    Lovely evening. The lady that looked after us was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. The food was lovely. The whole team were very welcoming. Nice to see so many smiling team members. January can be tough in hospitality. Well done all of you.

    I have nothing but great things to say. We were a large party with all the variables - 7 adults, a toddler (high chair) a young baby and a well behaved dog. We were taken care of in an exemplary manner placing of the table close but not too close to the facilities for baby changing, without asking provided with a water bowl for the dog. Drink and food service was excellent and great value for money. We probably stayed longer than most but were never once challenged about overstaying our welcome. Staff ambience , service and value for money -if we can well be back

    Decent pub food but the mark up on wine is exorbitant. Prices are 3X retail value which is completely excessive. Shame this restaurant has ruined a lovely location by trying to fleece customers
