    Our first time here, very impressed. Friendly and helpful people working here, we had pate then cottage pie finishing off with the apple and raspberry crumble. All delicious, presented perfectly and the single portions of cottage pie in square cast iron skillets was areally nice touch. We will definitely be back.

    Save your money food was absolutely awful all frozen and tasteless no fresh vegetables as I left best part of it I’d say it was inedible my husband ate some of his but even he thought it was atrocious shouldn’t have paid really but felt sorry for the young girl who was left to deal with it. Manager offered free desert but I declined as main was so bad gave us free drink. Won’t be returning. Awful

    It was very quiet. Good value menu. However one of the mains came out cold and had to be returned. We were left to share the other main whilst we waited. Hard to understand why there was an issue with the food as there was hardly anyone in.
