Great pub with lovely beer garden.
We didn't eat here. We had a walk to it from Little Lever (along the canal) and enjoyed a crisp beverage in the beer garden.
The staff were lovely, and seeing the food on the tables made me jealous. It certainly looked scrumptious.
I've eaten here some time ago, and it was good then.
Nice little place.
Our first visit today, 04/05/25!! We booked on Friday for 1pm. Our drinks were served promptly but that’s where the good stuff ended!!
Two starters ordered from 6 diners, not too much wrong there I guess but 45 after they had been finished, our mains hadn’t arrived!!
Finally, child’s pizza finally arrived first, burnt and they left the two sets of empty plates on the table from the starters!!
In the mean time, 4 other tables in our small dog friendly section were served!!
One of which didn’t get the extra portion of chips they ordered!!
Then a couple of other mains, two more from 5 burnt!! Oh and one with gravy that had a thick skin on it, clearly from sitting on the hot plate too long!!
We decided, quite easily that slagging off other members of staff in customer ear shot wasn’t the best for the bar staff to do, or that the till facing away from customers so that staff turned away to enter your orders probably wasn’t the best idea!!
Some of us were going to have dessert, but no, why bother when they couldn’t grill two burgers without one being charcoal or chips on other meals being, I’d say cold but more like almost frozen is more fitting!!
The only staff with anything about them were the waiting on staff, the bar staff were mediocre and the manager when spoken to about our disaster, I mean meal, was rude, unapologetic and insulting.
In our party of 6, two of us have worked in the trade and two more in customer service outside of hospitality.
If you want a lesson in how NOT to treat customers, or make food, go here.
If you have opened a new place and are training staff, go here, that way you can show them what a shambles it can be!!
It wasn’t even busy when we ordered, but the tables who arrived after us and were served before us, well their plates and glasses remained until just before we left!!
Thanks though for a birthday memory, and the swearing by other customers in a family friendly pub was a bonus!!
Shocking. Booked for 5.30pm - pub was 25% full. Got squeezed into a corner near the kitchen entrance and table next door had ti move. Asked for an apple juice but then got asked what flavour I wanted - apple I said, then cane back with a pint of cider even though I don't drink alcohol. I asked to move table but the curly haired kid said it was 'too much hassle to change tabs' we moved anyway and he said that I was being 'rude' and would have to leave. Been drinking/eating there for 20 years - would never eat there again.
Lovely pub with extensive menu choice. Lunch time deal excellent value and definitely doesn't compromise on on meals. All freshly cooked and very tasty. Good selection of both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks including non alcoholic gin and Guinness. Ample parking spaces. Friendly and welcoming staff.
Excellent rural location surrounded by plenty of Riverside walks. The pub has a good sized beer garden which is very well maintained and a great setting for a post walk meal and a pint.
Staff very friendly and helpful and the menu has a good choice of pub classic.
Highly recommend the Rag pudding. Delicious!
Very nicely presented inside.
A proper country pub vibe with a good selection of drinks and food available.
It is recommended to book a table, particularly if nice weather as it will get busy.
Definitely be back.
