I had a carvery it was Ok. Paid £15 for a carvery and a lime & soda. Got the choice of 3 meats instead of 2. Yorkshire pudding are very big. You can upgrade by a few quid to get pigs in blankets etc. Spacious pub lots of seating inside and outside. On the doorstep of Carr Mill Dam where you can go for a walk around the dam. P Pub gets busy in spring & summer months best to get there early. Also has I Hotel on site. Not sure of the name.

Very good service from Kelsey and Alfie, attentive and smiley. Food also very good, the roast potatoes are excellent and a good selection of vegetables. All public areas were clean and well maintained. Tables were spotless. It wasn't too busy when we went but it it's still advisable to book for Sundays as this is a popular place and good value. I really like the Carr Mill Toby carvery and will definitely be going again.
