    Cold and uninviting restaurant room. The All Day menu whilst good doesn’t reflect the menus in this App. Staff great. Good food.

    Fantastic steak and ale pie, complimented by gorgeous creamy mash. Wife’s smoked fish chowder equally as delicious. Lovely staff too.

    The welcome by friendly staff and deliciously described menu choices were really good and the food was excellent. A little disappointed we couldn’t have the special crab soup but the rest was exceptional. The staff were so friendly and informed about the menu and history if the building. The whole experience perfect, so …. we booked for the following night and were told that whilst it was a traditional but special Sunday lunch menu all day, there would be special fish options, ie catch of the day, which is the only reason we booked. Sadly this was not the case! Sunday was very disappointing in many ways

    Fantastic evening, my choice, which was chicken Kiev as I don’t see many places that do it, so I was really looking forward to it, but they didn’t have any! I was gutted, but had to quickly order something else which was gnocchi with chicken & my partner ordered fish & chips…the food was spot on & the staff were very attentive & friendly…would definitely recommend eating here…bonus was it was about a minutes walk from where we were staying too :)

    There were plenty of tables for 2 available throughout the time we were eating yet the waitress sat us next to a table with two toddlers whose behaviour was out of control so a relaxed Sunday lunch was more like a visit to the soft play!! We came last whilst on holiday and the food was amazing, however we were disappointed this year, the roast potatoes were hard with tough skins not crispy, the carrots mushy and over cooked whilst the cabbage was tough and crunchy, the turnip was so watery it was runny, last year the veg came separate in dishes not all on the plate which was too overcrowded it was difficult to try and cut the meat and Yorkshire pudding whilst keeping everything else on the plate. I ordered toffee apple crumble and ice cream which came in two dishes, one would have made it much easier to eat, also the toffee part of the toffee apple was missing! Last year we got 4 pigs in blankets this year we were down to three at a cost of £5.50 extra! All in all after paying £4.30 for a pint of poor quality cola and an overall bill of £64 very disappointing afternoon, certainly won’t be back and to think we were considering booking up for a Christmas dinner and festive stay over, think we’ve dodged a bullet there.
