    The menu was ok. Perhaps a little more adventurous menu will be coming in the near future. Our food was very nicely cooked. Staff very pleasant. We had an enjoyable evening, thank you.

    The Sunday roast itself was delicious but the table service was pretty poor. We either got asked multiple times the same question by different staff, or left waiting for food/drink orders with no staff to be seen! Unfortunately, the young and inexperienced bar staff were not equipped to deal with a typical lunchtime rush.
