    The staff were very very very rude and when challenged for their rudeness and pointing of a finger in my face , was an awful experience. And being told “ you ordered the food you will have to eat it”?The food wasn’t great . The young boy who asked if we wanted a drink , should listen . When I asked for 1/2 a coke he replied “ want a pint” no was the answer. When my friend asked for a small lime and soda he replied “want a pint” why would 2 ladies over 60 want a pint !!!!!

    We had made notes on our diary about the rude and vile nature of these guests. To honest we should have rejected the booking but gave them the benefit of the doubt. In fact this was the third occasion these people had exhibited bad behaviour in the restaurant. Never ever ever ever have one of our staff had to suffer such rudness and bad manors. If you come to our restaurant and see our previous reviews you will know this bad review is absolute nonsene and know what type of people these are. Never ever ever ever welcome back. I pity any restaurant that has to suffer these people in the future.

    Great evening as ever, food was delicious, swordfish was in the menu tonight and was cooked beautifully! Great service from our lovely waitress and the atmosphere was buzzing later on ( we went early doors as it was a last minute booking) so lucky this is my local!

    Had Sunday lunch today at holy bush nice pub but thought the lamb was a bit chewy and a lot of grisly meat could be better.

    Took the old dear down for a nice, quiet, early Mother’s Day dinner and she loved it. Nice big food portions, tasted great and relaxing atmosphere
