    Took my wife for Sunday lunch at 0ne oclock.Sadly the place was empty so no atmosphere. The food was warm at best . A huge pile of Cauliflower cheese dominated the plate . One large roast potato Two carrots and 2 bits of broccoli. Little bit of crushed potatoes and a large overdone Yorkshire pud..Not a great occasion and afraid won't be back for Sunday lunch

    This was our fourth visit and we have consistently enjoyed great food. The staff are always attentive, but not pushy, and we always make plans to return.
