"If I could give 0stars I would. Immediately entered and came to the bar as one of my friends went to find the loo. Within seconds of entering, I was confronted to ask what we wanted and informed them she has just gone to the loo then we are ordering to then have a response of well normally customers come to me and ask what they want not try look for it in a very stern and patronising manor. Instantly was looking up and down and asked where I was from. After buying a round of drinks and going for a smoke it was as though we was on constant surveillance for no reason. Terrible atmosphere when was paying customers with giving them nothing but respect. Had that drink and left. Will not be giving my money to them again."

"Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday for drinks. The pub is very quaint and food is good (from previous experience) but that is where the positivity ends. We were told on ordering our drinks at 3:35 that this was last orders and they closed at 4 despite all online literature saying 5pm. Not too much of an issue in insolation really these things happen. My husband returned to the bar for crisps to overhear the land lady complaining that she couldn 't get closed up to enjoy the sunshine as people kept coming to the bar. We all have a moan now and again about work but maybe this should be done in private rather than in front of the customers who are here to support your business? Then it went downhill. Whilst there I potentially lost an important item but didn 't realise until the next day. So on Tuesday when passing I popped in to see if it had been handed in as this was the last time I knew I had it. The pub looked open from the front all signs out and the beer garden door was unlocked. On opening it was dark inside so I just popped my head round the door and called out 'Hello '. After another 'hello ' the landlady stuck her head around a corner and my interaction went as follows: Me: Hi I 'm so sorry to interrupt but I was here Sund.... Her: We are closed (very abrupt and rude) Me: Oh I 'm sorry the door was unlocked can I just ask if.... Her: NO we are closed you have to leave. I am just a chef here I don 't know anything. Leave now. Me: Umm ok I just Her: GO AWAY Me: OK, do you have a number I can call about lost property, its just it is a very important key Her: Find it online now you need to leave. Get off the property!! Me: There is absolutely no need to be so rude, don 't worry I will take my business elsewhere I am still pretty shocked at being spoken too with such unprovoked rudeness. I did not just barge into the pub I popped my head round the door to ask a question. I apologized as I hadn 't quite realized they were closed as you can 't really see in through the door. Also to barefaced lie and tell me she was just a chef? Having been a few times I very well know she is the land lady. It 's ok if you can 't help me but just be polite or at the very least civil. Absolutely disgusted and certainly will not be back. So disappointing as the pub used to be so welcoming a few years ago, we used to go a lot. Local businesses need all the support they can get right now so why on earth would you treat people like this?"

"I stopped by this restaurant today on my way to a job, since I was early to see a customer. As always, I checked TripAdvisor in the hopes of finding a nice place for breakfast. The restaurant was nicely decorated and the staff were friendly enough. The breakfast looked okay at first glance, but it was completely ruined by the worst tasting beans I have ever had. The beans had a funky and indescribable taste, almost like soapy water mixed with brown sauce. I thought beans would be the easiest thing to get right - just open a tin, heat them up, and serve. Unfortunately, I was sadly mistaken."

"The whole evening felt chaotic and poorly organised. Several things on the menu were not available. We waited a very long time for our food and drinks. A glass of wine, when it finally came, was not the wine ordered (with no apology). The food was horrible. Salmon hideously overcooked and solid in parts, chewy in others. Bao bun defrosted in the microwave, burger overcooked, duck like old boots. Other bun left in the microwave too long and turned to rock. Wondering if there was a chef in the kitchen at all on this evening. Waitresses doing their best but we were extremely unimpressed."

"This accommodation seemed like a nice country retreat when we booked. The welcome just covered that, with staff involved seeming to be rathe preoccupied. The room was cold and one might say 'dank ' as if we were the first to set foot in there this season [and it was June] It was stated in the booking that one had to provide ones own bed linnen and towels, there were towels and one of the beds was made up. The beds were 'well used ', so could have been better. There is wifi, but it 's so intermittent and weak [in the room] that in fact there is no wifi. The guest policy needs looking into as we were kept up one night by rowdy guests in a nearby room. we had to go and ask for coffee, tea and milk [provided] to fill up the supply, again the staff were 'very busy ' and 'things are stored away '. We did not use the pub facilities which seemed very nice and welcoming."
