    After a few recommendations was a bit disappointed. The place looks lovely. Service was pleasant but chaotic. We had barely sat down when someone asked if we were ready to order. Asked for more time. The Sunday lunch was fairly average (have had better at a lower price point). It felt like it was chicken, couple of soft roasties, 1 carrot etc and small bowl of uninspiring veg. We were grateful for the gravy boat although the gravy was excessively salty. The Yorkshire was perfect. After we finished someone asked if we wanted the dessert menu. We gave an excited yes then after 30 mins still no dessert menu. We eventually got someone’s attention and received the menu. We both opted for the berry and apple crumble. Disappointingly it was crammed in a small bowl with very little custard. Bits of it were cold and bits hot as if it had been poorly microwaved. If heard so many good reports and was really looking forward to this. It was just ok, disappointing for the price point. Lovely location and building but can’t say I would rush back.
