Stopped by chance for Sunday roast, was excellent. Carvery served by waitress due to COVID-19 restrictions, but plenty of food, and really tasty. One of the best roasts I’ve had out of home.

A group of us 61 in all were booked in for the sunday carvery, 1pm for 1.30. Found eleven to a round table so tightly squeezed elbow to elbow, our first carvery serving was late, and the last table to be served was at 3pm as they then were waiting for veg. Only one member of staff for our tables and the poor member of staff had to see to the usual persons coming in for a carvery.
Not being to a carvery before at this pub, rather concerned that you had to go past all in the bar to reach the carvery and then back again with hot plates and food. There was real confusion where we paid individually for our meal, told we would be paying at the table and then found through people going to there cars that we had to pay at the bar. A very disappointing visit.

We have been to this pub lunch time during the week and the service and food was excellent.
