   Despite me having a dinner reservation the waitress at the ‘wait to be seated’ point showed me to a table in the bar area, not the restaurant. She told me they’re very busy, but when I offered to show her my booking confirmation she said “you’ll be fine here.” I then had to go looking for her to place my food order! The service was rushed and when I asked for 5 minutes to decide if I wanted dessert, she never came back. I took the £25 dinner offer but only spent £24 (due to very limited menu: no steak option), so if you’re not particularly hungry, don’t bother.

   There was a wedding on when we booked for valentines night, waited about 50 minutes for the food to come out, the Hotdog my daughter had was disgusting she never ate any of her meal, ordered her ice-cream which arrived quicker than the meal but with no spoon, there was a special deal on for valentines so the price for the 3 of us was reasonable and the atmosphere was OK

   We looked online at menu We thought that looks great but we were surprised my a whole different menu when we arrived For what we paid £91.20 wasn't worth it

   The online menu had more choices than the actual menu. Some of the items were not available. The strawberry shortcake sundae was supposed to include fresh strawberries and shortcake, but was 3 scoops of ice cream and some whipped cream. Food was good, just a little disappointing In reality.

   First time I’ve eaten here on a Sunday. It was ok. I eat out a lot and was underwhelmed apart from the apple cinnamon desert we got to go. It was outstanding.

   We were met with friendly staff, didn't take long to be seared and our food order to be taken. We had booked the table as we had another event to ho to. The food arrived in time but the macaroni could have been hotter and it came with side salad which isn't jettisoned on the menu. The cheeseburger came with lettuce, sidesalad and coleslaw which isn't mentioned on the menu either. Then the service went downhill after that as a coach party arrived and the staff couldn't cope. It took them along time to come ask about sweets and they had thought we had already ordered them but no-one had asked as they had run out of menus. Disappointing end to a good meal.

   Ordered a pizza as it was £10 Wednesday but had to pay £13.00 as requested 3 toppings which, to me, meant £10 was just for the base.

    We enjoyed our first Sunday lunch in Whitburn. Nice amount of potatoes and gravy! We will definitely return.
