The food at the Jack Russell is usually very pleasant if you do not go on a Friday or Saturday. The lunch time sandwiches and jacket potatoes are very well filled and fresh. Sadly, of an evening the pub is very understaffed in the dining room, with only one waitress working. Although she is very pleasant and helpful, she is run off her feet and for this reason it often takes a long time to get served. We have usually enjoyed a nice but not outstanding meal, with vegetarian, fish and meat options available. You get a good sized portion, also. This quality tends to take a dip, as mentioned, on weekend evenings. Recently some friends had an issue with under cooked lamb; when they sent it back the same meat was recooked and whacked back on the plate to be returned to the table, when they complained nothing was done by management. In short, this could be a really good local pub, but is still has a way to go to get there.
