   Very disappointed with our visit last night, the waitress were inattentive, there doesn't seem to be any front of house directing the younger members of staff. Our table had christmas cracker rubbish on the floor which was not picked up during our stay there. Our drinks we had to ask twice for. The general service by the waiting staff was very lacking.

   Lovely setting, we seem to be making this an annual event! Food always amazing and service exceptional especially considering the staff serving us are quite young. Very polite and attentive.

   Very busy when we arrived and waited an hour for food to arrive. We were a table of 2 couples, the men ordered the pie which was found to be too salty and veg cold

   We went for festive afternoon tea for my step daughters 21st birthday. Food was great, lovely selection and perfect idea for Christmas. Staff were nice and friendly.

   Beautifully decorated for Christmas, spacious dining areas and polite staff. I would have given it five stars for everything had the food been a bit hotter! We all had carvery veg, which were nicely cooked, but only just warm. Nice selection and the Christmas menu is great and varied, but it was just not very hot. We had mince pies and coffee - the mince pies were lovely, but again would have been nicer if warm - or given the option of having them warm. Otherwise good, and we will certainly go back.

   Generally very good but today not so much. Service was very slow the place wasn't too busy but it took ages to get a drink never mind food which was prorderd. Let's say the staff need a little more motivation we arrived at 12.15pm and left after 3pm if you ask me too bloody long for lunch. Asked for dessert menu 20 mins later had to ask a member of staff if they were actually gonna ask if we were gonna order.

    We probably picked the wrong night to go as there were lots of large tables in for a meal so had to wait over an hour for our food. Service was very slow, no - one came to check if we wanted drinks and if we caught someone’s attention to order something, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. All 4 of our chairs were uncomfy, felt like the springs had gone Some of the meal was missing and they had run out of sauce for the salmon. That said the food we did have was good.
