good range of real ales. This pub has a lot of hard surfaces inside and it
can perhaps sound a little loud but it has plenty of space and it can
accommodate plenty of people. There are generally at least 5 or 6 draft
ales on as well as a good range of bottled European lagers and the usual
British lagers on draft. Staff generally seem to know something about their
ales and the service is efficient and staff are very helpful.
While I have visited this pub quite often in the evenings for beer, I
visited it last Sunday for the first time to try the food. I had a
Minestrone soup for starters which had plenty of vegetables in it as well
as pieces of pasta. the soup was also pleasantly spicy and due to the
chunky nature of this soup it was almost a small meal in itself. It was
served with good quality crusty bread.
The main roast consisted of Roast beef, Yorkshire pud, roast potatoes,
mashed potatoes, mashed carrot and Swede, cauliflower and peas as well as
gravy.
This was a good big roast and on top of the soup it certainly filled me to
the brim!
The meat was good quality, tasty and thick. I would say it was a little
tough but taste made up for this. the roast potatoes were crispy and good
though to match the very best I would have liked them to be a little more
fluffy in the middle. \The mashed potatoes and mashed carrots and Swede
were both rich and smooth. the peas and cauliflower were not overcooked and
the Horseradish sauce was plentiful and reasonably hot.
I love stuffing whether you normally have it with beef or not and its a
shame this wasn't offered. the beef and roast potatoes were both good and
my slight criticism should not put you off the food. at £10.00 for a good
quality soup and a very acceptable plentiful roast this is a worthwhile
place to go for a good roast and I give it 7.5/10
