This place is one of the Harvester chain of pubs(?). Whilst the building may look old and traditional if my memory is correct it was built in the 1990s following the failure of the ludicrous Fantaseas project which replaced a perfectly good outdoor swimming pool. The eventual replacement for Fantaseas was Larkswood Leisure Centre, of which this place is now part of. I have never been in here or are ever likely to as I would rather cook at home than go to a Harvester so no rating is offered.
