    Table booked for 7:15 and we were sat promptly. Our table was upstairs which was cold, luckily I had a heater behind me. Starter was lovely, but as soon as we finished the main was brought out, giving no break in between. Main meal was ok, nothing to complain about but nothing special. We were then kicked off our table at 8:30! We were told we could finish our drinks at the bar but to be honest at that point my husband left his drink and we went. Considering there were 2 other tables that were seated before us and they weren’t asked to move it has left us extremely disappointed with the service received. We won’t be going back

    Lovely little place, lovely staff and the log fire was burning bright. Decorations looked beautiful. Food was lovely accept the chips were under cooked slightly and I had a hair stuck to my chips but they gave me some fresh ones. Overall lovely experience but they didn’t offer any discount or offer anything apart from fresh chips which I found a little dissatisfying but I’m sure this was a one off things happen.

    We booked here to celebrate my parents golden wedding anniversary and my Sons 21st birthday on the same day. This should have been a lovely evening. Unfortunately we were waiting for our meals for over an hour. Eventually we were told that they would be 10 mins longer. After eating and asking for the bill we were told they were sorry for the wait and they had a big party in and their orders have been placed first. It was an underwhelming and disappointing evening and we won’t be returning.

    6 of us went for Sunday roast, I had been before and recommended we go today. I went for the triple meats, beef, pork and turkey and was not disappointed along with the veggies etc it was brilliant. I highly recommend.
