   Carvery was very bland , very stingy on meat was more like scraps and ends . Beef was really over cooked and dry . The potatoes were hardly roasts , they were quite undercooked and the broccoli was practically hard. For the price of the carvery and what you get is really isn’t very good . I have had better carvery’s else where unfortunately , which is really disappointing as we was looking forward to coming since it had changed hands . How the carvery was presented wasn’t very appetising , vegetable supply was low , meat was the last scraps . For 1pm I thought that was quite bad . Drinks were extortionate for what they were , the lemonade wasn’t gassed and was flat , the woo woo didn’t even taste like it should . It was just full of cranberry juice and for 2 for £11 it wasn’t what I expected . Bar staff clearly haven’t been shown how to make cocktails before. Unfortunately I won’t be a returning customer which is a real shame .

   Staff were fab, food not so fab. Some veg couldnt cut with a knife (cauliflower and parsnips), Parsnips looked good, just not cooked. Overall the place looked clean and tidy and I would give it another try, perhaps not on a Sunday.

   Nice meal when it finally came, was not busy however, took 2 hours for dinner and pudding with the waiting time. Staff put fingers on spoon bowl and seemed very uninterested in their customers.

   On my arrival a choice of sitting areas - choose the restaurant area as we required Carvery - lovely relaxed atmosphere .... quick service (perfectly chilled wine) - meat and vegetables fresh, Yorkshire Puddings nice also - all topped by hot, tasty gravey. Value for money and close to home - plenty of parking - what more can I say .....

   The carvery was good, vegetables well cooked and hot and lots of choice. There was the full menu as well which offered a good variety. Staff were attentive and helpful. There weren’t many customers on the Thursday lunch time that we visited so it was quiet.

   Friendly staff, good service, but the layout for the carvery was awful, especially in todays climate. We were sat at a table with the queue for food right against the table. We were trying to eat with people leaning on the table , breathing all over us. It was very uncomfortable. If it wasn’t for this, I’m sure we would have enjoyed the experience.

    The roast beef was dry, tasteless and grossly overcooked. Unbelievably the gravy was vegetarian - with MEAT! There was no other choice for gravy! Apart from the roast potatoes, the vegetables were bland.

    I really enjoyed the experience. The only improvements I'd recommend is opening the doors to the public from 11:45 if the first table can be booked for 12:00. Also, the high chairs are wooden which is not comfortable and more of a hazard to infants. However, I do appreciate these are convenient for space saving. The food was really good, the staff were friendly and happy. I like the new decor. Thank you for a fantastic lunch

    No steak, chicken, bacon, fish on a Sunday at 1300!. Sausage and mash: normal cheap sausages instead of Cumberland, lumpy mash and no onions.

    There is little spacing between tables and the first table we were offered was right in the middle and was the main walk through to get to the carvery. Luckily when we went it wasn’t too busy so we could move to a side table, other than that food and service was good.

    Food portions very small for the price. Clean area, toilets very cold, had to wait a while to be seated despite there being only a few people in the pub and being first in the queue. OK overall though. We would probably go again.

    The only complaint we had was that the tables where too close to each other and was a bit cramped! Oh and also noticed that couldn’t book another table for the same time for friends but there was about 4 tables empty. Food was ok n was a nice atmosphere though. Service was nice n friendly 👍

    Unfortunately after booking a table, when we arrived there was not one available (seems as though the process of pre booking at a set time does not work). Don't get me wrong, the venue itself looks good and the food maybe good, we just did not get a chance of experiencing it which made for a frustrating night. They really need to make sure that procedures are in place with bookings or they will lose potential customers.

    Waited over an hour on curry night, even though it wasn't overly busy No yourkshire puds on the carvery. Chips were still hard inside. Waited ages for acknowledgement to be seated. Food wasn't all that great to be honest. Wouldn't return again.

    The carvery layout was all wrong, right next to the kitchen doors so waitresses was struggling to get through. Table wasn't wiped down on arrival. Booked table for 2.15pm to be told they needed our table at 3.00pm . The veggies on the carvery was awful.

    First time we have had a meal here as there are plenty of local options for dining. We had our son's family with us so my wife & I ordered the carvery, my son and his wife ordered off the menu. I must say that this was the worst carvery I've had in a long time, meat was very dry and all the veg looked like it had been sat there ages.

    Refurb is OK and it's nice to see the pb getting a make over. I think there needs to be a little more staff training as a lot of the young guys were a little unsure of what they were doing. This will come though. I do have to say my steak was absolutely brilliant. Think the menu could be a little more exciting too. Overall I'm sure it will get better and the place is much imporved.

    Before refurb the Mallard was well known locally as the place to go for an excellent 'all day' carvery. The new menu online showed that the carvery was still offered so we booked a table for 6.30 expecting to get one. Very disappointed to be told that it is now taken off at 6.00pm. Why on earth was the decision made to do this? Make it 7.30pm. at least to give working people a chance!

    As this was the first night, I would like to say the staff were excellent, trying to do thier best. I know there were 'teathing' problems with the phone+ menu online. So I will be going back again at a later date.
