    Unfortunately the food last night wasn’t up to scratch as usually served. The Fish Pie was half the size it usually comes, no seafood in it and a bowl of cabbage served to compensate for the half size Fish Pie. Far too expensive at £18.95. Sadly the Superfood Salad did not come with the ingredients it was advertised as, a small portion for £16, however , the Staff responded very positively and waived the charge for it. A one off disappointment won’t stop us returning. Atmosphere was lovely and relaxed again, but music needs to be better. 80’s tracks are rather dated. Thank you to the lovely Team working at The Joiners

    We felt that the service was a bit haphazard. Our main course arrived while we were still finishing our nibbles. Although the staff were friendly and polite they didn't seem very organised. The food was also a bit disappointing and not exactly what was on the menu. Salad instead of samphire with the fish pie which was more like a salmon pie - very little other fish and no prawns. Quite pricey for ordinary standard food

    We had a really nice meal, served by a wonderful host. It was a shame we were the only people in for a while, added to during the meal as a few came to the bar for a pint or two, so ambiance a little lacking. Timing, we guess, as it was a late lunch. Won’t put us off going back as it’s always welcoming and food never disappoints so either later this holiday or next time we’re up, for sure.
