    There was live music which was good ,we were far enough away for it not to impede our conversation. Food was good and good value, we felt the service was a little slow, but waitresses were very pleasant.

    Had a lovely evening. Pleasant staff, very good service, nice surroundings. Only minor criticism salad with main meal was small and hardly any meringue in the meringue sundae but the rest of the food was excellent. Well worth a visit.

    The meal was to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary and it served us well. Easy to book, and later to confirm, on line. No waiting to be shown to our table, to be given menus and to take our drink requirements. It was a busy Friday evening but we didn't have too long to be served. There was a good choice of food, some dishes a little pricey compared to other pub restaurants, but the enjoyment of our meals didn't make this a concern. It was delicious! Service was excellent too and the stall were friendly and approachable. we shall dine there again
