Lovely lunch music a bit loud tried to ring them as running late but all voicemail would like to have spoken to someone. Even when I booked the meal could not speak to anyone. I think you should be able to speak to someone. Apart from that a great meal.

Food was amazing but unfortunately, it took 40 mins just to get our starters. Long wait on mains also. Staff good but not as attentive as experienced previously. It was a busy evening though, but still frustrating as a customer. Can’t fault the food one it did arrive.

At 21.15 our party of 4 had finished the main course and opted for cocktails and/or coffee for 'dessert'. Our waitress said 'no coffees, the machine has been turned off'! At least 35 people were still finishing their meals - so we were unlikely to be the only people wanting coffee. Why cease service so early? So, 'May we have a couple of Espresso martinis?' - no, we don't do them. So, that was the end of our evening. Great venue, fab food - but cessation of post dinner coffee service at 21.15 when a good number of customers are still dining is not really what we expected. BUT we all had a fab time so it's just a small gripe.

The staff were very abrupt, understand it was busy, not a nice welcoming. The prawns I ordered was meant to be olive oil was in sunflower or vegetable oil, dip the bread in was greasy like fried bread, bread was hard. Chips were hard and overcooked, no pototo inside the chip. Out celebrating my birthday with family. Has now put me off coming back.

Arrived 20mns early but they found us a table in the conservatory overlooking the beach which was great. But the service was extremely slow. Took ages to get our starters, and as for our mains , I had to ask after 1 hr why we still had not been served...all in all it took 2hrs for 2 courses! But the food compensated for the wait. It made our return home much later than we wanted (we had come for the day and had over 1hrs30 journey back! ).

The chicken mains were delicious and so was my warm chocolate brownie, but my husband was VERY disappointed with his brandy liqueur coffee, as it didn't smell or taste like it was made from a good quality brandy, but rather like it was made with a brandy essence. ☹️ Great view and good service though
