We ate here for the 3rd time in a month this eve (17 June 2010). On our first visit the food was good and waitress polite, but their lack of staffing meant long waits and sloppy service. I felt it disappointing enough to give feedback and in response was given a voucher for another visit . (Reasons given were staff shortages and the owner was very apologetic). Our second visit was fine - food excellent. Third visit - a struggle to get menus, prompt service and the food was not worth the prices. (The 'crab mornay' was a crab sauce and nothing more. The strawberry cheescake was just a fool on top of some badly crushed biccies in a drinking glass).

Despite my comments and the pubs inconsistent food, we return there as the pub itself is in a beauitful position; has lovely rooms inside and a 1st floor garden overlooking the river. When the food is good it is delicious and huge portions. Also we can see they are a young'ish family who are really trying to do things the 'right' way - local drinks and 'proper' food. Let's hope things only get better.
TIP: The chips are the best anywhere!
