality of the food, given the prices.
The meals were aroumnd ten pounds and consisted of reconstituted watery chicken with diluted Dolmio. Having said that the staff were lovely and agreed not to charge us. I will say that the late dressing - when it did arrive was not lemon and chive, but mint sauce with olive oil. It ruined the meal (and my throat's still burning from something in it!) but they were good enough not to charge for it. Our conclusion - the staff were slow but friendly and fair, but the quality of the food was majorly poor and over-priced. I feel like they took me for a fool and there will be no 5th chances.

I went there last October with my wife and two kids and a friend with his wife and two kids, And thought the food service and beer was excellent. Top marks to the waiter who I think was Australian, He could not do enough for us. Definitley go back again.

Have been to this pub on and off for a long time (even from the Dakota days!) and the food does seem to yo yo in quality…but never been that bad.
Seems to have turned into seating and table service now, however went last Sunday and i can safely say i had one of the nicest fish and chips and the girlfriend had the nicest fillet steak we have had in a long time. Service was a little slow, but friendly and was worth the wait. However I recollect being annoyed before that you need to order you vegetables separately...or you could be eating a lump of meat on its own!! Do try though...assuming the chief stays!

Our food and drink were both lovely, but we felt either invisible or unwelcome most of the time. We loitered at the "wait here to be seated" board but nobody came over. At the bar it seemed that for ages we couldn't even get eye contact - let alone a drink.

Later, they put all the parasols down on the decking where we were seated well before last orders. We had two more rounds after they did this, although we had to go around to the front door to get to the bar because they'd also locked the patio doors into the pub! I came away feeling as if this is a place that doesn't care much about its customers.
