    Lovely meal and such friendly service. Beautiful building! Very accommodating with our baby as well which is great as you don't always know what to expect when bringing a baby out with you but staff and facilities were great!

    Booked in and instructed x1 gluten free when we were being seated my wife ensured she told the waiter again x1 gluten free menu as she can become very ill when eating wheat and gluten. On sitting down looking at the menu she had been given a dairy free menu as my wife is so careful as she follows a strict gluten free diet she realised there was food on that menu she couldn’t eat and we requested the correct menu for her dietary requirements. Eating out for her can be extremely stressful so this unfortunately didn’t help her to relax and enjoy what should have been a lovely evening. The food however was delicious

    My son and I had an early dinner and the staff were so kind to us both and really attentive. The food was great and served quickly. Can’t fault the experience at all.

    Food ok but could have been warmer. Waitress wrongly informed about what options were available and had to return after ordering to say they didn’t have something we wanted. Chose another option for start which never came. Took so long for anyone to come and ask us if we wanted desserts that we didn’t bother. Likewise took 20 mins for someone to actually come and take our payment. Not good enough service for the price.

    Food and service were excellent. The only slight negative was noise from the bar was quite intrusive and it was fairly dark in the dining room. Having said that, I would return .
