   Sadly after high expectations and a planned festive get together for lunch with friends our visit was not one to e repeated. Having ordered 4 of the Turkey with 'all' the trimmings meals to be followed by desserts it all went downhill when the meals arrived. Quite simply the meals were a very very poor example of a Christmas lunch - from a cold plates to cool poor quality food. The dauphinoise potatoes sadly had more in common with a hash brown, the turkey (should be the star on the plate) was far too uniform and cold, the tiny amount of so-called chestnut stuffing hidden was simply a puree and texture and not pleasant at all. The occasion was simply ruined, meals and drinks unfinished and certainly no dessert ordered. The only redeeming feature was that the staff were both polite and understanding in dealing with this unfortunate not to be repeated event and I was appreciative of that. The highlight of the afternoon was that we were able to get a table at Cheerbrooks cafe which is consistently superb serving quite simply the most delicious scones, clotted cream with raspberry jam.

   It was the first time we had been seated in the section closest to the car park and we found it perfectly fine, having been satisfied wherever we'd previously been seated. There were four of us, we were all happy with our choices and they lived up to expectations when they arrived. The service was attentive, though we had to go up to the bar ourselves when we were ready to pay.

   What a gem! This restaurant not only ticked every box but wrapped it up with a big, friendly bow. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like old friends—think warm smiles and genuine chats that are rare these days. The food? Outstanding! Each dish was a little masterpiece, bursting with flavour, and the portions were generous enough to make even the hungriest diners happy. The best part? The bill was the nicest surprise of all. I’d almost brought out my calculator, expecting a hefty price tag, but this place gives you gourmet quality without the scary maths. Great food, fabulous value, and a team who clearly love what they do—what more could you ask for?

   Wow Tracy, thank you so much for this review. I have to say as the Operations Director you actually bought a little tear to my eye. The hospitality industry is tougher than I have ever known it and we are always pushing and striving to be the best we can be but it is 100% reliant on the people you have around you and their passion to deliver - your review pushes us on, knowing that we are achieving our goals. Everything we do is about customer experience and to share this feedback with my team has made me so proud - thankyou! Regards Sian

    The Sunday lunch veg and Yorkshire pudding were very nice but the lamb was terrible
