Nice food. Waitress who delivered food needs extra training in finesse! Waitress who took orders was very friendly and attentive.

Seemed to have lost its vibe on this visit. Service was quite poor and slow. Food was okay but nothing thrilling. (The oil and presentation on the plate didn’t make it appetising at all for a Sunday roast!) Cleanliness of the restaurant could’ve been better, especially the dirty napkin that was left on the floor and was looked at on numerous occasions by the two members of staff that were working there, not being removed until mentioned.

Excellent service and delicious food in a lovely warm atmosphere. Will definitely return. We also had a 3 year old with us and they had an excellent kids menu.

Really nice friendly service. It was a quiet night when we went (Thursday) but atmosphere was still good. Food was not stellar - but perfectly fine. Would go again, for sure.

Potatoes seemed like aunt Bessie’s, dinner Luke warm, carrots almost raw. Meat was good. Service was slow, seemed to lack enough staff.
