Very nice food and big portion sizes! We were almost full just after our starter😂 But we took some of our main home as that was an option 😊

Very tasty food, service was thorough and of a high standard, prices were a little steep for my taste, but we had a very nice meal and left the place happy and with a very full pair of tummies! I will return, but only after a bit of saving 💷💷💷

Food was fantastic as always. Although i still think i would suffer smaller portions for lower prices. Waiting staff are adequate without ever excelling, every time i have been something has been forgotten (usually the bill at the end of the meal) and i have had to remind them. As always though the food was spectacular to see and consume, the sort of food that you actually want to put on facebook and not just feel obliged to.

Excellent meal,good service and great atmosphere.Massive portions and well priced.We had some meat left over and they provided a box to take home for the dog.The dog enjoyed it too and kept going back to his bowl to see if by magic there was more.Not visited the smoke pit for a while and it was good going back. We will visit more often in future.

Delicious! Never had a bad meal here. The restaurant is just set back from the main street so you have to park in a public car park and walk there. It's not too hard to find! The staff are very nice and attentive. You will definitely not leave hungry! Platters are great and the pulled pork is amazing!

A lovely atmosphere, great friendly staff, wonderful food. First time we have ever been there. A casual 'date' for our 26th wedding anniversary. Everything is freshly cooked, this being said we didn't have to wait too long for everything. Won't be our last visit.

Was greeted by smiley face, seated immediately. Offered drinks and given the menu straight away. Food was a while coming but us 4 girls had plenty to catch up on. Food was so tasty. Plates cleared swiftly. We stayed at table chatting after and didn't feel they were rushing us out.

It wasn't very busy, we was seated straight away, we waited 15 minutes for our drinks, mine was flat and we then waited an extra 30 minutes to order, staff not overly enthusiastic, did get a check back though, will probably go back if the staff smiled and knew what the special of the day was

Food is great, price is good for the amount of food you get. The only downfall for me is I think the seats are uncomfortable,
