   Lovely Mothers Day meal - portions were very generous and despite best efforts couldn’t finish everything! The roast beef was fantastic and particular highlight was the cauliflower cheese puree. All mums were given a gift bag of flowers and a card which was really thoughtful. Staff were friendly and polite on what is a very busy and stressful day for all restaurants. Will definitely be back.

   Great service and good food on what was a very busy Mother’s Day service - nice touch with the gift bags for the mums.

   Food was nice enough and service was friendly and good but portions were small and quite overpriced. It was almost empty on a Friday night and I suspect the pricing may have something to do with it.

   Fabulous, as always. Quality food, friendly staff and lovely ambience. Drinks served in front of an open fire before being taken to our table.

   Disappointing! £113 spend for a two course lunch with bottled water and soft drinks was not value for money. Lovely setting, friendly service (although waitress changed half way through the meal with no explanation). Food wasn’t great. Fish cake was more a soggy potato cake with a runny dressing, french onion soup was average. Roast chicken was tough and sausages were obviously left over from breakfast service as very rubbery. There was a bitter gravy that I tried to avoid. Burger was delicious but no chips included so charged extra for these. Altogether disappointing experience, very overpriced - no wonder it was empty!

   Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're surprised to hear about your disappointing experience, especially as we are usually extremely busy every Sunday, often doing over 150 covers. It's unfortunate that we didn't meet your expectations on this occasion, and we're genuinely sorry to hear that. We always strive to offer high-quality food and service, and it's disheartening to hear that we missed the mark during your visit. We truly hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future. We'd love to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience. Many thanks, Mac Osborne. Manager.

   Once again the team looked after us very well the wood was fantastic. Really enjoyed the scotch egg and salad. First time having that as I normally go for the duck. Lovely little touch being giving a card for our 20 year anniversary. Small but personal touches like that are what make the cheques a perfect place for us.

    My previous review said best steak ever. On this occasion I ordered exactly the same and asked for well done and no redness to the steak atall. It was cooked ok on the outside but very red with blood still showing on the inside. Everything else was good . At these prices like the money I paid was perfect I would expect the food to be perfect. Saying that though ,this is a lovely place and everything else was good
