The last time we were here was about 2 years ago, and our experience was memorable for all the wrong reasons....CAN'T use a card, CAN'T sit there, CAN'T order that.....etc
But after 2 years we thought we'd give it a go for Sunday lunch. It was thankfully far more welcoming. The Landlord was holding court with the regulars, but managed to be quite friendly and attentive.
The decor is lovely, very smart, clean and cosy, complete with roaring log fire. Points for that.
The menu was huge with tons of choice, and extremely reasonable, mains for £5 and £6. We ordered the steak & kidney pie with veg, and it was with us in no time. The pie was piping hot, but the veg less so. It was perfectly acceptable fare, if a bit school dinnery, but the price reflected that. This meal wouldn't be a big 'treat meal' out, but would certainly do on the days you don't want to cook.
Being a Smiths pub, the beer brands were a little arcane, but the bitter was ok.....not many in for a Sunday lunchtime either, so a bit of atmosphere was lost. You could do alot worse than this, particularly if you're a family on a budget.
