The staff were very good but let down by the kitchen. Although we had complimentary drinks at the end of the meal to apologise, a mouse ran through the centre of the restaurant around the time we decided to leave.

The menu was limited, not a good option for families. I had a salad, it was fresh, but small for an entree. My husband had the burger which he described as passable. Overall, the food did not live up to the atmosphere of the restaurant.

One guest got so fed up trying to communicate with staff he settled for black coffee. Food was ordinary in the extreme, eggs either overcooked or baked in the microwave, toast was cheap white slice barely browned and not buttered. The smoked salmon was the star of the plate but only when measured against such a poor breakfast. A place to avoid.
