    Excellent service, with good music and live singing. Pudding took a little time to come out. But food was hot and delicious!

    Booked a meal for our family of 6 including 2 children. The kitchen were very accommodating for my daughter which was great as she wanted a starter so they did her a half portion from the adult menu. Atmosphere was lovely with the jazz singer. All the food was great. The turkey roast was massive great value for money. Staff were really nice and attentive. Thanks for a great experience

    Monday lunchtime the food was very ordinary and menu rarely changes. Should be a destination restaurant as it all looks fairly glamorous. Good service
