We enjoyed our anniversary lunch, it was quiet in the area of the pub we were in despite other parties going on. The young ladies that served us were all very pleasant and attentive. The food was very good, the menu had lots of choice. Nice to see a vegan dessert that wasn’t just sorbet or chocolate. Overall we really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere .

Food was average and not worth the cost. Schnitzel was not a schnitzel and it was over cooked.

Best meal we have had for some time. If they keep up this standard then it will be the best local restaurant.

This used to be super busy sadly it was quite quiet for a Saturday evening The calamari was so salty that we both had to peel the coating off and the schnitzel was dry. Disappointed as I used to love the food here

Excellent food and service. This is the second time we've been for a sunday roast and both times it's been great. Good portions of high quality food, good service and a nice atmosphere. Even at peak sunday roast time (2pm) it wasn't too busy or loud, highly recommend.
