Excellant friendly service. Food was delicious and piping hot. Plenty of choice on the menu for starters and mains, unfortunately was so full could not manage a dessert but am sure they would have been just as nice. Lovely evening

The service was very poor. Waited the whole sitting for our tap water. Glasses arrived half way through. One member of staff was very good but on the whole , a very disappointing experience Food was average and our bill was expensive.

Warm welcome from staff on arrival and during our visit food was amazing Very relaxing atmosphere we finished our meals and was left to finish our drinks and was asked if we would like more... not pushing to clear the table and asking us if we would like the bill very impressed with our experience would definitely recommend.

Food was well cooked and tasty. Menu is limited. Ambience could have been better with softer lighting. Quite expensive for what it is, but we had an enjoyable evening.

Excellent service and food.This restuarant is 100% better than the Apperley bridge Moody cow. I was in a party of 16 with 4 children and the staff could not do enough to accommodate our needs.

Service, ambience and food excellent - as has always been my experience. In fact, if any criticism could be forthcoming I would say the portions are a tad too large so that one course if enough, which is a shame when the choice in all courses is so good.

The main course portions here are big but the starters are too nice to miss so learning from experience we shared a starter. Braised brisket, sirloin steak beef short ribs and haddock Marsala all resulted in empty plates and 4 satisfied diners. If you like meat you will love this place and the staff are really friendly. We still had space for desserts and we just about managed to finish them, sharing again.

The food was great and the staff are friendly and helpful. We had a lovely evening. We all had starters and a main course. I did want the beef short rib but it had sold out but the waitress recommended the pork ribs any they where lovely. The meat just fell off the bone.

Lovely food and great service, efficient and friendly. It would have been a full house if the puddings were home made, a bit of a disappointment at the end of a great meal. It could improve with a rail at the front or a ramp for disabled guests
