When we arrived we went to the bar the lady that served us was not very cheerful! Then we got shown to our seat and had to wait for a menu just a slight mix up. But the food was beautiful.

We visited for Sunday lunch. Beef Sirloin was perfectly cooked and lean. The steak and kidney pudding was excellent. Food could not be faulted. However restaurant does need an update. Definitely be back though!

Had a long wait for our meals once we ordered. Starters were fantastic as were 2 of our mains. Meat on the Sunday roast was very disappointing it really seemed as if it had been microwaved. Took it home for the dogs .. they were very happy! Nice staff and lovely atmosphere
