Came today for the carvery having not been here before. The service and tables were good and what you'd expect from a local pub, and good of the pub to seat 11 of us all at one long take. The carvery was excellent, and very reasonably priced. Good choices of meats and loads of different veg - the roast potatoes were a highlight! I didn't have room for any pudding but a few others on the table had them and they looked pretty impressive. Definitely coming back soon!
Really nice place and carvery, staff and locals very friendly, if you're there in a motorhome/campervan you can stay in the car park please don't leave any litter, and there's a Chinese over the road, perfect spot for a sleep over on your way north or south
Had a beautiful carvery, didn't have to wait, toilets were clean, service with a smile
Another great BCA pub thats dog friendly and very welcoming from the staff and punters. The only let down was seeing pale, citrus or fruity ales on. So took the huff and had a lovely capucino, pork pie and cob.
Friendly attentive staff. Nice atmosphere. Fish and chips good, faggots good, lasagne ok, shepherds pie ok (didn't really need the chips). Desserts so so.
Visited just for evening meal. Very good, and reasonably priced. 11 in the party, service and little slow
