    Overall, we had an enjoyable experience for my partner's 60th birthday. The food was very good and great value for money. It was a busy evening in the lead up to Christmas with a few big parties, and some of the staff did appear to be a bit stressed. We noticed that other tables were given bread, but we were not. When we enquired to the waitress, we were informed there was none left. This was a pity as we had some lovely sauce to mop up. We noticed that other tables still received bread and when we enquired further we got some lovely home-made bread. A small thing perhaps. Some staff were competent, even if a bit pushed, while it seemed that others would benefit from further training. There was nothing major however and we had a pleasant evening.

    We came here a year ago this week for Sunday lunch and have had a better one since. Our meal today was superb: perfectly cooked medium/rare, well hung with so many veg & trimmings. Absolutely delighted and a real treat.
