    Great atmosphere and very relaxed dining. Food was very tasty and plenty of it. However, meal was not served particularly hot and on occasions service wasn't very prompt.

    Steak was cooked as requested, but very resilient. Butcher should be advised. Service excellent.

    Food was delicious, really hot and lots of it. Not long to wait and service was really good, lovely girl. Checked throughout the meal if all was ok by various staff. Unfortunately our table was next to the door and every time it open it was so draughty and cold; next visit will make sure seated elsewhere. Good value and loads of choice and will definitely return.
