    We had a lovely meal here last night. The food was good quality, the noise levels quiet which was ideal. The stand out part of the evening though was the service - the staff were very friendly and attentive and made sure our evening was great. Thank you for a lovely meal and experience.

    Started with the cured salmon, was amazing, high quality cured salmon that they didn’t have to over prepare. I had the lamb chops and wife had Sea Bass. Lamb chops were probably the best prepared lamb chops I’ve had in years, and it’s something I order regularly, wife agreed. And her Seabass was great, she would only share a small bite.

    The food was good und the service fine. But!! One thing made this experience rather negative. I ordered fish and chips und it came on a plate with some kind of "paper" sheet. The purpose of that sheet is unknown because it doesn't take the excess oil or fat (what would be logical with the dish). The paper sheet was covered with plastic! Probably polyethylene. And as a result of cutting on it it becomes worn and you eat peaces of plastic with your food!! But you realise it only at the end... As a person who's studying medicine I can definitely say it is not healthy to eat plastic!!

    We had booked in advance and were looking forward to our visit. We were greeted and shown to our table, the service was very attentive and cannot be faulted. Two of our party ordered fish and chips, when the order arrived both fish were very over done, close to burnt! We brought this to the staffs attention, the main person at first claiming this was down to a 'change of cooking oil!' They were sent back which meant some of us were eating while others waited for there food. All in all staff are good, the chef should not have sent out burnt food and no reimbursement was offered.

    We booked and received confirmation of the fact that we needed Wheelchair access for 7 people and had a cancellation at the last minute We phoned to adjust the reservation and we were told that they had no reservation for us So I sent them a copy of the reservation and then they told me that they were not wheelchair accessible and did not have the reservation so they could not help us And had no options for us

    Quiet on a Sunday afternoon but the staff were helpful. The tea arrived but wasn't terribly hot and once that finished there was no second pot. The staff did bring extra hot water on request but again it wasn't terribly hot. The sandwiches, scones and cakes were adequate but the scones were small. The tea overall was adequate but I won't be going back.
