Stopped here on our way to the Lakes. It turned into the best Sunday lunch we have ever had. The service was very friendly and we did not have to wait too long for our food. Could not believe the quality and quantity for less than £15 each. We are even planning a return to the area just for the lunch. Excellent.

A great little pub stop on our way to Preston for the game. Excellent food that was enjoyed by everyone. Also a great selection of drinks and spirits on offer.

We were made to feel really welcome even though we’d not been in years and are not local to the area. The menu was extensive with vegan and dairy free options. Great attention to detail regarding allergens with an extensive list on the website. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. We ended up staying for 3 hours we felt so comfortable and welcome. I had dairy and egg free steak pie and it was amazing.

Decent pub, quick and friendly service. A full Sunday roast. Beef was fine, mash was a little lumpy but tasty, roast veg was a little overdone.
But on the whole, a good experience.

Here used to be our favorite restaurant, things changed after this Thursday dinner. The food was not lots choices since the menu changed but it still ok. Loaded fries and Pork sausage tastes good. There was a cockroach came to my daughter’s jacket on sofa and I was very shocked. I was trying get help from the waiter the bar was busy so my husband took it away and solved it. I was very uncomfortable after saw it and took my daughter left. Then my husband told manager there was a cockroach, the sanitary conditions are worried makes me very upset and we decided to leave. The manager seems can’t believe what my husband said and just said “ok” then finished this conversation. We feel very frustrated about his attitude and what we experienced. I think it’s time to say bye to this restaurant. 2 stars for the memories of this place.
Just to clarify to your reply, the third picture is the meal we ordered on last week, and the rest two picture form 2022 and 2023 are from previous visits, which to prove I used to eating here. No sure how Google review manage the order of the images anyway that’s not the point of this review.
