"As a family we attended the horn and trumpets on the sad occasion of funeral wake.

The landlord Dan and his team of staff really looked after everyone.

The buffet was incredible, the staff courteous and attentive, the atmosphere very welcoming.
Since then we have revisited several times and been impressed on all occasions.
A great menu, good beer selection, great value for money and even dog friendly.

Well done to all involved… well will be sure to return again very soon."

We stopped using this pub for meals because service was so slow. We decided to give it another try as it has been re-furnished and, presumably, under new management. When we arrived at our booked time there was only member of staff and we had to find our own table. Our meal has just arrived, leaving us just 70 minutes to “enjoy” our meal before our time slot ends. I will not be giving this establishment another chance. #hornandtrumpet
Further to my previous post the “delicious pastry filled with chunks of steak and a rich gravy” turned out to be a gravy filled tough pastry case filled with gravy, not a single chunk of meat to be found anywhere.
Of the other meals the chicken one was dry and the cheese was hard, the baked potato was also dry and hard around the edges. The fourth meal was acceptable.
While we were leaving we passed three other people complaining about their orders and wanting refunds!"

"Made a reservation for a table for 4, for today.
Seemed to be only 1 member of bar staff, so after waiting 5mins to be seated, 2 of us with mobility issues had to go sit down, and we discovered our reserved table ourselves.
Ordered at bar, rather than via QR code.
Waited 45mins for food to arrive, despite pub being maybe 1/3 full at most.
Steak and ale pie contained 0 meat by 1/2 way through eating. Complained to bar staff and respk se was just "what would you like me to do about it?" No attitude, but also no apology or suggestions for a solution. Found just 1 solitary, small chunk of meat after scooping out all the insides.
Jacket potato with cheese and beans was extremely dry and had been "nuked" for too long in the microwave (was expecting a microwaved potato rather than oven cooked, but wasn't expecting it to have been reheated / toppings to have been microwaved so that it just looked an unappealing mix that was crispy at the edges)
Hunters chicken was very dry (but apparently we were lucky that it wasnt worse, as another customer complained about hers being burned + the bacon literally being blackened) and onion rings were forgotten until staff were informed, and then 2 overly-cooked onions rings were brought to us.
Gammon was nice.
We were going to have dessert, to try to save a very disappointing meal that was intended as a celebration, but when we went to the bar to order, there were no staff there available and we were further deterred by several other customers all waiting to complain about bad quality meals they'd been served, plus the fact that the customers seated at the table next to us had been waiting for their desserts since before our mains were brought out.
Whilst we had been waiting for our mains, we saw an online post (Facebook? Or pub's own website? I'm not sure as it wasn't me who found it) from yesterday, saying there were problems with the grill/s, but whether the problems had already been solved or not, we weren't informed of any delays when ordering our food."
