Great venue to have on a campsite. Food was very good, best steak & ale pie I’ve had in a long time! Bit over priced but you’re paying for the convenience. It’s nicely furnished and there was also live music on which added to the atmosphere. Would definitely recommend

The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was very nice but rather expensive. The soft drinks from the bar were very expensive with a can of Tango or Sprite being £2.50 The decor was rather tired and, in my opinion a bit odd with different coloured chairs in a rather old fashioned look. There was a singer on in the bar while we ate which was rather loud but it wouldn't have stopped me eating there. Overall it was good. The only thing that would make me think twice about eating there again was the price.

Not the best food quality. Although the presentation/appearance was good it’s very basic and expensive for what it is. You have to Que at the bar even if you have a table in the restaurant? It was more convenience using this place, we wouldn’t choose to eat here again.
