   First time visiting, had Sunday menu. Staff very polite and pleasant but once mains had been cleared we had to ask of dessert menu after waiting for about 10-15 mins.

   Received the most lovely welcome from a lady who commented on the humour used at my point of booking and was THEEEEE MOST ACCOMMODATING in finding us a table that matched my disabilities Food was simply delightful. Best roasted potatoes and creamed cabbage everrr. We enjoyed starters of mushrooms on sourdough (the chef changed the starter to accommodate my dislike of blue cheese) and my friend enjoyed the black pudding & bacon stack from the specials menu We both chose the mixed roast main course (chicken, beef & pork belly). We ordered extra cauliflower cheese and pigs in blankets (yes greedy but necessary). Too full for desserts but good choice available. A couple of coffees and x2 pints of soft drink each. £40 ish each Just book. You’ll love it !!!

   Great meal and service with a smile at a very reasonable price. It was Valentines Day, too.

   This was our first visit and won’t be our last. We eat out every Saturday and try to find new venues. The food was good and value for money. I had the prawn cocktail starter and it was fresh and packed with succulent prawns, my husband said his mushrooms were very tasty and hot which makes a pleasant change as some restaurants serve it warm. Both mains were good. My husband was delighted with his 2 pints of Wainwrights in traditional glasses with handles. The staff were pleasant, friendly and efficient. My only negatives were, (And I only highlight them because I feel this little gem of a place could be made even better) 1. Ensure children are not allowed to run wild in the restaurant, we were sat at the table near the steps to the toilets and 2 unruly boys were running around my husbands chair and the steps a lot. I noted the Manager did ask them to stop but it went unheeded. It does spoil a meal out for two when this happens. 2. Do ensure all waitresses know the menu as the lovely young lady had to go and ask twice when I asked her what the salmon dish was. 3. Do consider playing quieter music in the evening or perhaps a separate more “Bistro” area to attract couples. We will look forward to visiting again. I would recommend it!!!

   Fantastic staff. Great ambience. Food was good but overpriced. Disappointed that sauces were £2.50 extra with the grill options.

    This place has been “hit and miss” over the last few years, but is under new management so we wanted to give it another try. We are glad that we did. The service was really good and very attentive and the food was excellent too. We will be back!
