Delightful, & good to be able to play music in the snug. The pub was very busy for a Monday night & we did have to wait rather a long time for the food (about 40 minutes) but it was fine when it arrived.

Roast dinners - meat was tough, had to asked for sharper knives. Vegs good, roast potatoes undercooked not crispy. Though Salmon hot and tasty. Generous portions. Understaffed. Waited 20 mins for menus and drinks after asking a member of staff. Although staff were very friendly and apologetic . Not shown to our seats - was shown where to go by a member of staff by pointing from behind the bar. Service slow. Was delivered 2 starters to share but only ordered one. Need more staff. Xmas decs up but lacked Christmas atmosphere.

We could not fault our food choices, two had the Newhaven fish and chips, one had the scampi and I had the seafood linguine. All piping hot; tasty; generous portions and looked good on the plates. Our only disappointment was that we were quite cold, there was an open fire which was lovely to see but even though we were only one table away we could not feel any benefit of it. However, this isn't the only eatery not putting their heating on for their customers as we've found it elsewhere but sadly we won't return until the weather warms up. We would have lingered over another drink but we were chilly so decided against. We do understand, heating is expensive but especially so in large open spaces.

The meat was undercooked and chewy The meat was under cooked and very chewy it was for a special occasion.
