In all fairness this place got busy and we expected a little wait and to be honest it was worth the wait. Food and service was spot on. Gent behind the bar was a gentleman

Had to return 1 meal awful, didn't even look edible. Chips on all meals hard and over cooked, items paid for but not served had to ask for them. Not much of an apology just blamed there supplier!! No decent chef would have sent out food this bad!! Won't be going there again.

what a shame. new owners so really wanted this to be good. Sunday lunches ordered and all 3 chicken dinners weren't cooked. Blood seeping all around the bone. Server said they are cooked it's just a different supplier and it's got veins 🥴 luckily spotted before consumed Lady took back and i had the beef which was just ok. no offer of refund or apologies just kept telling us it was cooked 😡

Hi Paulajean, Thank you for your review, I appreciate you taking time to give feedback. I am so sorry that your experience here with us was not a positive one. Everything is still new to us here so we have taken everything you have said and hope to learn from it. From immediate effect the chicken thigh has been removed from our roast dinner and our chef will be ensuring that he checks all meat thoroughly to prevent anything like this happening again. I just hope that once we are a bit more settled you will give us a second chance. I apologise again and wish you all the best. Stevie @ The Birdcage

It was ok but not the best Sunday roast I've ever had. I can tell it wasn't fresh food and table next to us had uncooked chicken. So kind of put me of my dinner.

Hi Becky, Thank you very much for taking the time to give us some feedback. We are disappointed and very sorry to hear that you were not happy with your meal and I completely understand how the experience of the table next to you would affect you. I wanted to reassure you that we have, with immediate effect, removed the chicken thigh from our roast dinners to ensure this does not happen again. Everything is still new to us so we appreciate the feedback and hope to use this to improve. I hope that when we are a bit more settled you will give us a second chance. Stevie @ The Birdcage
