Good service from friendly staff. The food was tasty and delivered quickly considering the restaurant was nearly full. We would quite happily return to visit again.

Excellent meal with lovely service. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Lovely selection of well cooked vegetables. Only disappointment was lack of beef, but we were booked later on in the day.

Had a lovely meal from the new menu. It's a shame that none of the old favourites survived the menu revamp and the prawn cocktail is particularly missed! The smoked mackerel salad was very tasty, but not really a substitute. Best roast lamb I think I've ever had!!

They are very kind. Just one thing: Just double check we you order gluten-free food if you are intolerant to gluten. They have gluten free options, which is great! We ordered a dish that usually comes with bread. Obviously, we asked to remove it when we ordered. However, it came with two slice of (gluten) bread which is not good for contamination issues. Aver all, the rate for us is 5. Enjoy

Good service but the food was disappointing. The roast beef was overcooked, the pork was very fatty. Perhaps 2pm was too late for Sunday lunch.

As always the service and good were both excellent. Good variety of food including a Specials menu and a very good choice of dishes on the children's and desert menus. Lovely, freshly cooked, food! Booking a table is not always necessary but, if there are several of you, it is a good idea to do so.

Our three meals were excellent although waiting for first order for 45 minutes in a nearly empty restaurant is too long and very unusual for the Cradock...

Sunday lunch was excellent. Only marked down because (i) was told were booked up when tried to move time in advance, when they clearly weren’t (there is plenty of space and unused main rooms); and (ii) we didn’t find the two female staff (students possibly) on the tables very professional. We asked for a slight variation to the menu (due to one of the party being ill) and were treated with disdain for doing so, with a ‘can’t do’ attitude, and subsequent whispering between them, eye rolling etc. which was off putting. May give them a second chance because the food was good, but was an unpleasant experience, especially after a two hour drive to get there and catch up with relatives.

Food was very nice. However, we waited for nearly an hour from ordering it to it arriving at the table, no on ecame back to our table within this time to take another drinks order. One meal was then brought 5 minutes after everyone else's.

Good choice of meals. Drinks served quickly but food a little slow to arrive. (We found out later that they were 1 chef down, so they coped well considering this). Nice family atmosphere, not too noisy.

Excellent food, first class service, rather noisy, but to be expected on a Sat night after a soccer home game for Leicester City. Will become a regular venue for us in the future.

It was fabulous as always. The atmosphere, staff and food was lovely! Just one thing I’d say about the prawn cocktail starter is it would be a lot better if the butter was slightly melted on the bread as we couldn’t spread it. Overall, wonderful!

What a fabulous Sunday lunch. A very well thought out menu and lots of home made puds. Nothing worse than paying a fiver for a piece of previously frozen cake.! The staff were all so nice and friendly. We'll ll be back.

A very popular destination for family at the weekend. Glad we booked in advance. Service was slow due to volume of customers, however the food was excellent and the waiting team were very attentive when they had time.
