Went in on a Sunday evening with some trepidation after reading mixed reviews. However was pleasantly surprised. Food was tasty and good. Two pizzas (margherita and quatre stagioni) and a chicken Sunday roast dinner. Pizza bases were good, cooked but not burned and a good thickness. Toppings were tasty as was sauce and cheese (though could have gone a little closer to edge). Recepient of roast chicken said it was good, with nicely some meat. A good selection of veg (carrot, beans, broccoli), standard size yorkshire pud, roast tatties and gravy. Non alcholic all round, but Thatchers 0% was a highlight. Homemade chilli oil on the tables was a nice touch and very tasty. (be warned it packs a punch, then again I'm a lightweight). Pub garden looks nice worth fairy lights. I'd go again. Points fot improvement: kids menu. Ladies toilet needs a better lock (too high for children or shorter people, see pics) that can be opened from outside in an emergency. Better /more hygienic hand drying options needed. Would be nice to have coke zero (bottled or on tap) and some no alcohol spirits. Gravy in a boat (as some of us are fussy where it goes). And finally MORE STAFF, the poor barman was run off his feet taking food orders, serving meals, doing drinks, bussing tables and taking payments. He deserves a pay rise!

Great food and location, but the young serving staff are miserable. Why?
