Went in last night. Had matt serve us. Cheerful guy. Lol, he knew my name. Foods always good for the price there. We go alot . Sizzler is always a good option. I've had a stomach op meaning I can't eat much. They don't question me having a kids meal. It's a family place but sooooooo many kids running ragged. Shame. Still, nice few hours and the quiz Is great fun

This place for many years was always a great little goto place with friends or family as always something for everyone and nothing for anyone to be upset about. In recent months it has become very hit and miss but yesterday properly took the biscuit. The reason that this rating is as high as 2 stars is because the guy that was out front greeted everyone that arrived and was very pleasant. You can see from my pictures that maybe half the mixed grill was partially grilled or not at all and the Chicken and Sausages especially tasted dreadful. The Steak ironically was over cooked!! The butter served with the Bread and Butter was disgusting and tasted more like margarine. I asked what it was and the picture I was shown was a brown box that had written on it "Greene King Salted Butter". The server was informed of the above and took one sausage back to spend an extra 5 minutes on the radiator but at the end of the meal when pretty much everything was left just apologised. Spending £44.40 and yet again not receiving an acceptable standard doesnt seem to bother them as it has become normal for them. This is why so many places are closing because customers are sick and tired of being fed like dogs and disrespected. This place needs a strong management team and a good area manager that is going to take this once great place back to how it was. Just because a place is sometimes busy doesn't make it good. I never saw it so quiet yesterday with just 3 other tables occupied. The kitchen staff were all absolutely filthy and if I had seen the state of them before ordering I would have left. Those basic standards not being met and having no self respect has a knock on effect. It was like a classroom with no teacher. On a positive note, the toilets were clean.

Visited our local Hungry Horse last night and had a fantastic experience. The staff were friendly and welcoming from the moment we walked in. The menu had a wide variety of options – from pub classics to more adventurous dishes – and everything was very reasonably priced.

What stood out the most was the relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can enjoy a casual meal without breaking the bank. Will definitely be coming back soon!

Nathan was superb with all of our service - showed us to our table, took our orders, served our food, checked if we’re okay, took our plates, brought our drinks to the table and also brought us our desserts. Very friendly bar staff, nice atmosphere and child & pet friendly. Nice selection of food in the menu, lots of variety. Really nice desserts! Perfect for any occasion!

Great pub, food is delicious, loads of seating indoors and out. Really nice play area with wood chip floor for a soft landing. Really popular with the kids and very family friendly. Good value. Loads of parking available and definitely somewhere I will return. Bus stop right outside.

Had the most fantastic birthday meal with my family and friends. A warm friendly welcome followed by very flavoursome food. We were looked after by Matt who also helped with the arrival of a surprise birthday cake. We all had a great time and will without a doubt be repeat customers. Thanks Matt for making our evening an unforgettable experience

Went out as a family of 4 for a birthday meal, the food was lovely, lots of choices, very tasty and hot. The service was excellent, we were greeted by Matt who made us feel very welcomed and nothing was to much trouble for him. We will definitely be back.
