We had a dinner booked for 7.30pm they were running late with service but I have to say we hardly noticed the pub had an amazing atmosphere the staff are very attentive and apologetic, they took a drinks round off the bill for the long wait. The food was amazing I had the monk fish tail and my husband had the pork loin absolutely delicious. You must try the beef fat popcorn omg it’s very tasty they should sell bags of this loved it. We will definitely e back can’t wait to sample the Sunday dinner.

Lovely lunch here today. Some of us had starters as mains, others had the classic fishcake. All delicious and we shared the chocolate bomb to finish. Our waiter was great and as usual all the staff were welcoming and friendly. We miss Jean Francois though! Will be back soon

The booking experience was very good. All staff were extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We were left in peace to talk even though we had gone over our allotted time. This was much appreciated. The food was served very quickly and was very tasty. As a dining experience it was most enjoyable. Thank you.
