We enjoyed our meal, although steak was sent back as it wasn't cooked to instructions. Tables are also too close together.

Staff work extremely hard as the restaurant was very busy. Food very good. We like having a smaller portion. The only other point we would make was that the desserts sold out quickly.

The service was a bit slow, but it was very busy. Unfortunately a large party were sat opposite our table and were very loud and the children in that party, at a separate table to the adults, were extremely noisy to the point that I couldn’t hear what some people on my table were saying.

Took my 88 year old mother for a meal with the family after spending the day in hospital with her. Food has changed as not the sane as when we last came in July. Garlic mushrooms weren’t garlic and on one piece of bread, not the best. Fish Pie was bland, no sauce in it, tasteless & no cheese topping like before. A disappointing visit it has to be said & the waitress was advised & she said she will pass it on, nothing about a good Will gesture. Unlikely to revisit after this experience this evening
