Friendly, efficient staff serving good food. We ate quite early (6 pm) so the restuarant and bar were not bussling but busy enough to have a nice atmosphere

We booked on Open Table whilst there were two bookings left. One at 20:00 and the other at 20:15. We were told on arrival that the kitchen closes at 20:00 however, the front of house and chef team were very accommodating. They were polite, friendly and attentive. We both ordered the Chicken Pie and were not disappointed, the side of greens were lovely, as were the chips, gravy and pie! It is a lovely place and we would highly recommend it.

Food and service were very good. The hotel is a little “tired” and could use an upgrade in terms of the decor.

We loved it here. Such friendly staff, who were on the ball and delicious food with some really interesting and different choices. Don’t go if you don’t like dogs. I’m not keen but was able to sit in the main dining room where there weren’t any. But the dog lovers were in their element. We liked the food so much we booked to go again. A relaxed vibe. Very nice toilets, very clean

Two of our meals were as excellent as usual. My wife ordered the spaghetti meatballs and while the pasta and sauce were ok the meatballs were vastly overcooked and like boulders. Sadly inedible. Shame as this is our “local” where we take all our visitors .

I have never been here before, we live around 30 miles away from the restaurant so it has never been on our radar. I had left it late to book somewhere for Valentine’s Day and had to look further afield. Pleased to say that we will definitely be back! The staff very extremely friendly and attentive, the set up of the room was lovely and homely feeling. And the food, wow! All 3 courses were 10/10, absolutely faultless! Good portion sizes too and all extremely tasty! Especially the satay sauce on the starter and the toffee sauce on the pudding! I can’t wait for our next visit. Thank you all for a lovely evening!
