Service was a bit slow despite it not being that busy. Menu had no salad options in an extended period of hot weather. Some staff seemed inexperienced or not fully trained

Our food took ages to come and when it finally came one of the meal was forgotten and then it wasn’t what we ordered. The service was average, they didn’t bring cutlery, etc.

Lovely surroundings and staff, Sunday lunch, veg just warm, meat a little chewy. Not sure we’d return for lunch . We may try an evening or alternative menu before we right it off

Very nice Sunday lunch and reasonably priced for the food, the wine was a bit pricey for a house wine though. Would visit again in the future

The starters were superb but avocado and prawn salad merits at least one slice of brown bread and butter. Our mains were not so good. The penne pasta sauce had separated leaving the dish full of oil whilst my partner's belly pork was chewy in the extreme and certainly needed the steak knife provided. Our comments were noted by the waiting-on staff and no charge was made for either main course. This gesture was not what was expected and certainly made us think that the business cared for their customers. We will give it another go and hope for a better experience.

Had a lovely meal and great service. We were offered the pre-theatre menu and told meals would be prioritised in the kitchen to ensure we were in time for the show. All had pork medallions which were delicious.

Disappointed. Booked online for breakfast, however on arrival we were told that we were unable to have breakfast as too busy on the run up to lunchtime. We were given a free coffee but had to ask for that first. Shame as we have been before and enjoyed it.

Dogs now welcome, with two children scared of dogs, lunch was a challenge. Food and service both ok. I'm not sure if there is a dog-free zone but it would have been nice to have that option.

£12-99 for a Sunday dinner which was lukewarm and mediocre. On the other hand, £4-99 for Eton Mess which was delicious, but I’m afraid we won’t be dining there again.

Booked online, quick and easy, got a reminder a day before asking to confirm. We had the most amazing afternoon tea. It was faultless. Food was lovely and fresh, scones were warm. Delicious selection of sandwiches, and mini desserts. We couldn’t eat it all. Asked for the remainder to be put in a doggie bag to take home, which was no problem for the staff. I will certainly go back, lovely place and staff. A lovely treat for my daughters birthday. Thank you x x

Arrived prompt at 6.15pm. Whilst staff very polite the time to get a drink and order food was far too long-we barely got our starter & main course eaten when we had to leave to go to a show at 7.45pm. The food was poor-my wife had prawns & avocado for starter which clearly did not see much avocado! The main courses being battered fish for me-fish fine but sloppy batter inside not good- whilst the chips tasted ok-they were a bit soft and oily. My WIfe had Haloumi burger-not good again chips not great. First visit to the Keys very disappointing -but will go again and put this visit down to experience.
