They asked us to find our own seating and we had to put tables together. Then we asked for water and they gave my wife a pitcher or water and some glasses and we had to pour our own water. None of this seemed very English to me. Lame.

I love a good Toby Carvery as much as any other foodie, and this one is no different. Rustic, old…read morefashioned layout and furnishings, a good strong bar and dimmed lights make it the perfect atmosphere for conversation. The drinks are average prices for the north, but who goes here for the drinks? It's all about the food. There is a wide range of food available but the main attraction is the Carvery. Plentiful meat and Yorkshire puddings greet you at the counter, and a variety of vegetables at the other end. The only negative aspect of the food is that it can be dry due to the warming lamps above the food. The staff are generally attentive, especially Scott and John the cooks, but waiting staff can be a little distant - we met our supposed server Mel as we were leaving. Great place, great food, great chain of restaurants.

Obviously I can understand staff being stressed but I don't think it's fair for it to be taken out on the customers. Still love the place though and the rest of the staff, especially the younger ones, are kind and accommodating.

Claims to be dog friendly, but isn't really…read more We booked in advance and brought a puppy with us. Quickly found that you get moved to a separate area when you have a pet. Not a problem, except that area doesn't get table service. Having to join a queue (which started outside the building) to order when you've booked ahead is very poor. Ordered roast dinners two weeks in a row, and both weeks ended up with no stuffing. We raised it the second time and ended up being brought out two cocktail sausages (?) because they ran out. So, they just thought they'd skip sending out what we paid for and see if we noticed? Although there was no table service in our section, someone was available very quickly to tell us to get our puppy down when he dared to sit up on the bench with me. In a dog friendly pub... in the dog friendly section!? The food honestly wasn't bad, but the rest of the experience was poor. Majority of staff seemed very junior, and there weren't enough of them on shift. The car park is also a mess, with cars regularly parking in the middle, blocking you in - even in spite of the subtle threats of a fine if you don't book your plate at the bar. You'd be better off at a 'non dog friendly' pub and make do with sitting outside, honestly.

There is always a warm and cheerful welcome and the staff never fail to go that extra mile to make sure we are satisfied. In particular we are impressed by the gluten free options which, unlike many pubs, isn't just about serving up a couple of items from the main menu with stuff removed. They even do gluten free pastry. They do a carvery which puts the big chains to shame and a menu worthy of much more expensive restaurants.

The pub was…read morerecommended on their the Scawby Hall website, so we thought we would give it a go as we didn't know the area very well. We were relieved to discover that it was a great find! They have a bar area at the front and restaurant at the rear, which is where we sat for lunch. It was really busy for a weekday lunchtime, which we took as a great sign. The staff were all really helpful and accommodating. It is table service, so they come to the table to take your food and drinks order. My mum ordered the scampi and chips and I had salmon filet with new potatoes. The menu is large, with pub classics as well as a few fish dishes and specials. I was really impressed. The prices were great as well. My mum loved her scampi and gave it 5/5! I really enjoyed my salmon, the seasoned crust on the top was tasty, but it was a tiny bit over cooked/dry for me. It still tasted great, but I'd have taken it out the oven a bit sooner! I was just happy to have been a healthier option, which isn't always the case with local pubs. They have lots of pies on the menu, so I definitely would like to go back and try those.
