   Fab Subday dinner, good size portion of hot food. Good choice of vegetables and plenty of gravy. I had chicken and the hubby had belly pork - both very tender. Service from Charlie was spot on, friendly, welcoming and attentive.

   Food was just ok, despite looking lovely on fb postswhich is was lead us to try yhis place. Waited almost 1 hour for food. Need dedicated staff to service the eating area as they all focused on the bar area. No hot water in toilet area so had to was hands with cold water supply

   It’s such a shame you had this experience as it is not what we strive to achieve. We never want our customers to leave dissatisfied, never mind let down. Would you kindly send us an e-mail as I am concerned that 2pm on a Friday we had this issue. We did have an issue with the pressure on the boiler the week you visited, so hopefully this will have been a one off.

   Thank you for such a lovely review, It’s very rewarding when we have customers who have loved their visit and see the hard work myself and all the staff put in on a daily basis. I will pass along your comments to the team who I am sure will be very appreciative! We hope to see you again soon.
