    A great place to have lunch with family! The food is served quickly, and the prices are very reasonable. I ordered a senior-sized fish and chips for my mother, and the portion was much larger than expected. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

    Our family of 8 had dinner at The Flying horse, staff were very attentive regarding food allergies for my grand daughter. and my daughter disliking tomato in a meal. But.. we were very let down with waiting over 1 hour for 2 jelly desserts for the kids and an apple and rhubarb crumble that was served as an apple and blueberry crumble. We made requests to the service staff 4 times for the kids desserts. Overall happy with the service for the main but waited an excessive time for the desserts.

    Hi Sheryl, Thank you for your honest review, we will follow up the dessert issues with our team.

    Food (parma) was good, chips were a little burnt. Cocktails took forever to arrive 40ish minutes. We already had our meals. Margaritas were undrinkable, was more sour than the salt on the rim of glass. Waste of money and took way too long. Asked for mocktail margaritas to not have salt on rim as kids didn't want the salt. This was messed up several times.
