The Good Companions

Came for Sunday dinner and watched a rugby game. It is so nice to be at this pub seeing it return to being a friendly, well run family friendly local. The landlord and landlady are watching everything and going above and beyond for their customers. The staff are well trained, smart and attentive. Well done all. See you when you re-open.

First visit after the renovation. The pub looks very nice inside as does the outside seating area. The two waitresses who served us were very friendly. Unfortunately unable to give 5 stars though which is a shame as the food was very nice with a good choice on the menu. Unfortunately the speed of the food coming out was really slow. It was a Tuesday and there were only a few other people eating but our main meals took quite a long time. We then we had to ask twice where the desserts were after waiting nearly 25 minutes and there was no one else waiting for food by then. All of this wouldn't have been a problem on a weekend but we didn't expect to wait so long on a weekday. We will return as the staff are friendly, it's a nice pub with reasonable prices but I would hope the next time the food comes out quicker.

What a great difference. Popped in yesterday and literally like chalk and cheese from before. Sean and Leanne have turned it round. Great staff, food amd the decor inside and out is fab. So much better. A propervlocal friendly pub now without the trouble. Definitely will be comong more. Both owners so friendly. Had a lovely chat with them and they made us feel so welcome. Well done guys!

A Good companion, I’ll tell ya what they weren’t lying. What a good companion they have been to me in my troubled time of need. The times in which I lusted for some beverages and laughs with the boys corrrrr blimey. Also, may I add… May I please? Alright cheers Thanks mush Safe Pints pints pints! Lads lads lads? Correct-amundo! These bevskis have done the blinking job! I’m feeling all types of wobbly 😆 don’t tell the Mrs! hehehe, also did I mention I’m tradey? They told me rock n roll was dead. They lied. Rock and roll and drink and rock and roll again is what I flipping say! Crickey it was a crazy time at the goodies with family and friends! My soul was pulsating through my body like a vain after no but November! Being the friends and family down for sure (whip, DAB and finally a naenae) - The roomates

Visited here for dinner for the first time since it has reopened after refurbishment and under new management. Nicely decorated and the place is spotless. The only irritation was a few little fruit flies flying around which is annoying when drinking wine as they seem to be very attracted to it. Also the chairs in the dining area are not comfortable to sit on. Next time I'll try the banquettes. The atmosphere in the pub was quiet overall, even though football was on. It was not loud or raucous. In the dining section it was dead, as we were the only two diners. There had been another couple but they departed shortly after our arrival. Our burgers were good, onion rings were very good and battered, not breaded. Unfortunately I had to send my fries back as they were not hot. The replacement was freshly cooked and piping hot. The fries are served already salted, quite heavily so. Although I didn't mind the fries coming already salted, this may not be to other diners liking and is something to be aware of. A nice touch was that we ordered with the waitress at the table, rather than going to the bar. The waitress was very efficient, friendly and polite. Value wise, tonight was 2 for 1 on burgers so it was a very good deal.
