Excellent food, friendly service, good value for money, good atmosphere.
Great carvery and good value for money on lunchtime. Lovely staff
Fantastic venue, lovely setting. The food was delicious however service wasn't great. We waited nearly 10 minutes at the carvery to be served and the server wasn't very friendly.
Wrong table size booked even after confirming online for 12 and then again Thursday evening by phone. Meal was for a Birthday and i have to say the whole experience was very rushed with unfriendly customer service. Not what you want for a celebration , felt like we were constantly being told the time we had to vacate which is very off putting. Wont be in a hurry to go back which is such a shame given the reviews.
Had a great time for a birthday celebration all enjoyed
Excellent first visit. Carvery food high quality, fresh cranberries! Local produce, & my! you can tell the difference! Shall be returning hopefully for my birthday 😋👌
A friendly welcome always awaits you and the food is excellent and good value. For this reason we seem to going quite regularly. Thank you to all the staff.
The venue is very attractive and welcoming.The food was very good and excellent value.
Amazing food and very welcoming will definitely visit again! X
1st class great food will be back good service and staff
This was our first visit, was a little disappointed to be given the scrag ends of the lamb, which I was looking forward to! Luckily I chose to have beef as well, so didn't go hungry. Cant remember her name but there was one very considerate member of staff that assisted my mother to get her lunch, was very impressed by this level of service. Hated the process of ordering the food, since the area where this is done gets very congested & it takes so much time. We weren't advised of the process immediately, so had wasted some time before being aware, at which time there were people that at arrived after us already queuing to be served.
Carvery was fantastic service was brilliant would recommend anybody to go great meal
Great meal thoroughly enjoyed it staff very friendly and helpful
Had a lovely lunch time to celebrate our wedding anniversary.
Enjoyed! If chef had a smile would have been nice
Excellent carvery and the midweek deal of 3 courses for £11.95 is well worth it
The food was fabulous. I’ve only had the carvery it was the best I’ve ever had. Meat, veg and potatoes all cooked to perfection. All staff friendly and helpful. Will be back when we’re next on holiday.
Lovely lunch here again... 2 weeks running!! Wot more could you ask for... Great food... Lovely staff.... Quieter today also!!
Very good staff food good all in all a very good night
Food was fantastic had a lovely carvery with my family
Staff were brilliant, food was cooked to perfection, clean tables, cutlery and napkins and the bathroom were spotless. Highly recommended a meal here
The food is very good and the surroundings are very clean and pleasant. The only down side is that too many people are crammed in , making it very difficult to move between the tables.
Fantastic carvery good food lovely staff... A very enjoyable birthday treat! Many thanks
Greeted by really friendly staff. Food delicious and hot. Great choice of meats and vegetables.
Lovely Sunday lunch, good selection of vegetables and meats! I opted for the beef, which you had 3 slices but Would have liked my meat sliced more thicker to actually taste it!!
Started off great waiting staff have body odour problems ☹️
Fantastic food, amazing staff and service. Will be back soon
Beautiful place Great food Friendly and efficient staff What more could you ask for Would definitely highly recommend
Lovely place. Just not much room to sit elsewhere after your meal.
Six of us Visited for daughters birthday . Carvery was excellent as usual , five choices of meats on !!!! Always good food and staff always helpful and polite .
Carvery was lovely! Staff were brilliant. Very happy and will go again!
Beautiful carvery as always. Our request for a suitable table for a disabled guest was met perfectly. The staff offered to help and were excellent.
First time visit, good selection of meats to choose from, I went for the beef and lamb my wife chose the beef and turkey,all of which were cooked perfectly, large selection of vegetables to occupy the meal, again all cooked perfectly, only small criticism was the drinks are expensive.
Great room which we were upgraded to by Adam at no extra cost,we had a 3 course meal which was quality,and a lovely breakfast. Thankyou Adam and staff for a lovely time,in which we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.👍
Very lovely food and fab service, good value roast dinner
Great service and fantastic carvery, very good prices and the food was excellent. Thank you
Our first ever visit. Booked online easily and in at 1400 . On arrival we were greeted with , ‘we close at 3pm, if you want carvery then hurry if you want food from menu then you ave 5 mins to decide. ‘ the staff were pleasant just under instruction to close it seems . We quickly decided carvery and the food was lovely at the risk of not getting anything as this area everything closes at 1400 it seems and for a tourist town this seems crazy. Another couple arrive about 30mins after us and was turned away. The Resturant only appeared to have two other tables occupied while we were there. We were asked if all was well and if we wanted desert which we declined as for fear of upsetting the kitchen staff given they were closing. We left at 2.45pm with indigestion but a lovely carvery in fairness
Car park full had to wait 15 minutes for parking space and then had to park on the end of row.
Food was first class ..on level par with my own carvery
Great carvery and friendly staff we really like it here.
Great food Fantastic service Good price Great venue Can’t wait to go again
Great food in a beautiful setting .we will be returning .
If you like Carvery then get yourself to the punch bowl. Amazing value for a very high quality 3 course meal. The beef from the Carvery is amazing.
The back ground music was ok, but as they had a wedding on at approx 7pm the disco start which meant we had 2 different kits if music. Might be best to turn the back ground music off when the disco starts. Still had a fabulous time & will be back.
Beautiful food staff friendly and polite thoroughly enjoyed our visit.
