Went in for breakfast with our dog. It was such a great experience. We were looked after by Chloe and Heather. They were very informative about what to do as visiting the area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Should've known it wouldnt be great when at 3.30pm i was able to book a Sunday carvery for the same day.... On getting to our table, the floor was full of food and the table was sticky. We quickly ordered our carveries (carverys?) And was told that someone would come and get us when it was ready (which ive never known to happen at a carvery before) although the carvery deck queue was empty, so not sure of the reasoning. The restaurant was awash with tables of hungry looking people waiting to be told it was their turn. After enquiring about the length of wait, we did go to the carvery. The service at the deck was friendly and the meat looked great with good portions. The Yorkshire puddings were definitely of the frozen variety and not homemade. The veggies must have also been frozen and looked boiled to death. Gravy was watery, and i knew this before i got to it because kids made jokes about it...getting back to my sticky table, I ate my meal, but apart from the meat, it was tasteless, unless you count the salty potatoes. We hoped that dessert would be better, but could only sample the ice cream or brownie because they seemed to be out of everything else. I went to the toilet before leaving and discovered that the sticky table was not a one off...for some reason every surface I touched in the building had the same weird sticky residue. All the doorways/ support rails and chairs too. Extremely disappointed and wont be back. In all honesty, the only saving grace for the whole place is the lovely kid-friendly garden... and two members of staff who's names I didn't get.

My Son's favourite place for his Birthday dinner (or any dinner.) The team are always fantastic, but for his Birthday especially, nothing is too much, it genuinely is a case of above and beyond. We always love the food we have, and a great time is had by us all.

We had the carvery,which was cooked lovely and is great you can help yourself to potatoes and veg and stuffing,very good value food but I thought the drinks were expensive and would be better if offered refill drinks, will definitely return as the breakfast is very nice and excellent value for money

Great visit, the fish and chips was excellent and as good as any chippy. I will try pizza next time.

I forgot about this little gem of a pub until recently. Had a wonderful, generous carvery. Selection of meats, big choice of veg and a delicious gravy.\\nThe staff couldn?t be anymore helpful if they tried, especially the lady who greeted us at the door (manager?) Everyone was really friendly and while very busy, nothing was too much trouble.\\nWhen booking I requested our table wasn?t too close to others as husband is immune compromised. They put us on a table in a corner and said they wouldn?t send any other customers near us and kept to it. We was able to completely relax.\\nWe left happy and full.\\nWell done everyone, we?ll be returning soon ?

Visited here for lunch on 12th July 23. We were shown to a table no.17 by the window looking out on overgrown brambles and weeds. The chairs were crumby, dusty backed and generally dirty. The menus on the the table were sticky and unwiped. Once our food came worse was to come. We wanted salt to season our meal. I found the pot on our table damp and unable to pour, I went round to 3 other empty tables retrieved their salt pots, only to find they too were damp and clogged. I attracted the attention of a server. I explained the state of the salts. She said and i quote ... I've not been in since Sunday. Then clearly disinterested got another from another table, paying little or no attention handed it to me and it was totally empty. I then opened the salt pots to possibly decant it directly. It was disgusting and rusty. Clearly they'd not been checked in some time for the rust to develop. The salt was and orange, rusty colour. We were sat near a wall mounted tv, which needed a good clean as it had drink spilt over it and left to collect dust. The general FOH area needs a good clean and scrub. Attention to detail is missing and overall cleanliness is lacking. We didn't visit the toilets or outside areas but based on the FOH area, I wouldn't care to. I rarely comment on TA, but sadly had to on this occasion. This place could be such better with a bit of care and attention. I may return again in time to see if anything has improved but have no plans to based on my recent visit.

I?ve been to this place countless times since i was a kid, as an adult now its still my favourite place to eat and drink. The food is outstanding and very reasonably priced, the interior is spacious with a cozy atmosphere and the staff are incredibly lovely. I cannot fault this place, its amazing!

Excellent carvery and a great choice for a birthday meal - I was even given a gold candle on my chocolate brownie while the waitresses sang Happy Birthday!

Went for a birthday meal with family. Choice of food was really good as the age range was from 9 years old to 71 years old and everyone had what they wanted from pizza to full roast. The meals were hot and co coordinated so they arrived together. The staff were helpful and polite with good service. Thank you all the staff for singing Happy Birthday at the end .

Came from Essex to visit my brother here in Lee- on- the Solent. Had a lovely dinner that we ordered from Sammy at the Bar, who was very helpful. Edith and Lilly were our servers at our table, they were just brilliant, Thank You girls, especially that we were all Specsavers friends!! Ha Ha! Manager Vicky remembered us from earlier in the day when we had a few drinks! Our food was as amazing too! Loved it! Thank You everyone! Xx
