Good selection of meats and veggies although could have been a little hotter. But in their defence 2 of our guests were a little late owing to traffic.

The starter of prawn cocktail was lovely. However the carvery was very disappointing. The turkey was dry and over cooked. The initial pork that was served up to us wasn't cooked, I don't mean rare, I mean raw!! (That joint was removed after we pointed out that it couldn't be eaten) The beef was ok, and pigs in blankets were tasty. We had a range of deserts. Some were OK, however the cherry crumble was very soggy. The panacotta was not set and disappointing, the accompanying biscuit was so stale it was inedible. The service was quite good and staff polite. We won't be going back.

Everything great but the portion of ham with the ham ,egg and and chips was embarrassingly meagre. It was ONE razor thin slice which was so thin you couldn't even taste it. So tight fisted in my opinion, considering it was £13. I didn't complain at the time as I didn't want to spoil the occasion and the waitress was so lovely. For this reason I will never come back and will not recommend the place. Very unnecessarily stingy and greedy of the management to pass this off as a portion. Such a shame as the broccoli and stilton soup was divine and so was the dark chocolate Belgian tart.

We had a new dish, chicken & mushroom pie. It was very nice. My only disappointment was that it didn't come with any type of potato. When I questioned it, I was told that if you want potato you can buy it as a side dish! Also the prices on the signature dishes have been recently raised considerably.

We went because we had been recommended the Beef Wellington and were not disappointed. It was delicious and the flavour of the sauce was stunning. The selection of veggies were perfect. Starters were great too. Service was friendly, and welcoming. A great way to celebrate my birthday. Highly recommended.

I am sure my Sirloin Steak was cut off a joint of Sirloin Beef as it was all pieces not very tasty and the Peppercorn Sauce was not nearly as nice as I have in other Restaurants . Service very good . Would I return it was a long way to come for a disappointing meal .

Excellent as previous visits. There were quite a few more people in for lunch than there usually are and thought we may have to wait a lot longer. However, that was not the case. The waiting staff were very efficient and the increased amount of people didn't make a difference. Great service.
