    Service outstanding. They coped wonderfully with a baby and a very elderly grandmother with a walker. Food was very good apart from the beef roast dinner which had frozen roast potatoes and little meat for £30.

    Great took my family for a meal, and was looked after well! For a Friday lunch didn’t seem too busy which was nice as it’s January. Couldn’t fault the experience, definitely will be back and thanks for Caitlin for looking after us 🙂

    Having been a regular for some time I think this will be our last visit. Food has been going downhill for some time. Fish was very cold in the middle so could not eat. Soufflé was lukewarm at best. Wine list is always poor. It’s not cheap either; I don’t mind it paying if it is good.

    We went to celebrate my daughter’s birthday. Eaten there many times and food has been good. This time staff poorly prepared , service awful and the food was of a very low standard, considering the time we had to wait for it . Also booked under an email offering £20 off and this wasn’t even deducted off the final account . Very disappointed
