Usually excellent but very disappointing on this occasion. Yorkshire puddings were still frozen on the inside and had to be sent back. Food generally not up to usual high standard.

Varied menu, great food, great service. There were three of us and we ordered a selection of starters as a sort of tapas, it was really good. Nice atmosphere. We went just as it opened at 12-00 lunchtime and had reserved a table, but as it happened it wasn't too busy. I would recommend booking though, as it does get busy.

Lovely meal (steak pie and chips)! Great service, as always. We are frequent visitors and it's always a good experience. No negatives, nice orangery and outside eating, when it's warm.

Great staff and atmosphere. Food okay however the pudding which was supposed to be a chocolate fondue, was cold watery chocolate with stale bits of waffle, rocky road and mini marshmallows. So very disappointing.

Good food and thought we had good service until we realised that we were never told about the specials board. Friendly staff but the waitress was chewing something when she took our order.

Fabulous meal, staff really helpful and friendly. No rush to eat your meal! Only downside was that there was nowhere to park! We did eventually squeeze in near to a hedge but managed to get a few scratches. Think maybe there should be a notice for shoppers to not park there if not eating!

Vey bust post football (England 2 - Sweden 0) but great atmosphere. Great table in the 'conservatory' and lovely staff. Menu extensive, with something for everyone. We chose tempura veg. to start, followed by sea bass and cheese and onion pie. Great tastes and lovely evening.

Great surroundings, lovely food, good service, plus well cooked tasty food. I would like to see a “today’s specials” board, and possibly a refreshed menu after sampling this one on a number of occasions.

We had previously booked a table for 4 noting that two in the party were disabled . It was disappointing to find on arrival we could not access the restaurant area due to a small flight of stairs. A table on the ground floor bar area had evidently been reserved for us but the staff member who greeted us neither knew or checked the reservation until we pointed to a reserved sign on a table in an otherwise empty bar area. The meal itself was satisfactory but did not resemble the Sunday Lunch experience as advertised as there was only Beef ,Lamb or Ham available .The bar staff were friendly toward us but being alone in the bar area lacked the ambiance of a convivial Sunday lunch in the restaurant we thought we had booked.

Nice enough venue however the initial service was slow. That said, the waitress did apologise. The main reason for the score was the food. The flavours were either too strong or lacked any suggesting the chef isn’t at the top of their game. With the taste being poor, it means the price then seems high for the food too. I had two course of which both were quite poor.

Food was very nice. Good selection on the menu. Staff friendly and helpful, they accommodated our family group of 5 giving us the choice of main area or conservatory, and patiently waited for a latecomer.

I was unable to eat my meal of gammon. There was a yellow coating over the gammon, I was told this was garlic. Definitely not, it was some sort of curried sauce, awful. I tried to eat some gammon after cutting off the top but gave up and just ate the chips. When told for the second time that it was garlic I gave up trying to complain. I was told they would tell the kitchen. But nothing was offered as recompense and the full cost was charged. It spoiled our evening as we were friends we hadn't seen for a while.

Kept waiting at the door before being taken to our table. Two of the party ordered pie, chips and mushy peas. The pastry for the pies was hard - like biscuit - and the steak was dry and overcooked. The chips were overcooked and salty, the mushy peas were cold. The Third person (who was paying for the meal - hence I didn't want to complain and embarass him) enjoyed his meal. The desserts were good.
