    Great value for money, really enjoyed the food and service was attentive. Good selection and drinks. Weather was good so we had the opportunity to enjoy the beer garden. Great little spot for the children to play. Main menu is turkish cuisine with pub classics. Sunday lunch was very good.

    Disappointed that new Mediterranean menu wasn't available and quite a lot of options scored off the Turkish menu. Meals, whilst tasty we're not of the same quality as we've previously enjoyed. There was just something missing in flavours. I now understand that the usual chef wasn't at work yesterday due to an emergency. This probably explains the noticeable difference

    Had the three course Sunday special and couldn’t fault the food at all. Generous portions and very good value for money.

    We were a party of 8 adults and 2 babies. We were greeted by friendly and helpful staff. There was plenty of choices on the menus, from pasta dishes, pub classics and Turkish meals. Our Turkish choices were absolutely delicious and would definitely choose those again. Beautifully presented too. Service throughout was attentive to see to our needs. Will definitely be back. Thank you to all as we had a lovely family meal.

    Took my wife for Sunday lunch at 0ne oclock.Sadly the place was empty so no atmosphere. The food was warm at best . A huge pile of Cauliflower cheese dominated the plate . One large roast potato Two carrots and 2 bits of broccoli. Little bit of crushed potatoes and a large overdone Yorkshire pud..Not a great occasion and afraid won't be back for Sunday lunch
