    First return for a couple of years, the whole experience was good, we were greeted by pleasant member of staff who directed us to available tables, service and communication was excellent. The food arrived nicely presented and hot. Just one small criticism, the background music was slightly too loud for us. Apart from that we would return. Well done to all.

    Great venue. Window seats available if preferred. Nice welcome by member of staff. Three choices of meat, pork really good and tender. Could have different meats on plate if wanted. Good assortment of vegetables, stuffing, Yorkshire pud, pigs in blankets for a small extra charge. Hot gravy, plentiful. Highly recommended.

    Ordered sea bass with risotto. But they couldn't serve risotto so offered salad, which was a bag of leaves with 2 slices of red onion and a slice of cucumber and some dressing. Which was very nice but definitely not worth the £17+, they charged. And no offer of discount or something extra Service was good, could have smiled a bit more My partner had burger and onion rings. Which was great, I pinched couple of onions and made great crispy croutons
