   The restaurant is a lovely lay out! The staff were lovely, though it felt as though a lot of new staff didn’t make it overly smooth. However they were trying hard, just needed a lot of support. The dinner service was slow, which isn’t easy with kids, but we managed to keep them entertained during the wait. Food itself was nice.

   Natalie has to be one of the sweetest, professional and welcoming server we’ve experienced in a long time - the pub seemed a little run down but was being painted

   Good place to eat for a Pub lunch, food very good and service excellent. I think it’s fair value for money and have eaten there before and will do so again.

   We booked at the last minute on the longest day. Unfortunately we also had the longest wait for our food. Although the service was friendly and cheerful it was also very slow. I think they were understaffed as the one young lady was manning the bar and taking orders. Our starters arrived more than an hour after we sat down. My food was very tasty (whipped goats cheese stater and vegetarian risotto) but my husband was a little less delighted with his calamari starter though his steak main was nicely cooked.

    We had lunch today for Father’s Day. Hadn’t been before. The food was good but the service was the worst we had seen in a long time. There was no management presence and the floor was run by young people. We were given our menus, 20 mins later the order was taken. We were given dessert menus and had to ask for our order to be taken which seemed at the time like it was an inconvenience by the look on her face. We asked for the bill and was told someone would be over to take payment, they never came. Our waitress was fairly friendly but the final staff member we interacted with was incredibly unfriendly and certainly not Someone that should be working in the hospitality industry. I work for a chain of 5 star hotels so I’m fairly relaxed normally when I go out as I understand the pressure of service time but this was awful. If you could see the staff rushing around then I think we would have understood but they were chatting at the bar a lot of time and had no knowledge of what was happening in the room around them. We would never return and sadly would tell others we know not to waste their money.
