    Menu abit limited at the moment and both of us didn’t rate our desserts highly. We both left half as actually didn’t taste very nice which was such a shame. The pigeon was extremely rare, but seeing as I don’t eat pigeon often wasn’t sure if this was how it was supposed to be cooked. I usually have a rare steak so not put off from this, but this was charred on the outside and raw on the inside. Main options limited, their old menu was better.

    The food was good although it could have been warmer. The service was excellent. It was a bit noisy but I accept that this is probably part and parcel of a Sunday lunchtime and I perhaps should have asked for a quieter table at the time of booking which I will do next time. It was impossible to find a parking space in the car park but I discovered a public one not far away so this was fine in the end.

    Excellent Sunday roast - quality cuts of meat and great sides (which are “bottomless”). Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Highly recommended.
