    Food very good and well presented.Staff friendly and attentive. Restaurant cold when we arrived just on opening and did not really warm up even with fire on. Would not prevent us going back.

    Food was excellent. But I was disappointed that the refurb had not included the toilets. One of the doors didn’t lock and they are generally in need of some TLC

    I thought the food was very overpriced for what you got and it was very noisy. I ordered a king prawn cocktail & got a few prawns on a bit lettuce plus rock hard bread. I had to ask for butter. The fish with my main course was lovely, the chips however seemed like the end of a bag of cheap frozen chips. There was loads of black bits, they were starchy and poor generally. I then ordered vanilla cheesecake that was meant to have salted caramel sauce (which it didn't). The cheesecake was stodgy & totally tasteless - it didn't even taste of vanilla. I don't think I'll be hurrying back.
