    Nice welcome and good service, fish and chip good and very hot, the mushy peas were a bit cold and too mushy for our liking. Website prices around £2 lower than the actual menu!!! Needs updating!

    Steak was tough and suspect not properly matured. Expensive meal.

    Important Update:

    Quandoo is closing down. This is a planned, phased process and our platform remains available until 30 September 2026.

    The food was absolutely grim....tough tasteless fried "chicken Kiev" with burnt crumbs which they tried to call a special 😂😂😂 it Was beyond vile and I could taste the chip pan Avoid unless you are absolutely desperate.. You'd be better off going to the Tesco express for a pot noodle.

    Good reviews directed us here, however not sure why. Had a Sunday roast, potatoes hard, meat not fantastic all in all very average. Better roasts around for the money I’m sure.

    I love eating at this restaurant and as always the food was excellent. However i had to sit wearing my coat to eat as the restaurant was so unacceptably cold.

    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.
