    My son and I had an early dinner and the staff were so kind to us both and really attentive. The food was great and served quickly. Can’t fault the experience at all.

    Food ok but could have been warmer. Waitress wrongly informed about what options were available and had to return after ordering to say they didn’t have something we wanted. Chose another option for start which never came. Took so long for anyone to come and ask us if we wanted desserts that we didn’t bother. Likewise took 20 mins for someone to actually come and take our payment. Not good enough service for the price.

    Food and service were excellent. The only slight negative was noise from the bar was quite intrusive and it was fairly dark in the dining room. Having said that, I would return .
