"Decent pub food with good portion, the steaks were nicely cooked and the sides were delicious. The price was a little bit pricey tho. Overall, everything here was alright."

"Disappointed children.
We have been a few times for breakfast and our kids love to have a warmed up chocolate croissant. This time however the microwave was condemned and not in use. We will not be back as it seems the colleague wasn't too bothered about losing the microwave and did not assure us there would be a replacement microwave."
