    Carvery was good and not so good. All the meat was beautifully cooked, veggies were good but roast potatoes were very disappointing as they were drenched in oil but totally dried out. Lesagne was dry and so was the sticky toffee pudding, crumbled topping was powdery but cherry filling good

    We booked for 12.30 the car park was full and we got there 10 minutes before. We checked in and got shown to the table. Ages before we were asked for drinks order. Well over 40 mins after one of the guests had a starter for us to called for the carvery. The meat was overdone , the swede was stone cold even though it was fresh from the kitchen, roast potatoes overdone , Yorkshire’s were soggy and the cutlery blunt.
