Food was beautiful, although a little pricey.Sat us at a table which right by a door that they needed to keep getting into which was slightly annoying because I had to keep getting up!Meat was perfect on my mixed grill, misses wasn't to impressed with having to cook her own on a hot plate but her own fault for not reading the menu properly...Staff were very polite and welcoming! Would recommend!

If you like steak/ribs/burgers this is the place to go. Excellent selection of meat and everything we had was really tender and delicious. Steaks are delivered on a hot stone and you finish cooking it at the table exactly how you like to eat it. Really friendly staff who'll sing happy birthday to you if you're celebrating and you get to wear a Stetson and they'll take a picture for you. Large portions and a few challenges to try which are free if you complete them but good luck with that.. Tables outside if you prefer al fresco eating.Large free car park at the rear. Disabled access. I would advise booking especially at peak times.

The pub was really busy on the night we visited. The smoke drifted from the kitchen into the bar area from where the steaks were being cooked. The steak was excellent, tender & tasty. Puddings were well portioned. The staff were excellent, engaging & helpful. There are also food challenges, which you have to give prior notice to have one.The pub bedrooms were clean but not very soundproof. There is a galvanised stairway up to the rooms and a couple of steps to negotiate in the hallway. If you have any mobility problems, it may be an issue?

Won’t be going back!!Decided to stop overnight and was looking forward to something to eat after nearly driving 500 miles!Got checked in at the bar and was shown to our rooms upstairs, on entry to the rooms we were told not sure which room it is but you haven’t got a toilet (I booked both rooms with private bathroom) I looked puzzled and was told you would have to use the toilet at the end of the hallway!I rushed into my room hoping it was my mates room but we both had a toilet!We then decided to try the food in the restaurant as it smelt really good, no room in restaurant so back to the bar.No room in the bar as a food challenge was about to start so ordered our food and told them we was outside.After an hour of waiting the food finally arrived, was told we would get you some cutlery It never arrived!We couldn’t wait any longer so stated to eat some luke warm fries, I popped my head into the restaurant but it was heaving so headed back to the food.Took a bite out of my chargrilled chicken burger and nearly broke a tooth, it was burnt black underneath.Nipped back into the bar to report the issue and was told by the bar staff ‘you will have to wait a while’Spoke to the bar staff after waiting a while and was told manager would come out.Finally the manager come outside and agreed she would reimburse me for the meal.Waited 30 mins for her to return but no sign of her! Decided to call it a night and was hoping to see someone in morning but no one to be seenSo still no refund received and would not recommend at all.Also didn’t sleep all night as windows were thin and loads of traffic noise.Over a week now and still no reply!!Still no reply a month later 😢 💤

We'd booked a nights accommodation as it was a brief chance to meet up with family visiting from Canada. We decided to eat there as my Canuck nephew was keen on trying a steak in the UK. …

Absolutely lovely staff. Great food. Even the customers are welcoming that it felt like a holiday.I heard it was expensive but the prices are very reasonable. It's easily an average restaurant price, but the steaks are way more high-end, making it a fantastic high-end restaurant without the cost.Couple that with a beer garden and childrens playground which you just can't get anymore and it just takes me back 25 years to when pubs were much more family based.100 percent will be back

If you want a decent steak or burger, then this... Cook your own steak how you like it on a hot stone. Any size from 8oz up to all the 200oz. The service is great as well. There were 10 of us and these guys did not miss a thing. If you get the chance to go here book a table and wear loose pants. 5⭐️ all the way.

Been quite a few times as local.No issue with food especially desserts ( the cheesecakes) always a favourite.Just a couple of points to make it 5 stars.The venue works on table service, please come around to the table more than once to offer drinks,rather than a guest trying to get someone's attention.Always enough staff on to do this.Some of the younger staff members need more knowledge of the menu.Dessert board has to be asked for very rare the front of house team offer it once plates have been cleared.Could we have some steak options where we don't have to cook it ourselves?
