The setting is lovely and friendly staff but the food wasn’t great, the roast beef was like leather really tough, the roast potatoes were really hard, the cheesecake tasted stale and off. It was a shame as it could of been so good

Food and service were very good as we don’t eat meat would be nice to have a fish choice other than fish and chips or scampi and chips ( to be fair that applies to most places)

Very friendly welcome, lovely setting and cosy table next to the fire. My only complaint was the lamb I choose for Sunday lunch was extremely fatty and for the price paid was a little disappointing.

Met with family, 6 of us, and was given a table in a good spot. Choice of good was too much, all sounded delicious. Happy with our choices and the service. One of our favourite local places.

Dreadful. The food was tasteless but to be fair when we told the waiter 50% was taken off the bill. Not great though when the staff admit it was tasteless because it was frozen. The only thing going for the place are the lovely, friendly staff who are extremely attentive. We won’t be going back.

Could do better. We were served by young staff who appeared to be untrained or didn't bother to engage. The elder staff needed to prompt the youngster that they were to lead us to our table. There was no menu at the table. There was no follow up table service until I approached the bar about this oversight. The elder staff were apologetic. My starter was bland, the main was okay. The other diners dish though plentiful was not especial. The restaurant had a pleasant appearance and ambience, the prices matched this, but the food quality didn't match the impression given. Not keen to return.

This place deserves a lot of credit. They keep their prices down especially from the ones in most of the pubs/ restaurants on this area. They have alot of staff ho are really helpful and friendly. Still the best place around to go to for food and just drinks.

From the moment you walk in you are greeted with smiles and friendly staff. The food was great and arrived without delays. Well looked after by the staff throughout and even managed room for pudding. There was no rush for us to pay and leave either. I would wholeheartedly recommend this place and it has taken us 3 years to make the visit and we now have it as our favorite restaurant.
