Food excellent, Waiter excellent. Bit rushed as only allowed 2 hours, could have done with 2 1/2 -3 hours. Bit disappointed that there wasn't a cocktail menu so that I could see what was in each one.

The meal was ok. The bill was £36.50 and I had every intention of leaving the change from £40 as a tip but when no change arrived I decided to ask for my change and gave them £1.50. To my way of thinking a tip is discretionary restaurants should not decide to take their own tip. Rant over!!

Lovely friendly restaurant, staff were brilliant, dinner was good although my granddaughter had beef skewers which were very small, we were also disappointed with a tiny banoffee pie for pudding, which was very nice but far too small!

Beautifully presented food which was well cooked and we found the service efficient and friendly. Perhaps the interior is a little old-fashioned but it has its own charm

Lovely waitress but food not good at all. Although they did prepare my daughter's main course again (and it was fine second time around). And they didn't charge us for the two dreadful burgers. Some of the other meals looked ok - maybe we were just unlucky...

Was disappointed as we didn't know the restaurant was under new management . There was little atmosphere unlike previously. My meal was average and in actual fact I had a very upset stomach during a theatre performance afterwards.I won't be recommending this restaurant and won't visit again.

Sunday lunch was lovely. We all ate off the set menu and all the food was really good. They made changes when requested. Good service at the right speed. There were seven of us and we had a comfortable table with enough room.

Went in a party of six, shown to our table and drinks ordered and served quite quickly 3 of us ordered the garlic mushrooms starter, but none of us could taste any garlic when eating it. The pork belly and crushed new potatoes main was very tasty, plenty of potatoes but could have done with a vegetable as well, such as runner beans. The friends who ordered sea bass were happy with theirs, as well as potatoes they had tomatoes and beans. Our 5 mains were only just lukewarm, but the steak and chips order was hot so guess ours had to wait while that was being cooked. Coffees ordered and arrived promptly. Food overall good value for money, although drinks on the pricey side.

Two visits this week. Midweek food was good and portions overgenerous. Sunday lunch less good, food average but roast potatoes were poor, not crispy and an odd flavour.

Unfortunately the reception we got from one of the waitresses was not a welcoming as expected. We had reserved a table and when we were sitting down this waitress asked if we had booked despite being shown to our seat by another girl. Her manner was not awful!!

The meal we had was lovely, and the decorations at Christmas make the Restauarant very cosy and festive. The only complaint I have is that we booked online which was very easy, but when we arrived for the meal was told that they needed the table for someone else in an hour and a half!! That wasn't the best greeting we could have received. I felt we were being rushed once we had our main course,and we left without having a dessert!!
