    We went for Sunday lunch, and the food arrived cold. We then had to wait approximately five minutes for vegetables to be served. The gravy was virtually non-existent, and we waited an five minutes for very small portion of gravy to be provided for three people. My wife found a black hair in her food, which completely put her off the meal. We chose to remain silent, pay the bill, decided never to return that establishment again.

    Food was very good however one of our party didn’t get an extra he ordered and then was charged for it, no one checked if our food was ok or if we needed more drinks and we were never offered deserts. Worse service we have ever experienced here and my father comes over from Bristol to dine as he has lived it in the past. Very disappointing yesterday.
