First time i have ever ordered a carvery from here and won't order again. The roast potatoes tasted like they had been cooked in pepper and had raw bits inside. The food was bearly warm, the gravey was mainly in the foil it came in not the pot. I hadn't eaten all day so managed to eat some but ended up with a bad stomach through out the night, would not recommend this place to anyone

Ordered through just eat, 3 meals all looked like supermarket ready meals heated up and dumped in a plastic tub, absolutely garbage, all food inedible all tasted like vineger had been poured over all food to try and give it some flavour! Will not order again as trying to communicate with the resteraunt is a joke!!

First visit for two or three years and it has had its layout changed considerably. The layout is actually very strange and disjointed. There is also now a restaurant and a bar. I didn't try any food and can't comment on this.
Selection of beer is good but the atmosphere remains as per padt reputation and as it was on my last visit - groups of lads and men, in caps, basically dominating the place. Extremely rowdy.
All in all if you are on the rowdy side this is one for you (plays good music too). If you are out with the Mrs would definitely NOT recommend. Would also not recommend if you are looking for somewhere more relaxing or sophisticated.

Honestly the worst 'food' I've ever tried!
Roast Pork Chow Mein in a BBQ Sauce - £6.00 - the tinned spaghetti looking one just 🤢
Garlic Mushrooms - £3.24 - 5 microwaved mushrooms cold and rock hard
BBQ Chicken Wings £3.24 - undercooked and inedible
Big Jules Burger £6.24 - see photo...nuff said
Beef Curry Mild £5.50 - smells like minestrone soup and tastes worse with a pile of pepper to spice it up. Microwave rice stuck together
Mixed Kebab £5.88 - see photos, wouldnt even dare try it. How can you serve wedges of doner meat which is charcoal on the outside and squishy uncooked and cold on the inside?!?! Chicken is also burnt on the outside and raw inside. Disaster waiting to happen!

Only one star, because I have to. Ordered 2 Sunday dinners at 15.00, for delivery at between 18.00 and 18.30. Didn't arrive, so called them. Was told to call back, as it was noisy at the bar. Tried, not answer, numerous times, and left a message. The "food" eventually arrived at 20.40. Check out the "cauliflower cheese", absolutely foul. Being busy is not an excuse, if you can't fulfill the order, don't take it. Tried to refuse delivery, but was told that we couldn't.

This was the worst meal i have ever had, rang the pub to speak to management who to no surprise had popped out for 10 minutes. The beans was the most digusting thing, they reminded me from when i worked in a cafe and the beans had been sat on the warming trays for several hours. The sausage had been microwaved as the outsides was rock hard and they had burnt it in the microwave. I have never had food so bad in my life, will never order from this place again.
