  We booked a table for four at 13:30 on Monday lunchtime. When we arrived, we were informed that several menu items were unavailable, which was disappointing to hear straight away. Although the food came out quickly, the quality wasn’t acceptable. The lasagne was burnt, and the onion bhaji was so overcooked it was black and rock hard. Over halfway through the meal we were asked how everything was, and we raised the issues. A replacement bhaji was offered, but we declined. The restaurant was almost empty, so we expected much better standards. We’d heard great things and were really looking forward to trying it, but unfortunately we won’t be returning.

  We were 3 weary travelers from the States . We were on a genealogy quest to St James in Papplewick. We stumbled upon this WONDERFUL pub. The food & service was out of this world amazing! My Mother inlaw had the bangers and mash. The gravy was the BEST EVER! I went the “safe” route with a burger but I dipped my fries in that gravy. My husband had mac&cheese with a side of maple glazed sausage. Food & atmosphere was just what we were looking for- an old English pub. We had visions that our relatives might have had a pint here. ~but ~ Here comes the GREATEST PART!! We were “stranded” because we no phone service. The pub let us use their phone to call a taxi. The taxi didn’t have any time to take us to our next destination til 16:30. That wasn’t gunna work. So the nicest patron Chris allowed us to use his Uber app to get a ride. Keep in mind that it’s cold & pouring down rain. Chris was in shorts. He stood outside with us till we got in the Uber & on our way. There are not enough words to describe how awesome this place was. Our waitress was Heather and she was the best waitress we have ever had. So kind!!!! BRAVO WELL DONE!
