Ira BlakeWhat a gem! We loved everything about this place and the food was incredible. The chicken burger was outstanding and the best I think I have ever eaten. It was a masterclass in succulent, well-seasoned and fresh food. The hamburger my husband ordered was also exceptional. The views across the boatyard were lovely, the staff polite and service efficient. Lots of parking out front too. We came here in passing, but will be making more visits in 2025.
BexGreat food and service! This was a spontaneous trip after a day out together and we saw this on the way to the shops and decided to turnaround and stop by. The staff were lovely, the food was gorgeous and we are glad we came for lunch. We went on a Wednesday lunch and it was very quiet.
Sophie HolbrookVisited Friday evening in a party of 9 for evening meal (pre booked and pre ordered food). Setting of pub is beautiful. Having pre ordered main meal, the food was brought out hot and ready, however we had only been seated max 5 mins before it was on the table. Food was delicious however menu would benefit from more description. For example, the 'pork belly' was a pork loin and the southern fried chicken burger was rather spicy. For desserts, information on options that were gluten free were conflicting. The menu online said one thing, the staff were saying another, and the physical menu provided said something else. Did not fulfil us with confidence. Desserts also could do with further description on the menu. The 'Eton mess' was cream with a dusting of meringue, 4 berries and some fruit compote. A slight difference to what was expected. We were also assured that the manager would make herself known to the table due to dietary needs- however this did not happen. When making the reservation it was not made clear that a band was playing in the evening. Although this not being a problem as they were not due to start until 10pm. However, the sound check was done around 8:30pm and they started well before 10pm. The pub was heavily packed which meant that we could not access the toilet the other side of the bar easily (member of the party is pregnant). When wanting to pay the bill, it took over 20 minutes for this to be given and then a further 20+ minutes for the card machine to arrive. Additionally, on leaving, we had to navigate through the heavily packed crowd to exit. Definitely in need of some improvements.
Neal WoodI attend this venue regularly on Friday evenings when live bands play. The service is fine though I've never eaten here. The beer is VERY expensive compared to other nearby pubs and other venues with no reason. The bands play at super loud volume to the point of distortion and incoherent speech which is very uncomfortable and yet nothing is done about it. It's a shame as the bands are good and we'd love to enjoy them better.
