    Our Sunday Carvery was all good with good meats and veg bowls regularly topped up. Deserts good too but it took a long time to get one coffee at the end of our meal.

    Good food - hot and fresh but waited quite a while even though it was not very busy. When food did arrive we were missing a side dish which did not arrive until near the end of the meal despite 3 reminders to the staff. Seemed very disorganised and staff need more training. A real shame as this previously was a great place. Our waitress seemed to work hard but we waited ages for a second cup of tea. As a business they could make more money by checking in with Customers and asking if they would like more drinks, desserts etc. we planned to have desserts but paid and left instead.

    Quality of the food was excellent and value for money through to 2 course meal deal was very good. Lovely decor and layout and the service was helpful, pleasant and very accommodating (we were 15 minutes late). A couple of errors in the order but that may have been caused by the rush to deal with it before the kitchen closed due to our delayed arrival. It would have been nice if there was more than one ale available but what we had was very well kept. It is unclear from the web site regarding when the kitchen is open and we didn’t realise that it closed at 2pm.
