It was disappointing from my previous visit last year, the chips weren’t fully cooked and the fish dishes were lacking flavour. Just seems like it’s gone very basic but still expensive

The steak pie & veg was excellent but the service was slow. It was 40mins after arriving at the restaurant before the mains were served. We ordered a dessert but after waiting 15/20mins for it to be served we cancelled as we had run out of time. So disappointed with that.

No other customers, despite not being able to book a different time. Blue cheese sauce did not taste of cheese at all! Music was depressing and had to ask for it to be changed. Not at all what I wanted for my husband’s 60th birthday.

I was disappointed with the roast dinner, I ordered the beef had a very large amount of fat and was quite tough, did I return it no, because my husband would have been eating his meal alone, also when you looked at the plate it didn't look appetising, would I go again, no

We had the lovliest waiter and waitress. They made us feel very welcome and as we were among the last few people to leave, we had a great chat at the bar and found out some history of the building. Very interesting. Will definitely visit next time we're over that way.
