    A young lady served us is a credit to her profession ,her personality and attention to us was excellent and she could not do enough for us, her smile was a bonus. We were allowed to relax while our server was on standby to attend to needs. The wine was excellent and the food was good.we will be back

    Allergies on the menu were all wrong. 45 mins from arriving to get starters and they got one of the starter orders wrong. Steak was good but truffle fries were cold and tasted pretty bad. Duck main was nicely cooked but cold as were the sides. Opted to skip desert.

    A superb night with beautiful food and amazingly nice staff. I brought my mum out for mothers day dinner. On arrival, mum was presented with a complimentary glass of prosecco and a beautifully presented gift bag with lots of skincare treats in it and a rose! The staff were so unbelievably helpful, friendly and attentive and really made the night for both of us. Finally the food was just terrific in terms of value and quality - a really competitively pitched menu with great options and the quality of starter, mains and dessert was beautiful.

    Mothers Day menu was great, extremely good value for money. Made a huge effort for Mothers Day with little goodie bags, prosecco on arrival. Service was lovely, nice break between courses, portions were very big but lovely. Dessert was superb! Music was slightly loud and could have just done with been slightly lower but apart from that, great day.

    Andrea made us so welcome, as always. On arrival, we mentioned to her that we only had an hour for lunch, as we were going to the cinema afterwards. She assured us that she would have us there on time, and met our deadline with her usual smiling efficiency! Esther

    Music was excellent. Held the couple of full tables that were they. Only for the music and musician we would have practically been on our own, no ambience whatsoever which was a real pity due to lack of tables in use. Food good. Service good.

    The restaurant was not busy but it appeared they were short staffed - drinks took ages to come after being ordered my cocktail - a Cosmo was served in a tall glass over ice ! I had to go and ask where one of our drinks were after waiting over 20 minutes The foot was very average and again very slow service Staff were pleasant - it’s a lovely venue but I couldn’t recommend

    The ham hock terraine was a top class starter. My partner enjoyed the quality fish and chips and my lamb was cooked to perfection. Service was not up to the same standard. For example we were not offered water and the starter came before our predinner drink despite specifically requesting that it be served first.

    A bit disappointed with the food. Burger was not nice I have to admit. It was poor quality beef. All other food was fine. Serving staff were very nice but seemed to be under pressure. I have been in the location before and it is a very nice venue. It is a pity the food wasn't up to the venue. Also the menu on the website when booking was different to the menu presented at the restaurant. It seemed to be a very basic menu. I was expecting a more fine dining experience as per the menu. I had chosen the location as a Birthday dinner location but unfortunately it did not match what I was expecting. If the food was better the overall experience would have been fine.

    Food was decent however i think the staff was quite unprofessional. The server we had was lovely however rest of staff we’re constantly chatting around us. It happened twice where we were brought food to us and asked if we had ordered it and we had not. The attitude was very poor when we told the servers we had not. At one stage there was a sever walking around with with two dishes aimlessly around the restaurant for about five minutes. As someone who works in the industry I know that is not normal. We were seated at 4:30 just as a large group were leaving. We were on our main course before anything was cleaned. Not very nice sight to look at while enjoying a meal.

    The ambiance was nice, the service good enough for a place that serves food below avarage. We didn't really get the questions "How is the food?" I guess because they know that the food is not good... Especially for that price!

    The ambience and service were both very good. However the live Elvis tribute act, though well performed, was not what we wanted while we were trying to have a meal and a chat. Food portions were a bit OTT, including an entire melted camembert served as a starter, and an enormous dish of parmesan fries as a side.
