    There were six of us and food was served without anyone waiting too long for the others to be served. Drinks were served quickly after ordering. A very enjoyable evening. The only downside was that there was no fish on the menu, only what was covered in batter which is a shame as there are many places to get fresh fish.

    The best Carvery I have had in a long time, three meats beef, pork and turkey. The beef is nice and pink, I understand that not everyone likes that but dont panic the turkey and pork and unbelievably moist and taste awesome. The owners and staff are so friendly and professional. The head chef introduce himself as he is the one carving the meat, veg and roast potatoes are incredible. The potatoes are sprinkled with rosemary and Garlic, not over powering but if you don't like that, then when booking, tell them in advance and they make you plain ones, nothing is too much trouble. Lobe the gravy, The desserts are lovely, good selection on drinks and all in just a beautiful pub/restaurant to be in, great value for money. Definitely going back!

    Food from ordering took over an hour to come out. When food arrived it was greasy fish and chips were hard and pie was hard to eat Bill was charged 15£ more as meal deal at 16.50 was purchased and they put through individually. Some would not of checked but asked for a full receipt.
