   Have eaten from general menu several times but this time tried Sunday lunch. Really good and would not hesitate to have again.

   Because we couldn't get together for a meal before Christmas we opted to try The Old Boat House in January. Booking a table was easy and we were even given crackers as we said about our Christmas meal. We all enjoyed our meals and the service was quick, helpful and friendly. We will certainly go again

   The meal was good although the portion of chips on one plate was fairly small and the potato on the lamb shepherds pie did not cover the meat. The staff were distracted by taking down Christmas decorations and were probably less attentive than usual. However, they were cheerful and polite. The place is very nice and clean and the food tasted good . Satisfactory value for money .

   It got a little busy towards the end of out meal so the service was hit and miss . Had to order drinks at the bar and the pay the bill at the bar in the end . The quality of food was very disappointing as I have eaten here before . The burger was on the cool side as it it had been left under the hot light and the chips were reheats . I ordered additional portion to see if they were any better and after waiting 15 minutes they again came out as reheats . Very disappointed
