    There was 14 of us precooked. The staff were very friendly especially Joely who looked after us really well. Everyone enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We have rebooked for next month

    Never eaten there before we booked our Christmas meal. Food was delicious, timings between courses were good, food was served very hot and good portion sizes. Staff were very polite and friendly. My only niggle was the cheese board I ordered - I was expecting cheese , crackers , grapes but got baked camember and more bread . That being said we will definitely eat there again .

    Service and staff were really nice. The outdoor area is tired and worn. Food (Sunday roast) wasn't great, seemed it was warmed up and not fresh. It wasn't very hot, just warm. Not sure I would eat here again.
