Sunday lunch was generally excellent. Service was good and orders taken promptly and meals served quickly. Starters were all fresh and very good. Childs Sunday Roast would have satisfied most adults. Main meals were all served together along with a good selection of vegetables. Yorkshire puddings were a little dry and Onion Rings overcooked; otherwise a very pleasant meal at a reasonable price.

Had the Chateaubriand, beautifully tender. Service slow but everyone polite and attentive. Pleasant atmosphere, comfortable seating. My parents enjoyed the roast, the meat had a nice flavour, although the vegetables were undercooked including the roast parsnips and potatoes.

Great service, friendly staff, lovely food. We were slightly held up but phoned ahead and this was no problem, and we weren't made to feel rushed. Good choice of food on menu.

Enjoyed our meal but the steak had been over-seasoned with too much salt. It spoilt it slightly for us. Just depends how you like it I suppose. Staff were helpful and friendly.

The starters and desserts were lovely. I had pork for main course which perhaps was a little over cooked. I have had steak here before which was cooked perfectly so in future I would stick to this. The service was slow and unfortunately this seems to be the case regularly.

The food was excellent especially the sharing steak, even if a little pricey. However the service slightly slow but not enough to stop us going back.

Very good, staff as helpful as always. Food straightforward and well presented.We requested a wine not on the main wine list and the manager went to the trouble of searching a bottle out for us.

Not as good as it usually is, burgers were dry and overdone, restaurant was like being sat in a fridge, maybe just a one off?

Steak nights are a favourite of ours, great that you can go Tuesday Wednesday or Thursday for the offer, for 2 steaks and a bottle of wine. £29 is a bargain

First time we have done the lunchtime offer, the food was good, although we did book off the main menu for starters, my husband ordered the burger from the lunchtime special board, I think it needs to be clearer that there is an extra charge for this
