    I've had a meal here a few times and the food and staff are lovely. I had pre-booked on this occasion and had hoped to be in the restaurant area but we were close to it. The food is always very tasty, highly recommended

    I'd previously had the Sunday carvery about 6 weeks before with no issues decided to return to be very disappointed.Firstly the wrong starter had been put through , we then waited along time to be told we could go to the carvery, when desserts were ordered my husband ordered another drink which didn't turn up until the bill was given to us and we were ready to leave.

    Food arrived at different times , no cutlery that arrived after food , tables not cleared . Dirty dusty toilets . Food was average , prices too high for quality of food. No check to see if everything was ok . Came about 4 years ago when we were in the area and it was very nice . Very disappointed
