I've nothing against dogs or their owners but don't really want to share where I'm eating with them or listen to their yapping (and the dogs!). Aside from that the food was fine if a little short on portion size and my main course was not as hot as it should have been, perhaps standing too long for service? There was only one member of staff on duty which perhaps explains the delay in being served and whom seemed a little rushed or otherwise happy to socially engage with some familiar patrons at the expense of others!? Didn't try the sweets but at £7.50 a pop and what was observed others were having wasn't missing out and certainly not worth it! Overall not quite what was expected and may be better experienced on an evening when access to the main restaurant area is permitted. For what otherwise was only bar food given the accommodation then overpriced for what it was so there's room for improvement and as it stands not a venue I'll rush back to or particularly recommend.

The food is good here with a good choice but the gravy is one flavour for all and not very good at that! Same gravy for roast pork dinner, liver and onions and beef suet pudding, I would guess at some type of catering mix, not bisto that’s ten times better than this. Fish and chips great as are most other things just don’t order gravy !

However, the service was good as always and the food was very good. A great atmosphere and lovely decor. The Manager as always came over for a chat and we will be back soon!

Creme brûlée was awful all the decorative stuff on the top too much. Why mess with a good dish. Very expensive for the quality of the food.
