The servers in this restaurant are always friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble.

Although I'd booked for 5.15pm, we turned up earlier but were still able to be seated. The restaurant was fairly quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. Carley, our server, was especially friendly, helpful and efficient. There was a good choice of salad and meals to choose from in general. Our food was tasty although my gammon was a little overcooked. My hubby had the scampi which he enjoyed. We both just had the bottomless soda option. We did not have dessert as we were too full, nor did we have tea/coffee. Overall we had a great visit.

Easy family place. We don't have too high expectations. Value for money and affordable prices. It was very busy and car parking difficult to find. Staff were friendly but rushed off their feed. Unfortunately, the dress code of a high number of customers was jogging trousers...Parking: Not enough car parkingKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Poor service when we were half way through our starters, the waitress brought out our main meals yet we were unprepared for this and felt as though we were being hurried which as I explained to the girl at the time, was unacceptable. She just seemed to laugh at me and said 'What do you want me to do with it then?' I said take it away and bring back fresh food later when we had all (4 adults) finished our starters. Not at all impressed by this!! AND the Salad cart items (lettuce ) was still frozen and had black leaves where the lettuce was off and should not have been served to the public; similarly some of the food was very very cold and seemed as though it had only just come out of a freezer or fridge but was not edible for example the potato salad had small frozen pieces in it. My chicken breast was burnt and clearly had been re-heated and tasted like a charcoaled piece of chicken. Admittedly I was paying for the 'Sunday offer' deal of two courses for £17.49 but even so I feel we deserved better food- particularly as clearly what the server did was take the food away during our starter and keep it to one side, just re-heating it and re-serving it to us. The chicken breast was swamped in BBQ sauce and a slice of bacon across it. It was very disappointing all in all and I declined having a dessert as the rest of the meal was spoilt by the server making us feel uncomfortable with 'hurrying us' along. I would appreciate a call to discuss this as the salad cart had some serious issues regarding cleanliness and the food offered. Thank-you. Mr Osborne

As a regular diner, I felt the quality of the food has deteriorated, I normally love your classic beefburger &chips, but it was overcooked and the paltry amount of chips were cheap and tasteless. Staff were rushed off their feet, so trying to get the waiters attention was difficult.Parking: Plentiful, never had to wait for space.

Lovely lunch for an excellent priceKid-friendliness: They are so supportive of children of all ages and will happily accommodate all needs. When my baby was little I used to ask to sit in a quiet corner to feed as I was self conscious and they would always happily move my table to accommodate my needs. Have been back regularly and never disappointed

Came here with my niece this evening and had a lovely time. Laura took our table and was just so lovely, friendly and helpful. Even took our glasses and refilled them for us so we didn't have to get up. The food was really nice, we got full up quick but Laura provided us with boxes to take it home in. Would definitely come back again after tonight's visit.
