Not much choice Steak came with chips and rocket……no sides. It was advertised as watercress One steak was returned as it was not cooked as ordered. Came out again not cooked to order again Charged over £13 for water As this was a birthday celebration it was ruined Nice venue I.e. decor, friendly bar staff Halibut from specials board had very little sauce and not worth the money charged

Disappointing Sunday lunch. Ordered roast pork and crackling. When served there was no crackling and potatoes were over-baked. I complained to be told they didn’t have any crackling and the chefs were making some and some would be brought when ready. Nothing arrived. Surprising as Sunday lunch is usually very good. My guests vegetarian wellington was very good.

8 of us went for Mothers Day lunch which was a 2 or 3 course Sunday lunch. The food was amazing, crispy roast potatoes, large Yorkshire puds(!) and beautifully cooked meat. They also came round with extra piping hot roasties and puds should we want them. Service was great and wasnt ever left needing someone but also didnt feel intrusive. At the end they added a lovely touch by giving all mums a small bunch of daffodils and an incentive to return. Only issues on days like that is the parking but thats just proof of how great the place is

One of our favourite foodie venues! Food is always great and staff are fantastic. Our ‘go to’ when we want to go out but not sure what we want because we know we’ll always enjoy it.
