Was in for lunch with 4 friends, booked for 1pm. It wasn't overly busy however we did wait awhile for our food order to be taken. When our drinks order was taken one friend sked the male server what came with the pate (I.e toast or oatcakes) was told that it was a new menu and e would go ask, somw 15 mins later we called someone another member of staff if we could order, the female server was asked what came with the pate but we got same reply, they did go and ask and advise that it was toast. One friend asked for long vodka (without the vodka) it came back with tonic and with a very small dashboard of lime cordial no bitter lime so it was rreturned. Ther server them came back to advise that there was no more lime cordial. We settled for lemonade and bitter. The food itself was lovely but the sevice was not the best on this occasion.

Quite surprised as have eaten several times but vegetables and potatoes were lukewarm at best. Also had to approach staff for dessert menus. We had invited another couple last night and had enthused how great it was left feeling rather let down. Main waitress that served us was superb but when she was busy elsewhere felt other staff were disinterested.

It’s disappointing that the food temperature and service fell short, and we sincerely apologize for letting you and your guests down. We’d love to make this right—please contact me directly at [contact info], so we can welcome you back and provide the experience you deserve. Warm regards, Jamie

The burger was very greasy, cheese oily and this mixed in with the sauce and tomatoes made the buns saturated. I asked for bacon to be well done and it was very fatty and undercooked. The waitress also mentioned the burgers took a bit longer because the first ones to come up from the kitchen were undercooked. The waitress kindly brought me a new burger but I was so put off I couldn’t eat it. I don’t think the buns are good enough quality or big enough to contain the 2 burgers and everything in it. No issues with service but very disappointed with the food.

Dear Jane, Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m very sorry to hear that your burger didn’t meet expectations and that the issues with its preparation left you unable to enjoy your meal. While I’m glad to hear the service met your standards, it’s clear we fell short with the food quality, and I sincerely apologize for that. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll address these concerns with our kitchen team to ensure improvements are made. Kind regards, Jamie

My fish and chips, a basic meal for a restaurant was poor. The fish batter was oily and undercooked and the chips, once returned were both warm.

Lovely- my only quibble is that we had hoped for the boozy brunch, and didn’t realise that we had to book in advance. It should be made more obvious on the website. Otherwise lovely ambience and service, I’ve been many times and will come back.
