    We had a very pleasant meal at the Yachtsman. The staff were very friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere suitably informal. Altogether a good experience.

    Several things on the menu / specials board sold out by 1900 on a not too busy Friday night, but what we had was okay. Order your steaks rarer than you normally have them! Excellent waitress, nice clean tidy pub, what you would expect from Hall & Woodhouse.

    Shame as we were looking forward to a nice Sunday lunch (me, my wife, 8yr old and 11yr old children) but we were placed in a fairly small cove of the Restaurant with another family when there was seemingly more space elsewhere. Then we were served a starter that was Frozen which put us off the entire meal but we persevered as we were hungry and hoped that the mistake wasn't repeated with the mains. To be fair it wasn't hence the 2 and 3 scored rather than a 1. The Waitress was mortified when we advised her of the issue with the food and couldn't be more apologetic but nothing from a Manager and no encouragement to come back by way of a discount offer against a further booking which, if it was my business, would have been an absolute minimum.

    We didn't realise until we returned home that we were charged for wine and lemonade, instead of a spritzer. Apart from that the food was great and the service was superb.

    Clearly understaffed as we had to wait about an hour from ordering to when the first course appeared. Other people were complaining about the food and others were walking out without eating ! However the staff were very polite and apologetic and we thought the food was very nice
