We booked this establishment back in September, after experiencing a superb meal. Little did we know that the property was to change hands even though a £10 non refundable deposit per person had to be paid in advance and menus chosen. There had been no communication by the new owners explaining the situation therefore, we had no reason to believe anything had changed. On the night I started to get concerned when there was only 1 or 2 persons in the restaurant section. However we all entered were greeted and shown to the table. To begin with, we had to ask if the music coming from a speaker, being directly beside our table could be turned down (unable to converse or hear it was so loud). This took 3 requests. All dining had been previously booked (with the previous owners) therefore we expected to get what we ordered. When the starters arrived, one of our party who ordered soup received a third of a small bowl full. This was returned and a full bowl was received. The prawn and avocado cocktail arrived minus any avocado whatsoever. The main courses xmas dinner turkey or pork loins arrived. Well, eack turkey dinner had a variety of vegetables some had sprouts others didn't. Some had one sort of cabbage others had different. The meat was dry however the roast potatoes were passable. The two having pork loins had the meat on a large pile of mustard mash AS WELL AS roast potatoes. The meat I was advised, was tough and unpleasant and left. The deserts were a joke. Xmas puddings were circular and about 2" wide and half to three quarters of an inch deep. Some of the guests had theoretically black forest cheesecake which was the smallest wedge I have ever seen, about 2 and half inches long by and inch wide and less than an inch deep. There was no sign of any black forest interest at all. I wouldn't advise anyone to eat here in any way, waste of money. On top of which this trip cost us £60 by taxi. This would have been worth it with the previous owners, but not now.

Lovely lunch today, much improved with the new chef in place. Batter on the fish was lovely and crispy. Friendly and quick service and always welcoming to children. Thanks Jackie and Sarah. Love the redecoration too.

For ounce i found the reviews to be accurate! I only wish I had spent the time to read them before I was subjected to a roast of uncooked veg microwaved roast potatoes cardboard Yorkshire pudding and none existent meat!!! For a good meal avoid this place like the plague or like me you will wish you did !!

Sad to say but I wouldn't recommend this place what so ever. The food was absolutely horrendous. Veg on the turn. A lady was on the phone talking loudly and was very rude to who ever she was talking to. Then she came off of the phone and was swearing, spoke to a staff member like dirt. When the younge girl came to our table we asked if she was ok. She was upset and told us that the lady who was horrible to her was the manager &owner. Nasty lady. Not very welcoming at all.
