    Lovely pub/restaurant. Not too big, so the atmosphere was very cosy and welcoming. We had a Sunday roasts which were amazing. The food and service were excellent. Will definitely be returning.

    Had a lovely lunch here. Nice place but didn’t like that there was a baby making some noise however the family left after about 15 mins. Thought inappropriate for a staff member to be hoovering around where the baby had been -didn’t apologise to diners & there were several but was mainly in our earshot. Can understand the need to tidy the area but would have been prudent to notify customers as a matter of courtesy-I’d expect it in McDonald’s but not Lesters. Also think the rearranging tables right by where we were eating wasn’t appropriate Food was very good and a menu that was a bit different I had a vegetable filled pithivier -very tasty My husband had the beef which he said was very good. Cost was reasonable Service excellent Would definitely recommend & hopefully visit again

    Ordered cod and chips, no taste to the fish and turned to mush like frozen fish defrosted. Fatty rack of lamb. Was almost charged for a bottle of wine we did not have.
