Fantastic meal today. Took my mom out for early Mother's Day meal. 3 meat carveries and one vegetarian meal. All the food was fantastic, the gammon in particular was tasty and succulent. As always an exceptional variety of veg and sauces. Can't wait to go back. Was busy so would definitely recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

Friendly staff all though the service was a bit slow probably due to the just eat orders flying out of the kitchen. value for money a good solid meal nothing spectacular but nothing horrible either the slaw was decent. I would have preferred a proper plate rather than plastic burger box.
