My girlfriend and I were looking for a pleasant country pub with a friendly atmosphere and freshly prepared food for a bank holiday Monday meal. We found a nicely set out, contemporary decor pub/restaurant down the road. However these are all the only good points. The starter (prawn+apple cocktail)took nearly an hor to come out and I had to chase it up at the bar. Mains weren't much better. Chips that had been reheated numerous times and a steak and ale pie sacrificed in the microwave, not to mention we saw the bar staff poking a customers jacket potato with their fingers in the kitchen, after he sent it back for being cold. Not impressed at all, won't be going back.
