Very nice lunch- limited menu choices, but what we had (burgers, scampi and haddock) was very tasty, nice and hot. Boys loved the sticky toffee pudding. Service was excellent! Would recommend for sure.

It was quite empty but took a long time for our food to arrive . There was three of us and we ordered two Sunday dinner meals and a steak. Three Sunday dinners arrived after a 30 minute wait. There was a discussion about how long the steak meal would take but it was too long as the other two guests would have finished by the time it arrived. There was no follow up on drinks and we had to ask for things repeatedly. Ultimately disappointing. I have just seen that dogs are no longer welcome in the bar so we won’t return as it was the main/only reason we came to the bar/restaurant . Dog friendly was a unique advantage, without that there are better places to eat with better atmosphere. The dogs added to an offer full atmosphere .

Fantastic venue. The service was great from the minute we walked in. They were very attentive and friendly offering recommendations for the food. Food was great and a good value. I recommend the Meringue for dessert! They even put a candle in my daughters ice cream and sang happy birthday, she was over the moon. Thank you.

Gorgeous food and service. The children loved the fondue and I was able to convince myself it was a healthy dessert as there was loads of fruit!!

On arrival as you enter you are greeted with the smell of wet dog which really wasnt great!!! Food was average and the wine was the best bit of it all. Unfortunately we won’t be back any time soon.
