    Best roast we’ve had in a long time! Excellent selection of meat and veg and plenty of it. Not the cheapest but you definitely get what you pay for. Busy but food was not long in coming out. 😀

    I have been here many times with friends and always had a positive experience. I have recommended to many of my friends and work colleagues. This time however, it was not as good. It wasn't overly busy, yet we waited over 45 minutes for our food orders to arrive. The food was excellent once it arrived. However, when we received our bill the drinks had not been included. So a further bill was provided including the drinks. There was then a technical issue with their payment machine, which eventually was resolved. Overall, not as good as previously and a little disappointing for my two friends who were new visitors.

    Service was excellent! Alaxandra knew the beers perfectly and provided my father with a great choice. They were a very friendly and kind server. The food was excellent. Veg was cooked to perfection and the lamb was so well seasoned. Will definitely be back when we are next in the area. Thank you team :)
