    We were a large group of 30 so a challenge for any venue. The ordering process was straightforward and the staff were very welcoming and helpful. The venue was beautifully decorated and the service was great at all times. The food was well presented and enjoyed by most. Settling the bill was straightforward.

    Customer service was terrible. When we arrived no proper greeting, waitress barely gave eye contact, no one checking was our meal ok, just didn’t feel looked after. We had to ask for the dessert as was forgotten after having a break from the main. Had to ask for beer to be filled properly in the glass as only 3/4 filled! No serviettes on the table so had to ask. Food overall was ok, but piled on the plate. Maybe vegetables could be served separately. Bar area empty afterwards so no atmosphere at all. Definitely need to sort out customer service training !!

    Good pub food, reasonably priced, good atmosphere, very good service. I had the sea bass filet special on crab mash in a beautiful creamy sauce, it was excellent. Will visit again.
