The food was good, staff were lovely and very helpful. Unfortunately, this was spoilt by the loud and foul language being used by the people drinking at the bar-perhaps that was why there was hardly anyone else eating, such a shame.

Had a nice meal bit slow service but very professional. Only real criticism is that the chips were frozen chips & it is a bug bear for me, i dont often have chips but when i do i expect them to be fresh i can warm up frozen myself. After saying that the rest of the food the four of us had was nice & the service & general atmosphere relaxed, comfortable & pleasant

It was a quiet time, with only a couple of other tables occupied, but everything was fine. We were made to feel welcome, the food was excellent, and the staff friendly. The chef / owner came to our table himself to ask if everything was all right, and chatted for several minutes. Highly recommended.

Although we did have to wait a while to be served, we did understand and did not mind as the restaurant was extremely busy. We certainly did not let it spoil the evening! We have been many times before and will certainly be going back many times in the future with our 3 (yes 3!) golden retrievers!

If I’m being honest it wasn’t as good as previous times. I thought I would try something different but it back fired. The tart was very undercooked and I sent it back, it came out again, it was better but I feel maybe they should cook the pastry then put the tomatoes on top otherwise the moisture of the tomatoes won’t allow the pastry to cook. Service was very good everyone was smiley. The lady who sorted us out did it very efficiently.

It was very busy and only two members of staff. They did so well to serve all customers. Service was fantastic and the young girl on was very friendly and attentive. Well done to them! Black pudding fritter were delicious and nachos yummy. My husband loves his mixed grill, I had the king burger. It was huge! But I loved it. If I was to give a criticism some cabbage/chutney type thing came with it but it was floating in a lot of oil, I don’t think that is need maybe a fresh relish instead?? Atmosphere was also great!

The curry dish was described as madras but was very mild when served and disappointing. We mentioned it to a member of staff who advised that she would convey our comments.

Again another splendid meal. The staff, the service and the food are always top notch. New winter menu, lots of choice, little bit disappointed that the Hoats cheese starter and the scampi are not available on the new menu. Even so once again 10/10.
