    Lovely meal and a nice feel about the place. The lighting was a little too dim for our liking as it was difficult to see our food, but overall, a really nice ambience. Waitress was polite and helpful, and the food was so tasty. Perfect for a few cocktails and a girly catch-up or a celebratory meal.

    Excellent choices for the Christmas menu... Turkey and Ham, Beef and Risotto all excellent as were the desserts. Service by our waitress was very good and prompt. Would not hesitate to recommend or to visit again.

    Didn't like the ham croquet I think to ask bout it if they ask for Turkey and Ham. I'd rather a slice of ham. Apart from that the meal was delicious and different. Service and staff were out of this world

    We had a table for 4 people. 3 of us went for the carvery, beef was the dish of the day. I asked for roast potatoes instead of mash, the roast potatoes came out when my dinner was ate. The beef looked like it was sitting under heated lamps for ages. The portion size was small and when the roast potatoes did come out I could hardly cut them and was conscious of breaking a tooth!!! Taste of the roast potatoes was not good. The Yorkshire pudding was teeny. Would not recommend the carvery at all. The toilets were disappointing, smell coming from them was not good. No soap!!!!
