    Great food. Staff friendly and attentive. The refurbishment of the Robin Hood has made for a much nicer ambience.

    I booked a table a while ago to have Sunday lunch for three people. We arrived early but the table was already set up so we could sit down straight away. The problem was we had a table big enough for two, with three of us it was not very comfortable. Also it was very close to the door so we had people coming in and out thus making it draughty. I asked the waitress if we could move to an empty table but i was told that table would be in use soon. We decided to stay and make the best of it. We all ordered the Sunday roast and the only little niggle was the gravy was a bit too runny for our liking. The food though was DELICIUOS! Overall the value was good and we would happily go back, but not sit at that table again.
