    Lovely restaurant. This was a return visit with a last minute booking being made on the day. Starters were tasty, we had the bang bang chicken and Calamari. Fillet steak for main which was well cooked and very tender and tasty. Would go again.

    Service was the poor , which was a real shame as the steak was lovely. Multiple waitresses looked after us, but had to be prompted to take our order, and then to chase up the food after 30 mins of waiting. This was at 2.30 in the afternoon so not sure why staff were not able to service the customers. It was a shame as it was my wife's Birthday. After this experience we won't be coming back in a hurry.

    Last week we had family over from Canada and as they were going back before mother's day we decided to take mum out on Sunday for an early mothers day treat I recommend the chequers as the fillet steak has all ways been excellent on my previous visits. when we ordered it was fillet steak all round 5minutes later our waitress came back to tell us no fillet steak sorry. very disappointed with this as I had recommend it we decided to go for the sirloin and although 3 of the 5 enjoyed it 2 were not impressed but with mum there did not complain didn't want to spoil her day. The waitress was very polite and helpful and we left the tip on the bill because of that. Regards Graham.

    The meat was amazing!! Really good quality, the experience was great in terms of the butcher's block, no fault here. The triple cooked chips were a bit non descriptive not amazing at all. Service needs to improve, less chatting amongst each other more attention to the guest...

    Guys I'm writing my review : A group of 8 booked a table at 5pm on a Sunday evening, thinking that we had booked an early dinner. On arrival we were informed that the kitchen would close in an hour at 6pm and that they were closing for the week due to refurbishments. We had made our dinner booking weeks in advance and were not informed via phone or email that this was occurring and how it would impact our dinner. Having reconciled this issue we decide to forge ahead and order off a limited menu which was not representative of the normal menu because of the impending closure. Very disappointed we order from the limited menu. A number of orders were made for the fish and chips, after the order was made we were informed that they had a very limited quantity of haddock left and would supplement with sea bass, upon service of meals the fillet size of the fish was about 80grams, a very small fillet. Nothing was going right, at this point we complain and the chef is at our table with an apology. We are so disappointed we were about to leave, however the manager promises to fix everything and serve the entire table with the left over carvery with a discount to the table. We accept the offer and receive a very large serving of carvery alongside our original meal order. Satisfied with the food now we ask for the bill and are handed the full bill amount with no discount. After bringing this to the attention of the manager, she promptly delivers a 70% discount and we settle that amount with a small tip, for the final effort. All in all a terrible experience on their bad night, but all is fair, as the bill amount was substantially reduced. Two stars for fairness and that's it for this factual account.
