Indifferent unprofessional rude staff with no knowledege wine although they tried to advise! - window table ordered which was pased on to the staff. waitress said 'If I could change your table I would'....but there were several window tables that were unused for the whole of the time (4 hours!) that we were there!. Food not bad but could be improved easily.

I and 5 other family members had a meal at this pub a couple of weeks ago. It has recently changed hands (before the review in June 2009). There are far too many tables in the restaruant area - leaving a narrow walkway (about 3ft) between tables. The waitress, who I think was the manageress, kept calling everyone 'Sweetheart'. Food - well they have an extensive menu and specials board - I ordered paella to be told 'we havent made any today' despite it being on the board and the menu. I opted for the steak and kidney suet pudding.When it arrived it was the size of a medium xmas pudding and swamped in gravy - presumably to cover the fact that the top which was now the base (if you see what I mean) was as hard as concrete. The mixed grill which another of my party had had steak that was so overcooked you could repair shoes with it. The crispy roast duck was raw but had been covered in gravy to cover it up. The other two meals were just passably. The portion sizes are far too big - I can eat with the best of them but sent half the food back!. All in all the prices are high and the food quality below poor.There is an excellent pub 4 miles down the road in Elsworth which I shall use in future! This is a low class pub kitchen which has built an extension with a few bedrooms in it to call itself a hotel. Its a disaster.
If you want my advice - GIVE THIS A WIDE BERTH.
