    Very enjoyable lunch today. Log fire burning and some great menu options to choose from. The restaurant was fairly quiet but we were looked after well by the serving team. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

    Food was generally ok, they struggle slightly with the roast as some components were cold. Main issue was the fish of the day which was dry and overcooked, maybe hadn't been cooked to order?

    Hi Stephen, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review, all feedback is appreciated. I can assure you all food is cooked to order.

    Very nice lunch. Welcomed and sweated quickly and offered drinks and menu once seated. Everything done in good order, food was good quality, very tasty. Decent price. Nice space between tables. Very busy and good ambiance. Good amount of attention without being intrusive. No music though. Good table prep, all meals ready and served at same.

    The service was friendly and efficient from start to finish. Thank you Madalina. Food was great and portions extremely generous. It's a lovely pub/restaurant with a good atmosphere, warm on a cold night. Without any notice Madalina arranged an Anniversary 'cake' for two of our party. Well done & thank you. We will definitely be back - not such a long gap next time. It is quite expensive, but you get what you pay for, I guess! It is worth it.

    Hi Graeme, Thank you so much for your wonderful comments. We always love having you in. Yes, please don't leave it so long next time, you're always welcome. Kind regards, Madalina Sanderson. General Manager.
