    We had to wait when we arrived to be shown to our table. We felt the choice on the menu was quite restricted. The food was all cooked well and tasted very good.

    The choice and quality of food was good and the overall bill good value for money. We had a table in the restaurant area which was quite noisy. Service was okay.

    The Sunday roast was amazing! We were sat by the bar so it was very noisy but it added to the entertainment. The meats were really tasty and abundant! There was really good mix of veg and the gravy was superb. I would definitely return. It’s the best in the area so far!!
