    Superb Beef Sunday roast, very friendly staff, only reason not giving 5 Star was lack of mashed potatoes.

    The food was amazing as always. So disappointing there are never any gluten free desserts except ice cream.

    Booked online for my husband's birthday, chose a raised table to be away from the bar area. On arrival we were shown to a small two seater table in the walkway to the other tables right next to the women's toilets, not on raised area. When I explained I'd rather not sit there, it seemed to be met with some annoyance. Once sat, very little interaction with the many young staff passing by. Plates were taken away almost as soon as our cutlery was down, it felt like we were constantlybeing watched and weren't able to relax. Generally felt very expensive for steaks which weren't correctly cooked to order. There are nicer places to eat steak not far away. Glad we tried it, but we won't be back!

    Food was good, maybe a little overpriced, considering the restaurant was empty and there were more staff than customers service was a little slow.

    Best steak (fillet, medium rare with sweet potato fries and pepper sauce) I’ve ever had. If I could, I’d eat it every day! Eating out can sometimes not live up to the idea but the food has been to my liking every time I’ve been. Thank you

    The food, drinks and staff were good. The only letdown was the table was sticky and there was a small vase on the table with a very died bunch of flowers in dirty water. Menu is a bit limited. I don't eat much meat, but there was only one vegetarian option. This contained Moroccan spice, which is not to my taste so had to order a meat dish. I ordered the lamb, which was perfectly cooked and tasted lovely.

    Very good food but service was very slow. I appreciate that Easter Sunday is a busy day for restaurants but it seemed they had more people booked in than they could manage
