Food was excellent. Service spot on - both in regard to table service and with helping my mum with mobility issues. Mum also commented on how nice and clean the disabled toilet was. Would definitely recommend and return.

Food and service good. Price has shot up recently and 10% service is automatically added. Not sure it justifies the price.

Very busy place. Had to ask for a glass to be served with a bottle. Sunday lunch was served quickly. Food was plentiful. Pork and turkey were tastier than the beef, vegetables tender. Tables were cleaned as soon as vacated. Friendly staff, catered well with family parties.

Not a great deal of choice in menu, but what we had was good, apart from one member of our party who's vegetables were very undercooked and thus inedible.
