   Always have the most wonderful carvery, plenty of lovely meat and vegetables. If you don’t want the carvery then the vegetable lasagne and scampi is delicious, can highly recommend. Love the staff, genuine attention and always on hand for anything needed. Georgina, perfect as always, thank you 😊

   Sunday lunch. Soup watery, bland. Meat was nice. Cauliflower cheese was nice, roast potatoes nice, Yorkshire pudding nice, roasted carrots very nice. Cabbage was raw inedible. Peas and green beans barely cooked. Paid £52 . Was a shame because this used to be the best for carvery ,sadly not now.

   Food was ok but the service was poor - waited far too long for our orders to be taken and the wait for food was unacceptable.

   Very poor service recieved today, the restaurant was very busy so seated in the bar area. It took about 25 mins to get a drink ordered to be told that it was out of stock we then placed food order and had a 40minute wait without being told we could go to the carvery. We questioned this and had clearly been forgotten as the carvery was empty and the food was hardly warm and we had the lasts of everything when food service had not even finished.

   Very poor service due to not enough staff waited half an hour for a drink when we first arrived, then had to ask 3 times for another drink this did not arrive so had to go to the bar ourselves . Food was very nice but won't recommend it to anyone.

    Never had as bad service as this. 50% of the menu not available. Was told only 1 ribs left… by the time of ordering (25 mins!)…. No ribs. Ran out of soup FFS!🤦‍♂️ no burgers, other choices not available. Staff taking too long to get drinks. “We’ve had a party in”…. Yes but that’s a booking with known numbers so why so little left? From arrival to delivery of main was 1h40. Quality of food was good. Asked to see manager, didn’t appear, too busy in the kitchen! Cooking what exactly? You had next to nothing available. Woeful, inept, incompetent, without doubt the WORST service we’ve ever received anywhere.
