    We chose to take my Father in law here for his 90th Birthday, and I am do pleased that we did. Such a lovely setting. Not too busy, and the food was lovely. We all ordered different meals, but all were served together. We really enjoyed our evening.

    We had amazing food and service, it was just the people. Behind us were extremely vocal and not necessarily considerate of our children. However, the food was great, service great, thanks you for having us! (Just bar the Bestwood guy next time) 🥳 Thank again guys x

    Friendly and efficient service. The food arrived promptly, it was piping hot and the portions were very generous. Most of it was excellent, but the roast potatoes were a bit under done for my liking, as were the parsnips which were very difficult to cut and hard to chew. Next time I would ask them to leave off the parsnips. I had the trio of roasts and the meats were very good, especially the pork belly and chicken.
