Where do I start? The wine order was wrong, the staff were all over the place. Pork was so fatty, Portions were tiny. And at the end of the night, I was given someone else’s bill

Very nice food and good service, however, cold plates were provided for each course which resulted in food losing heat a bit too soon. Not a major issue but one which just took the edge off what was otherwise the enjoyable experience we normally have at this restaurant.

The food was at 5* serve hot, and tasted lovely but what let the resturance down was the service out front, we got in at 8pm and then staff member didn't come until 8:25 to order drinks and then it was other 20mins until they came back to order of starters then we were sat waiting for them to take the old plate away and to order our mains

Not a good visit this time although food was lovely. We were shown to our table and then was swiftly asked to move as it was the wrong table. We were not given prawn crackers as nibbles but we could see other people enjoying theirs. We ordered starters and when they were brought out, the waitress did not appear to know where to take them. She asked two other members of staff where they had to go. Drinks are really expensive.. £5 for a pint of shandy!

Fantastic experience! The food was out of this world and there was plenty of it. The ambience was lovely, the whole restaurant was full and lively, the only thing I would change make would be it needs some background music.

Service was great, food was even better. With the buffet I would recommend ordering lots of starters and enjoying them as by the time the mains arrive you're too full to actually enjoy them.

Excellent food, great round table but restaurant was so noisey that couldn't hear what people were saying across the table. Waitresses did a marvellous job but were under pressure & could have done with more staff.
