We visit this restaurant as regularly as we can - because it is usually excellent - on ALL levels! Service is always superb, friendly and polite and the food is usually delicious. However, this Sunday was not up to their usual standards, as they had not ordered sufficient food and had run out of all Roast dinners apart from Chicken, which was OK - but they had also run out of Gravy, so it was a bit dry for my liking. All that aside, I would not hesitate to reccommend.

We travelled to enjoy a Sunday lunch roast with a 3pm booking. Disappointed to arrive and receive a menu that didn’t include the Sunday Roast options I had viewed the day previously on request. We have enjoyed Breakfast, Brunch and lunch on other occasions.

Just nothing to be unhappy about. Always great service, very smart and friendly staff. Great ambiance in the restaurant. Was there early for breakfast so not busy and staff gave enough time to make your choices before coming over to take your order. Didn't take long to receive drinks and in only under 10 mins did the food arrive, perfectly cooked, great quality produce and for what you get is great value.
