    The staff kept leaving a back door open and the very cold draft kept blowing on our table. All 8 of us were commenting on how cold it was where we were sat.

    1st time here. Chose the Sunday roast. Server was really friendly and helpful. Plenty of staff. Place looks much better on the inside. We arrived early but it filled up and was very busy. Noise levels were high but it didnt bother us too much. Not a gteat choice for those with hearing aids! We could see into the kitchen which was intetesting, constant turnaround. All the food coming out looked great. The menu is a bit pricey. Two courses, two non alcoholic drinks £90.We had beef and pork. Beef had a few bits of grisle as sirloin does sometimes, the pork was cut very thick with crisp fat left on. The vegetables were fabulous, plentiful and tasty. Had the panacotta and sticky toffee pud desserts both good. All in all, a good experience.
