Excellent staff, very friendly and helpful. Food of very high standard, men appreciated the beef pie for mains, but starter portions of crispy beef was very large. Therefore unable to manage a dessert.

Had to search for kids menus ourselves rather than handed upon arrival. One meal was delivered overdone. Replacement provided but meant had to wait over 10mins whilst others enjoyed their food (and on birthday too!). Staff were generally helpful and pleasant.
