   Food was awful, roasties were hard, broccoli distasteful, beef dry and bland, waiter took our order and never seen her until asked someone else for the bill and the waiter re appeared and included service charge. £65 all in and when I wanted to talk to someone no one around and just stop caring at this point and left. Definitely won’t be back

   Unfortunately there was an issue with the food I ordered and the burger came with the wrong sauce however the girl serving us was absolutely lovely about the situation and happily resolved it. I would definitely go back based on the service we received (it was the Aussie girl) x

   We ate at 5:30pm. We were the last cover of the day, and you could tell. The server couldn't wait to get us out of there. Asking during our mains 'are you going to be having a dessert so I can let the kitchen know if they can close down or not'. The food was sub par- very salty! A strange portion size disparity too - if you had one of the 2 chicken roasts left you were given a half chicken on the bone towered up on top of your food, almost impossible to manoeuver around the plate to debone it. If you had the beef you have a few thin slices of tough beef. Overall a very poor meal and experience. Wouldn't recommend.

   Fantastic Food full of flavour. We like to keep tabs of our Sunday Lunches with a little post meal review and the whole family raved about who tasty the food was. The Beef was excellent and the Chicken very well cooked and plentiful. Tasty Trimmings too with Giant Yorkshires! Lovely venue and ambience. Highly reccomended.

   The service was ok and the roast chicken was pretty average.

   Food was good, service was really lacking. No one asked if we wanted more drinks when the wine had finished, had to ask to have our plates cleared once finished dining after waiting for over 10 mins, asked for the bill and still left our dessert plates in front of us, no offer of coffee etc. Would have shared this in person when paying but no wasn’t asked how our experience was just how we wanted to split the bill. Felt very much like the servers just wanted to get their shift over and done with. Overall just really poor which was a shame as food and setting was nice.

   Venue is lovely, we were sat in the restaurant near the back. Temperature, lighting and volume all at good levels!! Unfortunately the food was disappointing. Had the cauliflower starter - it was dry with a small amount of dried in sauce on the top. For £9 it was completely underwhelming. The halloumi fries came with very little dip although they were substantial but again for the price it felt like the quality could have been better. My friend and I both had plant burgers which were ok. Service was a little slow for a Monday night but it was ok. Overall it was quite an underwhelming experience and I wouldn’t eat there again. Maybe would just go for a drink next time.

   Three of us booked for dinner, early on Monday evening. The restaurant was understandably quiet, which was fine, but we were really disappointed with the food. The cauliflower starter I ordered was really floury and the fish was mostly batter with very little fish. We had to ask for the chips to be replaced as they were cold. Service was OK - nothing special.
