We have passed this restaurant several times, it always looked full so we decided to book Sunday lunch.The staff were friendly and helpful, they took our order and the food was quickly served...Sadly the first thing we noticed was the waitress took our serving spoons out of her pocket, the roast meat was served, but there was a wait for the vegetables and gravy...Again sadly everything was cold, and the tin serving dishes were very cold apart from the broccoli..we think it was cauliflower cheese, not sure on that one, no cheese sauce.The Yorkshire spuds were lovely, and also the roast potatoes.I had the turkey, the others had the beef, mine was tender..but the beef was tough, even though it was cooked rare, the other tables on either side of us , were also making comments...We understand how difficult it is to make a perfect Sunday lunch, I don't think that we are " picky" we felt it just needed a bit of tweaking..hence our score..

What a totally disappointing experience we had, a girly catchup, ended not well..The place itself is lovely and set in very nice surroundings. We waited ages for our food order to be taken, when the starter did come out, it came without side plates, and we told the waiter we wanted to share. It was cleared, about 15mins later another waiter came over, to say what was not available, of what we had ordered half hour earlier, no new potatoes, no couscous, no seasonal vegetables. We live in the middle of the county which produces acres and acres of veg and potatoes..its only Friday evening, god only knows how they are going to cope for the rest of the weekend.!!so we made other choices, after another considerable time, our meals came out. With the potatoes, which they had non off !!!. Dry peices of chicken breast, no salsa sauce, not even a full chicken breast, and a salad which you could fit in the palm of your hand. Whilst the plates, was being cleared, yet another waiter, asked if everything was ok, we said not really, we reiterated how we felt, for the 3rd time now, "oh I apologise for that", but no sincerity in her words. And no, how can we make your experience any better, or can I get you puddings/coffee on the house. NOTHING....Another waiter came over, 10 mins after, can I get you a pudding, well actually we have not even been offered the dessert menu, so no, you carnt.We then asked for the bill, with no reductions for our terrible experience., we took the bill over to the bar, and asked to see some one in charge, yet another long wait at least 15 mins, for some one to speak with us, . Needless to say, we did pay a reduced amount, but even that was too much for what we actually received. The place is run so badly, by a bundle of children, no one in authority or in charge willing to take responsibility. Get someone in who actually knows what they are doing, and give the waiting staff, some TRAINING!!!!!We will not be returning, which is a shame, as it has so much potential and could be so different...AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

They do smaller lunch time meals which we love.There also a good choice of standard size meals. good prices and a wonderful setting. A decking provides outside eating or drinking with or without a river view. inside is cosy and all staff are helpful, the beer is kept well. meals are cooked fresh so not instant service. parking is along the road as there is no carpark. the river is very calming to sit and enjoy lunch and a chat. no music which suits us.Evening and sunday lunches you would be advised to book.Thank you for your great feedback just to point out we do have a car park to the side of the pub which holds 3 car parking spaces.

A restaurant within a 300 year old English country pub serving traditional English food as well as a number of international dishes. Seats around 30 - 40 people. They use locally sourced produce and it is prepared and cooked on the premises. Pet friendly.

Always get a walm welcome when going to the old black lion pub, great atmosphere with darts or a game of pool. Tried the food today and was beautifully cooked, definitely recommend anyone near the area to visit the pub and enjoy a few pints.

I visited this venue with family on the way home from a holiday. After searching trip advisor reviews I came across this place and thought we would give it a try, I have to say we was not disappointed. The duck burger was devine with freshly cooked products, other family members had the homemade haddock bites and chicken goujons and they reported these were also of a high standard. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for somewhere a little different.Very friendly customer service which made me feel like a valued customer, keep up the hardwork. Thank you for your comments its great to hear when people enjoy there time with us.

Husband and I called in for dinner tonight,at 745pm were told not able to be seated till 830pm in the restaurant .We decided to wait and we were not disappointed. I ordered the lamb shank and it was amazing so delicious, very generous and best I have had anywhere and we come from Australia.Husband had the smoked salmon and asparagus and pasta and he was grinning ear to ear regards it taste, combination of flavours and the freshness of the asparagus.We so wanted to have dessert but were unable because the dishes were so generous .The waiter staff were extremely friendly and the atmosphere was lovely would return if only to try the desserts we had no room for .Very good pricing as well

Called for Saturday lunch whilst visiting family in the area. Were not disappointed good selection of meals with good sized portions at reasonable prices. Good choice of sweets.Cosy bar area in which to enjoy drink before meal. Not on a major highway but well worth the detour. Caravan club certificated site available. If in the area again looking for food would most certainly return
