Nice atmosphere, fast service. I ordered Scotch Steak, found it very fatty and grisly, and chewy, considering price expected better cut of meat. I ordered well done, which is was def in appearance....charcoal on the outside but still bloody in parts in the middle. Hubby ordered the ribs and enjoyed them. Another on our table had the fish and chips and said the fish was very dry and overcooked. They looked like fish you buy in the freezer at the supermarket. Def not fresh fish.
Garlic bread, was full of flavour, but could have been toasted just a little longer to give it crunch.
Overall, not the worse meal I have ever had. Possibly the quick service time meant the food cooking was rushed. Hence the steak being burnt on out side and still bloody, the fish dried out and the garlic bread being half cooked.
Revisited New Years eve and decided to give the Beer Battered Fish a try for myself. It was horrible. No flavour, was like eating a piece of cardboard.(not sure how anyone can stuff up a simple meal) would not recommend at all, left 2nd piece untouched and chips were overcooked and dry. Hubby had the Buttered Chicken and said it was absolutely delicious.
Again cheesy garlic bread could have been cooked more but still tasted good despite.
Will go back for a third time eventually and try one last time with a different menu option. Disappointed as Steak and Fish and chips are my 2 favourite meals, and probably the most bought of any pub meals.
As for the place itself. Staff are very friendly, it has a lovely atmosphere. Huge games room with free soft drink and coffee for gaming patrons.
Overall a good place, despite food disappointment.
