Let me preface this with; the front of house staff were commendable and very polite and I feel they did a great job. There’s a “but” here. But, despite the good service I was provided, the quality of the food was found wanting. My complaints, are that the 12 ounce steak, was dry as a bone, the peppercorn sauce was not (it tasted like something that had expired and was just foul), the garlic bread with cheese was microwaved garbage it flopped as I picked it up and was utterly sodden on one side where the water had been at one point, my chips/fries were lacking in any flavour. My partners mash potato tasted as if it had come from a packet, the chicken and mushroom pie had the texture of something frozen and was incredibly disappointing. My friends steak was medium to well done when asked for Rare it was incredibly disappointing. I had to do something I’ve never done before, I returned food, to which the staff were very courteous and refunded me for my meal. I’m disappointed in the quality of the food, I think if the menu was restricted down to a few items on the menu that the chef can definitely cook, that would benefit the pub greatly. In terms of cleanliness; I was informed to pick up my menu from the “… blue rack over there…”, okay fine, only upon inspection, the menus looked liked they hadn’t been cleaned in months, the sauces hadn’t been checked if they were empty (a few were, I had to swap out the empties). The tables looked like they hadn’t been wiped in a few hours, there were empties on tables where customers had been and gone (during my hour or so there) that needed cleaning up. Overall my experience was not positive, the staff were very kind and friendly, which is why I have to rate one star. I hope, I can come back in the future and not only have better food, but a better experience overall. In the mean time. I sadly won’t be returning, despite the lovely environment of the pub.

Nice place. Sky sports, so watched the cricket from Trent Bridge. Very pleasant. Good standard food, served quickly. Not fancy, not high end, but recommended. Friendly staff. And let's face it - that is the main thing.
