    Amazing food for Mother’s Day. Staff very friendly and nice atmosphere. Loved the live music our 2 year old enjoyed dancing and gave her some entertainment! Will definitely be back.

    The food was generally to a good standard, though the main (a roast) wasn't quite as good as the starter or desserts. Staff were very attentive and accommodating, in good cheer. Atmosphere was lovely - went for mother's day and all the mothers present (2) enjoyed themselves very much. Overall the building was tidy and presentable, with lots of light and space so that neither the seating G arrangements nor the noise level were overcrowded. Overall a solid experience!

    Nice afternoon out for dinner on Christmas Day. My party which consisted of family were happy. Especially my mum. Who is now in a wheelchair. We managed fine getting her in and out of building and to bathroom. So that made me happy.

    Absolutely lovely Mothers Day experience. Ambience and service was excellent. Unfortunately mum's meat dish was difficult to cut and chew. Apart from that it was delightful 😊
