"No complaints from food taste, all delicious and enjoyed. Not great service. Table of 8. 4 ordered starters, 2 random mains came before any starters. Bread rolls came 15 mins before the soup. Another 15 mins for the remaining 3 starters. No kids choices on the menu, 3 kids had to order full price roast dinners. 30 mins later, while at the bar, we noticed the kids' menus that weren't brought over..."

"Sunday Dinner's are a DELIGHT!
Service was almost instantaneous! And the size of the roasts were incredible! Better work up an appetite if you want a full sized roast, but a smaller option is available for a cheaper price.
For those with a sweet tooth, you won't be let down. The desserts here are remarkable. Following my colossal Roast Turkey dinner, I opted for the Raspberry Crumble Tiramassu. Heaven. So light and so tasty, would highly recommend. And if you can't eat at the restaurant, fear not! Simply ask for a takeaway box and enjoy at home!
The interior is beautiful, lovely decorations and wall art. Staff were very polite and friendly, and drinks were good too.
I will definitely be returning!"
