   We had a well behaved dog and were made to feel welcome. Service was timely and the food was very good. Staff were friendly and attentive.

   Our starters were very large overall but could have done with a bit more toast with the pate. Main course was exception more than enough to satisfy the biggest appetite. Only the children had desert but there were clean plates so that too was a hit. Service was a little slow with clearing away empty glasses and bottles but overall very lovely time was had by all

   Really super meal, lovely food and great staff, not rushed at all. The lamb could have had more vegetables with it instead of just the red cabbage, but overall lovely meal.

   Hi lee, Did you bring any of this information to your server at the time as we have had zero complaints noted?? Im very sorry the food and service was not to your standard but again was anything noted with any server as this would have been rectified right away and put right. Again very sorry for your poor visit

    We are regular visitors to the Golden Ball but our recent visit fell below the usual standard in terms of food quality and overall service.
