    1st.time visiting. Im.not sure if the pub has undergone a refurbishment but it almost doesn't look finished. The seating area in the middle doesn't.quite look like it belongs. I love my roast dinners, for me the beef was perfect almost melted in your mouth, the stuffing was tiny and quite hard.for ne it was missing a green vegetable as the appearance of the dinner was all one colour. There was a dish if red cabbage which had raisins or currents in, I've never had anything like this before and for me didnt belong. The cauliflower cheese was not cheesy at all. The chicken breast had been overcooked and quite tough

    We’d drove past this pub a couple of times and thought we should try it. Today was the day. We booked a table super easily online and were very pleased with the decor and feel of the pub, lounge and restaurant. As it was a Sunday we chose the beef roast and it did not disappoint. In fact, we’ve tried a few different pubs and restaurants around the proximity of Grantham and this one tops our list! We were amazed with the top quality soft and buttery beef and quantity of veg and tasty gravy for what felt like a low price of £18. We’ll be coming again, with guests 😁

    Four of us ate on a Friday night. The pub has a great atmosphere and the food is excellent. We struggle to eat out due to food intolerances in our group and were catered for amazing. Cannot thank George and the chef Nathan enough for checking that the menu was OK for us and for a stunning meal. We are so lucky to have such good food on our doorstep

    We didn’t stay to eat. We were not told till arrival there was a wedding in the restaurant and though we were given a table in the bar it was noisy and busy with wedding guests any though we were given drinks we left because it was clear we would not be getting a pleasant evening meal. They’ve done a great job on the pub so all credit to them but this was not good. It took us ages to find another restaurant.
