    Good pub food, reasonably priced, good atmosphere, very good service. I had the sea bass filet special on crab mash in a beautiful creamy sauce, it was excellent. Will visit again.

    Food was great for 3 out of 4 diners. But the linguine wasn’t hot. I didn’t complain as we were in a party of 4 and didn’t want delays to my meal.

    Only given main menu was nt highlighted to Sunday Lunch! When I mentioned this, waitress replied well it is Sunday! Sorry not all places offer Sunday lunch on a Sunday! Ordered Chicken curry, mainly because it should have come with Popadom, no Popadom came with meal, when I finally could get the waitresses attention, to see where Popadom was, was told 'oh we dont have any left, did nt they tell you! Well no! Was offered a 2nd naan bread which I took, but left most of it, as not enough curry for a dry Naan! Sorry not a great experience!
