Excellent venue. Good service, friendly staff, varied menu but not too extensive. I like that the dining area is carpeted - really helps with the acoustics, especially for the hard of hearing & elderly.

Excellent service and fabulous food, highly recommend this establishment. Price was competitive and good choice of menu, something for everyone. It is very busy restaurant so book well in advance, they didn't have a Friday or Saturday night available for weeks.

Not a very extensive menu seemed to rely on their specials board or their set meal which was not very inspiring. Food was very well cooked and service excellent. Quite expensive.

When we ordered food we asked for 2 sausage and mash and requested that sausages were well done. They were not, the meat was cooked but the skins were not even light brown, we did tell the waitress and she just said sorry. Don’t think we will go again as we struggled with the environment it was a Tuesday and the noise was appalling.

Lovely place to eat. Staff excellent and quality and quantity of food is too. Only reason for 5 rating is my friend and I could hardly hear ourselves speak over the noise from the table next to us. Maybe if couples could be put little further away from parties it would be better.

Excellent service and friendly staff. However, and I didn't complain at the time as the other three guests's meals were impeccable, but my 8oz burger was extremely dry and just crumbled when you tried to cut it, and the chips were soggy and un-appetising so much so I left half my dinner.

We felt that the carpet in the restaurant was rather tired and should be replaced with wooden flooring which is easier to keep clean. Food excellent Flies a problem
