"We used the Pizza takeaway service a couple of times and the Pizza 's were absolutely stunning. Stonebaked and plenty of your chosen toppings, which were all very fresh. This prompted us to try their resteraunt food. We decided on a Sunday lunch, we sat in the bar area as we had our dogs with us and we were politely informed that they were not allowwed in the main resteraunt area fair enough . The table looked as though it had not been cleaned in a decade. My daughter cleaned it off with some baby wipes we had in the dog bag and three of them were almost black. We had already purchased drinks at the bar and taken them to our table with us. The young woman from behind the bar bought us over the Sunday lunch menu. We chose our starters; Creamy garlic mushrooms with a side salad Garlic mushrooms were in fact in a tart, not many mushrooms and not really much in the way of garlic! Salad was limp and consisted of lettuce and a piece of tomato! . Prawn cocktail a reasonable percentage of the prawns were still frozen! Salad...same story! . Pate and crusty bread with chutney Pate was ok. Crusty bread was three slices of a demi baguette toasted very hard . Chutney was insipid and tasted of not much at all!. We had approximately a 15 min wait between starter and main. We asked for a vegetarian sunday lunch and was asked if we would like beef or chicken gravy??? Then we orded a chicken roast and a steak pie you didn 't get an option with the veg, chips and microwaved, watery mashed swede! Vegetarian meal was a total tragedy. Concrete mashed potato, sloppy microwaved swede. Roast potatoes cooked in either beef dripping or goose fat and one small piece of parsnip cooked in the same! And a training football sized, rock hard yorshire pudding, that had also been cooked in animal fat! Chicken roast. Rubber chicken, I am sure it would have bounced if we had tried! Concrete mash, microwaved sloppy swede. The obligatory animal fat roasted parsnip and roast potatoes. Not forgetting the rock hard Yorkshire pudding that was about the size of a training football. There were vegetables to be shared between these two meals.... 'A selection of fresh vegetables '. The cabbage was boiled to within an inch of its life and the carrots were dried out in the middle, that was the entire vegetable selection! The steak pie was served with chips and sloppy microwaved swede. The chips were ok, but well over cooked. Swede awful, no flavour. The steak pie...wasn 't exactly a pie, it was a dish of actually quite nice tender stewed steak with a rich beef gravy with a puff pastry top. The puff pastry top was nearly 3 inches deep and hard as a bullet, you just needed to look at it and it exploded. Plusses: Staff are friendly and helpful Prices would be reasonable if the food was any good!! The location of the pub itself Great Pizza! The resteraunt area is bright and inviting Minuses: Had to teach the bar staff how to pull a Guiness properly! Most of the food is awful There are on average three different sports being shown at the same time in the bar area, making it very noisy. The non restaraunt pub area seating and area doesn 't look as though it has had a decent deep clean since the banning of smoking in pubs! The pub area is quite dark and dingy. Last food orders are taken at 18:50 ten to 7pm! !!!!"
