The menu had changed considerably since the last couple of times we had been and unfortunately for the worse; when the waitress recommends for you to have a hot dog as a main course you know it’s not going to go well! If we wanted a hot dog we would have just gone to Five Guy’s it has no place on a restaurant menu! So the menu choices weren’t great but on the positive side the food was cooked perfectly and the waiting staff excellent friendly and helpful as previously experienced

The low mark on the service review was by no means down to the lovely waitress....she was great considerring it was her first shift. The low score is because it is impossible to get through to you by phone or email. 3 people out of a 5 person booking had called and emailed you throughtout the week leading up to our booking and you just don't reply. I'm sure you are losing custom because of this.

Typical menu but done to a high standard. Recently refurbished (or very well maintained, good ambience and friendly staff. Some distance for many to travel, but worth the visit. Options to stay overnight in local rooms.
