   One or two should be pointed out. We ordered a bottle of wine which was brought on the table with only one glass and left with us unopened. Fortunately it was a screw top so I could see to that myself. The 'Yorkshire pudding' starter was clearly a factory made 'Batter Pudding' from the freezer (not good) but the gravy was superb. The Prawn Cocktail was excellent but a little short on the Mare Rose Sauce. The main course pork was good my wife's pie looks to be a Commercially made one from the freezer but she said it was very good. However the Broccoli (proper sprouting Broccoli by the way) and Cauliflower were under cooked. Now I like my vegetables Al Dente but I like them cooked enough to be cut with the table cutlery supplied.

   We had a birthday lunch for four on a Monday. The food was good and the service excellent. sadly we were the only customers - don’t understand why this place is not busier.

   Menu not as advertised on web site - staff explained that a limited kitchen was operating - surely this should have been advertised on the site. Found the restaurant to be scruffy and seemed to be an ‘afterthought’ tucked away in a corner - lovely characterful room but tables were not laid, some had dirty plates etc not cleared and nothing welcoming ie: candles/flowers or nice lighting. Food was ok but very slow to arrive - not a great choice and 1 order was wrong when it arrived. No fault of staff - they are doing their best with what they have to work with and were cheerful and engaging. Had drinks in the bar before our meal which was lovely but the restaurant experience let down our evening - was my husband’s 60th birthday (which the restaurant were aware of) and no mention of this or a simple special touch which we thought would have made a big difference. Shall not be using this restaurant again!

   I would imagine our experience would have been lovely if they had honoured our booking... Turned up on time looking forward to a nice Sunday lunch to be told the chef has decided he's not opening the kitchen until 5pm... Our booking was for 2pm....in there defence I had missed a call from reception the day before obviously cancelling my booking... Would just like to point out that I had travelled from Lincoln to take a friend out for her birthday who lived in mosborough...... Never fear though the phoenix at ridgeway saved the day and was packed to the rafters with an obviously open kitchen.....thankyou the phoenix at ridgeway for saving the day on a very busy bank holiday Sunday 👌

   Our booking was for a Thursday evening. We were informed on the day of our booking that the restaurant was closed due to there being no gas for cooking in the kitchen. However we could dine from the bar menu. We did this and the food was far from satisfactory. The vegetables that came with the fish pie (kale and carrots) were dry and unappetising. The other dishes that were chosen were disappointing. I got the impression that everything had been microwaved. The staff were helpful in as much as they deducted 10% from our food bill. However we will be very unlikely to bother dining here again. The whole experience was very disappointing

   An amazing lunch and as we came midweek during the day it was practically empty. Service was great, server was polite and friendly. Drinks and food were excellent. Will be going again.
