    Brilliant from start to finish. Prawns and wings to start amazing. Fish and the Sunday roast both perfect. Desert was yum! Looking forward to our next visit

    Have frequented here several times and on this occasion disappointed. On arrival the waitress reluctant on showing us to our seat as she felt she was missing her coffee. One of the children didn't get their cheese sauce with their wings and in fairness the waitress promptly brought one however when it came to the bill they charged for it even though it was missing. Overall portion sizes are getting smaller but the bill isn't. Not value for money.
