    The food was delicious and I appreciated that they could alter dishes for the food sensitivities that my friend and I have. We also sat in the separate room to the left and it was lovely and quiet for us oldies. Thus my review as quiet. In the main rain it was noisier. Thank you

    We waited and waited and waited for our food . Others around us arrived , ordered and ate … we waited . No apologies no explanation but with the bill came a piece of bread pudding . Extremely annoying . My blackened haddock was dry without mayo I had to ask another server to bring the sauce as our server once dumping food on our table never came back to see if all was ok. Eaten there many times but first time service and food were so frustratingly bad .
