The venue is lovely really pretty at Christmas but omg the food is poor. For £50 pp set menu the amount of food is really lacking. I ordered the duck starter which was just 4 slices of cold duck, needed a salad or something. The main I had was chicken schnitzel which was bland but the carrots and beans that came as a side was nice, dessert was 3 cheap donut balls and sauce- for £30pp okay, but £50? That’s wild. £58 if you include the service charge Also my colleague ordered a bubblegum cocktail which was meant to have gin and amaretto, and it came in a Prosecco glass- thick and creamy white liquid that had a dried strawberry floating in the middle. It was bad and weird.

Broad drinks menu and varied food menu, from small bites to full on roast dinner, something for everyone. Attentive, helpful staff. Great ambiance and a range of seating options that allow you to keep it casual or have a family get together. I had the roast turkey christmas style accompanied by chilli apple sauce, cauliflower cheese sauce and a giant yorkshire pudding, delicious.

I was concerned about the booking after reading some reviews but really didn’t need to worry. Visited on a Saturday evening - great ambience, excellent attentive service and delicious food! Can’t fault the place at all.
