Reviews Cumberland

Having read the reviews we were a bit unsure about the parking here, risk of fines etc. I was taking a family member to the hospital and we’d talked several times about popping in here one day, today was the day. Our plan was to park, get food and a coffee, before an appointment. To me the signs were clear that it was a paid car park. They were on the entrance driving in as well as a several dotted around the car park, and a pay machine right by the door. The pricing info was only next to the payment machines, but that’s okay. I’ve posted pics to help others. Once we’d paid parking it was easy to reclaim inside the pub along with food. cash and cards accepted at the machine - DONT pay by Paybyphone if you want to reclaim. I think my advice is simply: read the instructions. One thing I’m still not sure about is that the sign says you have to give car details inside the pub, but I wasn’t asked for it and the receipt system doesn’t need that, so that part of the signs could be clearer. Max parking time is 4hrs. The staff were friendly - a pleasure. The service was lightning quick. And the fish and chips was tasty. The prices of the food with the 2-for-1 offer you really can’t fault. When I paid for food I simply handed the staff the receipt for £9 parking and it was subtracted from the bill. No hassle, no questions, no issues. I’m sure we’ll be back again. There were only two minor negatives.. 1) the steps up from the car park to the pub need looking at. My mum uses a walking stick and found the first step quite high. 2) outside the pub, walking to the hospital the trees are overgrown so you have to duck under them.

The staff were lovely, the food was quick to come and delicious. Overall, a brilliant experience! Definitely coming again.

I called in this pub to wait while a relative was having a procedure at the hospital across the road. It was very nice both inside and out and had a friendly atmosphere. The drinks were very affordable. I would like to go again in the future to try the food

Reasonably priced pub grub, 6 of us dined after hospital visits. Varied selection of meals to choose from, my own fault choosing rump steak as not my favourite cut of meat, it was ok but .. nobody had any reason to complain and drinks were decent price too. Extensive work has been carried out on beer garden since Covid. There are plenty of seating options and what appears to be an outdoor bottle bar near the entrance. Don’t forget to claim your refund on parking if that is your mode of transportation 👍

Great place, food is great and very good value for money. Service is always good and friendly staff. Tracey the waitress always makes a full of our kids when we come and makes us all feel very welcome 😁

Friendly pub restaurant atmosphere friendly. Staff are friendly and helpful. Feel comfortable as a woman going on my own. Mainly go during the daytime rather than the evening. Always feel welcome.

Took my friend for lunch, it was nice and hot presented lovely the staff very friendly. We'll be calling again. We enjoyed chicken and salad.

How can a pub belonging to a major chain run out of Sunday lunch 1 hr after opening.. absolutely disgusting...... as a replacement, I ordered the Chicken New Yorker, which consisted of 2bits of chicken breast about 2" square covered in a brown crusty covering which was supposed to be bbq sauce and cheese neither of which were distinguishable, not forgetting the tiny piece of what was supposed to be grilled back bacon but resembled a piece of cardboard........ Will vote with my feet and never return...

Great family friendly local pub with brilliant service. Always happy to heat my baby's food. The food is great for the price.
