    Very busy so had quite a wait for everything. Staff were very helpful. Roast dinner delicious as usual. We tried the sticky toffee pudding and weren’t disappointed. We will be returning, possibly when a little quieter.

    Sunday lunch, excellent service from all staff, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable. Food very well presented and everything was hot and tasty. One negative only, I found the calamari starter very greasy, due to lots of batter on it. Recently I've eaten more lightly battered calamari which I prefer, maybe an idea....

    Another reasonably enjoyable experience at this restaurant. The food was excellent in terms of flavour and presentation. I do, however, have one complaint……. for my main course I had the lasagna. The taste was excellent. Unfortunately, the size of the portion was very disappointing. It went nowhere near being an adequate size. When it arrived, I wondered if it was a portion used when ordering from the lunchtime deal instead of from the full menu. It certainly wasn’t really value for money. And the extra charge for garlic ciabatta was an added insult. This experience won’t deter me from visiting again but I’ll be more wary of what is brought to my table.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed with the size of your lasagne. Most of our diner's enjoy that it's severed with salad, but we could swap this to the garlic ciabatta if preferred. I highly recommend you try our chicken schnitzel on your next visit, many of our diners regularly order this dish and comment on what a generous portion it is. I'm pleased to hear you'll be visiting again, and look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Kind regards Elysia, Dave and the team

    Excellent good and drinks all at a reasonable price. Food was well presented, tasty and served hot. Staff are friendly and polite. Been a few times now and this was the busiest I’ve seen it. Word is getting out about how good and reasonable this place is.
