The food was lovely and so was the service.It was very noisy with customers drinking at the bar, we were seated by the kitchen, was difficult to have a conversation at times because of the noise levels.

The food wasn’t very hot and I didn’t consider it value for money (£13.95), such a small amount on the plate we had to ask for more veg. Only 2 roast potatoes isn’t enough on a Sunday lunch, the gravy hardly visible so asked for more and another small amount came, it’s not like it’s expensive to produce!

Not overly busy when we got there, but no one welcomed us. We had to stand waiting at the bar for quite a while. Although there were staff there, there was only one person who seemed to know what was going on, the rest were very young and inexperienced. The food was ok, I ordered potato skins and got one which was very tasty but surely that's a skin not skins. The wings were really good - though we ordered a large plate to share we had explained that one of our party didn't like blue cheese and we were told that wouldn't be an issue. When the wings arrived they were sitting in a puddle of blue cheese. We were asked if we minded the pie coming with gravy, we said no as long as there wasn't loads - it was smothered. Why not put it in a jug on the side and then you can put on as much or as little as you like? Plate of fresh veg consisted of rings of sweetcorn, frozen peas and carrots - not sure I would class those as fresh. Also found the atmosphere lacking, but that could be down to the day and time of our visit. I have been to other pubs in the chain and really enjoyed the experience, hence our visit. I shall go back to give it another try, but in my opinion it didn't feel as though it was quite ready to open for business.

Service was very slow. Tables too close together, waitress’s bottom in our face when dealing with the table next to us. Food was very good though.

Everything was great except my treacle tart was served cold with ice cream so wasn't as enjoyable than if it had been heated up.

The restaurant is generally noisy due to there being no soft furnishings to absorb it but the live music was far too loud for a restaurant. Great if just in a pub drinking but not when you're hoping to catch up with those you've gone out to dinner with.

I like a cosy feel and the open plan makes the acoustics feel rather like a dinner hall, i feel would benefit from doors to side of fire place at least to 1 side anyway. Enjoyable evening, will be returning, my daughter will be pleased that there is somewhere more contemporary to bring her friends. Staff were lovely.
