    Another lovely round of meals with two friends. Sunday Roast & two steak pie meals. Everything was cooked well and piping hot when served. No complaints. We all enjoyed our meals.

    My friend and I had Afternoon Tea at 5.30 pm. She is Gluten Free and everything on her plate was gluten free. The food service and value was phenomenal. All staff so friendly polite and couldn’t do enough for us. Gave a good tip as so well deserved. Definitely be back. Recommending to all my friends. Thank you

    Staff are lovely, tried the themed night for the food. It was good, but the standard menu was better. Having said that I'd try another themed night as long as it's a different theme
