We visited the pub as part of a group in the evening and upon entering felt incredibly unwelcome. As someone who works in hospitality myself I can understand the frustration when a large group walks in on a relatively quiet night. However, one team member behind the bar very loudly voiced their frustrations to their colleagues who were clocked out drinking at the bar. This felt unprofessional and made it so I could immediately tell we weren’t wanted. Some of the group ordered food which appeared quickly in the typical “spoons” fashion. Admittedly one or two of the group weren’t on their best behaviour and, without evidence the staff falsely accused one of the group of “throwing himself down the stairs” when nothing of the sort actually occurred. At this point they decided to cut off the table. Instead of seeking out a lead guest in the group they stood in front of the table and shouted it as if telling off children. This was demeaning and rude and the team member didn’t handle that situation correctly. The accused guest at the table proceeded out the manager to resolve this, who admitted that they had a problem with the “whole table”. To group all guests together when there’s such a large group felt like a move to just get us to leave. Clearly some conflict resolution staff training required at this pub. Will not be returning. 1-star.

I ordered a baked potato with roasted veg! Instead I got a baked potato with spicy peppers! I don't do spicy foods it plays havoc with my mouth and digestion! Since when are peppers classed as vegetables they are a fruit! Hay wetherspoons that's classed as false advert! You need to alter your menus or put proper vegetables with it and deliver what you advertised! Fat chance there then! Plus it doesn't mention spice! ☹️ One of the few foods I can eat turned into a nightmare.... what happened to tuna mayo anyway.... very disappointed😞

Food is good value but not great. This is typical of modern British pub food fayre these days. Not expensive and good value but don't expect a lot. The breakfasts are much better value to be fair and fairly good for the money but dinner is functional only.
