    Excellent food and service, but that’s normal and expected here. A few changes to the menu since we last ate here, all good.

    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 .
