    The staff are really friendly and the food was amazing! The only downside is the parking as there’s no car park and it’s at the bottom of two steep hills to park on.

    We had the most lovely Father’s Day meal here. The food is exceptional, especially since I need gluten-free - I love the gf choices and the fuss-free-way it’s handled. The kids cleaned their plates, as did we, had the best time and will definitely be back again soon! …the kids wish me to add that the bill comes in a glass with sucky sweets in there too, that was possibly their favourite part!

    Really disappointing attitude from waitress. The roast tasted bland and like it had been under a heat lamp for hours.

    Great food, great service. Obliging staff. We had a variety of food, some gluten free. Like the idea of smaller or larger portions on certain foods. Ideal if you want to make sure you have room for pudding.
