Very poor, staff not at all friendly. There was a broken glass in the beer garden, I notified a member of staff, who just walked off. It was still there 6 days later!! Loud music blaring in the garden even when it was raining. Not sure how the neighbours stand it.

Average food

We had two meals here and enjoyed them both. Great vegetarian and vegan options and a good choice of beers. In the centre of Burley and easy to park too.
September 2023
We booked for Sunday Dinner best to book as they get really busy. Food & service good
August 2023
Pleasant atmosphere, staff friendly, average food
May 2023
Very friendly staff but maybe a little under staffed on our visit. Seemed to have run out of some items on the menu and some of the beers on tap. Still what we had was good enough.

Nice pub but unable to book successfully for a meal. It appears the chef decides how many people are allowed to eat rather than the manager. Tried to book and the manager said we could be accommodated only to be told that the ‘chef said no’. Didn’t bother going back after that! Clearly happier with empty seats than being busy!

We would have loved to have eaten here but the website was rather misleading and that it said we could turn up without booking and eat in the beer garden. Unfortunately when we arrived, we were told that food was only being served inside and that all tables had to be booked. We got a lovely meal at the pub across the road instead.

We were disappointed with the quality of the food - they also had a limited menu as some of the kitchen equipment was out of action. But the staff were friendly and attentive.

What a super pub, the staff were amazing and helpful, the food I had which was a "special" was delicious (Peri peri chicken 2 ways!), unfortunately my partners beef and ale pie was all pastry (much tooooo thick)! Ale's and wine super, altogether a super evening. As I said staff were super and made our evening.

A very friendly, welcoming pub. Nicely furnished, friendly staff. Food was nicely presented, of good quality at a great price. Special offers on certain days. Eg. Pie Wednesday's. Would highly recommend. Dogs welcome.

Excellent meal, but out of some parts of our meals and did tell us when ordering, felt sorry for them seemed very short staffed but they done well. The property overall needs refurbishment

Very nice pub. Good for kids. Great food
April 2018
This was poor - now a Chef and Brewer and not well run (and clearly some dishes just heatde up from frozen) . A very long wait as the owers had underestimated demand for half term lunch - did provide a free round of drinks when we complained though
