"We visited as a party of 9, which included 3 children, 2 of which have special needs. The tone for how fantastic our visit would be was set when 2 of the party arrived first and requested the kids get to order first so their food could come out first, and they couldn't have been more accommodating. Ashleigh (or perhaps Ashley, we didn't check!) was incredible - she made sure the kids' food came out asap, and they were eating within minutes of our arrival. We're very grateful to her for her fantastic service.

The adults' food also didn't take too long, and whilst my own plate was a substantial portion (I opted to 'go large' on the roast!), it was delicious so I did actually finish it all. The veg wasn't overcooked, which is often an issue with Sunday roasts. The meats (you get all 3 if you go large) were nicely cooked, and the Yorkshire puddings were clearly homemade from their differing shapes - none of that picture perfect out of a packet lark.
The rest of the group had only compliments for their own food, and the sticky toffee pudding is particularly recommended as a dessert.

The overall atmosphere was pleasant, warm, and comfortable, and the bathrooms were clean and tidy. If we're in the area again, we'd certainly know where to stop for food."

"Not what it used to be. Four of us were seated on a very small table which are very close together. The menu is difficult to read on a green background. Feels more like a cafe menu. Two sided laminated.

The food was expensive but was nice and hot.

The service and clearing of the table was very slow. Two staff who spent more time chatting/whispering and standing behind the bar than serving. We asked for a dessert menu, 30 minutes later no one had come back to take the orders and we tried to get their attention but they were not actively checking tables or making eye contact. We left without ordering dessert. Will not be going back."

"Not been here for at least 6 months after a not very good Sunday roast, but we thought we would try it again. Sunday roast (beef) was excellent. Very tender, smothered in tasty gravy. Great veg and roast potatoes too. We commented as we paid the bill asking if they had a new chef as the food was much better than last time, and the waitress said they did indeed have a new chef who had started a few weeks ago. Only thing I could fault was that the apple crumble was too much apple and not enough crumble, but that's just personal preference."
