    Have always had good service and food here, today was not one of them unfortunately. I reserved a table by the window, there was no acknowledgement of that on arrival. Drinks were slow; when asked if we were ready to order, this was very rushed and abrupt with no smile, starter came with main course (which we were asked about and my son said yes to) but food took ages to come, and was warm, not really hot, it just didn't have the 'wow' factor like previous visits. One dessert of ice-cream was ordered which took about 30 mins to arrive, at just before 3pm. We arrived at 1pm. There was only one waitress that stood out today, with a smile, and she's the one who brought the bill. I did mention to her that the service wasn't at it's best today, (with her being an exception). Hopefully it was just a blip today, and next time will be good again.

    First visit, will defo call again. Food took a little time but that was because it was freshly cooked. Large portions and also had a pudding so now can barely move 😀. The young man behind the bar was very friendly, helpful and efficient.

    Really wanted to be able to give a good review - unfortunately our experience was very average. Despite not being overly busy we waited 45 mins for food ( with a 3 year old). When the food arrived it was incomplete - no baked beans and burger bun inedible due to being burnt The ‘dressed’ salad was literally a wedge of cos lettuce with bacon bits. The main meals were adequate but had obviously been sitting waiting for service as they were warm not hot. We didn’t stay for dessert and could not wait for authorisation of a refund for the child’s meal. What a shame , great venue but eating experience very below par. We will not return.

    Hi Claire,sorry your experience was not a good one,we will take your review on board and see where improvments need to be made. The jolly team
