    Waited for 30 mins at our table, still no service when others who came in and were seated after us were having their orders taken! Waited in a queue at the bar to place our order only to be told they didn’t have one of the choices so I asked if I went back to the table to go over the menu again could they send someone to take the order only to be spoken too rudely with an “I suppose so” It was extremely hot, everyone had come out to enjoy some food in the sunshine, but we did not expect to be treated like this. First bad experience here but won’t be back.

    A good venue to meet a friend for lunch. Easy to find and with its own car park. The staff are friendly and the food is great. They offer smaller dishes for those not wanting a large portion at lunch time. The menu changes periodically. We were not rushed so enjoyed our catch up over a nice meal.

    Good food, great service but a little snug and noisy from day time drinkers. Think next time I’d go an hour later BUT that was a minor thing, overall really good
