  I'm rating it 3 stars because the menu online is misleading to the menu at the pub. The staff and everything else are great though.

  Waitress was amazing, first rate, friendly, considerate and helpful, despite being the only waitress on duty. My wife and I had steak mine was ok, my wife's was poor full off gristle and fat. Chips were not good although edible. Pity because if the owners / manager improved the food quality to match their waitress, it's ideal place to make our goto locally. As it was when it first opened years ago.

  Our "VIP" Experience ​We stayed at the Premier Inn next door and, having the foresight to book a table in advance, we foolishly expected a decent seat. Instead, we were elite-ly positioned right at the back of the pub, perfectly nestled between the ladies' loos and a group that sounded exactly like Rylan’s mum on a megaphone. Note to management: what exactly is the point of booking ahead if we get relegated to the toilet corridor? (Note: It wasn't even that busy) ​To be fair, the food was actually pretty good. The drinks, however, required a small mortgage compared to Wetherspoons prices. ​The Subtlety of a Sledgehammer By 9:30 PM, the staff decided to start aggressively tidying up around us. Nothing says "please leave" like the soothing soundtrack of stacking chairs and sweeping brushes—mind you, they don't actually close until 11:00 PM. Delightfully relaxing. ​The Grand Finale Because it was a warm evening, we took our overpriced drinks out to the beer garden. Around 10:10 PM, I wandered back inside for a toilet trip and a final round, only to find they had completely locked up and closed the pub. ​No warning. No "last orders." Just locked doors. ​We double-checked their website, which clearly stated an 11:00 PM closing time. I suppose telling your remaining paying customers that you're locking them out in the garden is just too much to ask. ​Verdict: Decent grub, but if you want to finish your evening without being prematurely evicted by a staff team eager for an early bedtime, maybe look elsewhere.
