    Trinkgeld wird mit 10£ extra berechnet das steht nirgendwo. Tisch trotz Reservierung am Klo . Toiletten sehr versifft. Die positiven Bewertungen sind nicht nachzuvollziehen

    The best roast. We had the beef roast and the vegan one. Both great. Vegan gravy goes well with the beef. Staff were very friendly and super accommodating.

    Booked a seat and was told to leave our seat 10 minutes before the end of the booking because the next people were waiting. Agreed, stood up to watch the end of the rugby and no one arrived. For future it would be good to ask people to leave their seat when the next booking arrives, not in anticipation for a group that never arrives.

    The food and service was absolutely fabulous. We had the sharing Sunday lunch and it was the best Sunday lunch we have had. The beef was soooo delicious and perfectly cooked, proper Yorkshire puds and exactly the right amount of everything. The sharing crumble pudding was a bonus and absolutely delicious too. Went off into a very happy food coma afterwards! Staff all super helpful and really friendly. Would highly recommend but need to book.

    We didn’t actually eat, but had another very enjoyable afternoon watching the rugby. All of the staff that dealt with us were excellent - very friendly and very helpful and attentive.

    Service was very slow. Understand it was busy but lots of servers walking around. No checking in to see if we needed anything. First round of drinks took nearly 30 mins to get to us. Sharing roast was good, individual roast had no roast potatoes but by the time we found someone to tell it would have been freezing cold so we went without. Wouldn't try again.
