On behalf of "Cripple table" we'd like to thank the staff for their excellent service from the bar to the table. Straight away they were at ease with an abundance of wheelchairs, walkers and wobblers. The food was excellent, the drinks certainly flowed and the general atmosphere for us was superb. Thank you to each and every staff member who put up with us for over 7 hours! 😆

We arrived on time , there was only 1 member of staff serving at the time ,we didn't have to wait to long to ask for drinks and pre booked table. Food was good ,atmosphere was pleasant due to kids gone back to school. So we could talk and no be interrupted by high pitch noise. Me and my wife were with my mother in law and enjoyed our time there . Our plates etc were taken away by a lovely mannered women ,who we interacted with ,she was very good but we didn't get her name but she was worth mentioning to thank her. All in all it was a pleasant experience thanks again James Taylor.

You know when you step into a pub for a pint and oddly it becomes something more, well this is a place where it happens. Ordered a pint, sat on a table that was reserved for 7pm and it’s only 3pm, thinking well for a pint this had to be popular. Then it happened and I instantly understood why, a sizzling steak was served a couple of tables down, the aroma, smell was so invited, I just had to have one. sizzling Rump 8oz steak, with fries, mushrooms and fried onions and yes I did, I went for the pepper corn sauce, but wait for it, all for less than a Tenner. Expecting something else, I was simply stunned, what a dish, medium rare done to perfection, now this Chef knows what they are doing. Full admiration, chunky chips to add to delight. As one can see demolished the lot with a solid pint of berry cider, could not have asked for anything more. And noticed every table around me was reserved at alternative times. They so know what they are doing, so simply so well done guys, don’t change as you have hit the mark. Loved it 😍 x
