    Great for children. Food much better than in the past and fun stuff like getting the children’s drinks in mini milk bottles.

    The only problem was that we expected a Sunday roast but were advised that they had run out over an hour earlier than our booking time. We were obviously disappointed but ordered alternatives which were very good. I think it should be made clear that if you want a roast then you should be sure to order on advance but I can't help thinking they should prepare more.

    Our order was forgotten and when it arrived after us asking because we were waiting an hour I would say the beef for a Sunday lunch was rare not medium rare and I sent mine back,for£24 a Sunday lunch is not really the Cows fortè,other orders like burgers etc looked great,but for a Sunday lunch venue coupled with waiting an hour and having to ask wasn’t that great.
