    Staff were nice but the service was slow. Most of the food was great, one dish was over cooked.

    Excellent food and service. This is the second time we've been for a sunday roast and both times it's been great. Good portions of high quality food, good service and a nice atmosphere. Even at peak sunday roast time (2pm) it wasn't too busy or loud, highly recommend.

    Arrived for Sunday lunch / dinner , please be aware that If you arrive after 4.30 you may not have all options of Sunday roast available. I did get a roast and it was delicious and the portions very generous. My partner had pie and mash , also excellent. Service was friendly and helpful. Overall very happy with our experience and definitely recommend.
