Brand new Marstons roadside carvery food led pub by the roundabout off the A614 at ollerton across from the McDonalds. This is in no way a drinkers pub and drinkers are treated very poorly here with a very stingy few tables allowed for drinkers alone, i was actually told i was not allowed a table because i was not dining, this is not acceptable.
There are eight hand pulls that repeat the same four beers all from the Marstons range and extended family with Hobgoblin and Pedigree seeming to be there permanently. On my latest visit there was also a guest from wychwod (their blind jack which was kept ok but was floral and a really horrible drink in my opinion) and Jennings but i failed to note this one . The Hobgoblin was kept in average condition at £3.10 a pint which was ok value but I have had far better pints.

The food is standard pub grub but generous portions are given and the carvery is busy on most days which usually requires you to join a waiting list that can run above 2 hours at peak times. Really not a place to bother with unless hungry because as a pub it fails quite bad.
