People tell me the food here is amazing, but I thought it was absolutely average, and that is being generous.The menu is very limited with some overly fanciful names to try and justify the pricing.If you like a menu with a lot of options and/or generous portions, this is not the place for you. Please check out the menu before you go!I had the Hunters chicken burger, it was fine, but nothing special, the brioche bun was dry and would have been good for breadcrumbs, the chips were a child's portion served in a small basket.However, the staff were very friendly and helpful.My overall experience was OK, but I wouldn't go back or recommend it to friends.

We visited for a Sunday roast, and everything was absolutely delicious. We had picanha, which came with a perfectly cooked Yorkshire pudding, nice veg, and an amazing gravy. Couldn't have asked for better. I only deducted an atmosphere star because sadly the place was basically empty, but it really didn't deserve to be!!

Found this place by accident, now my favourite restaurant! Been loads of times now and every time the food is on point, staff are really friendly as well. Highly

I visited here with my partner & daughter yesterday. Possibly the best Sunday roast I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend. We will be back soon.

The bar area was poor…the music was far far too loud to the point it’s redic! So much so that we and 2 other tables complained of the loudness of the juke box (a group of 3 guys, 2 couples and us complained), but apparently it’s their bar!! If this place has any aspirations to be anything but a local boys club then this place needs to be professional and to not actually annoy customers…

Was here to celebrate my 50th & my mum’s birthday. Food was awesome and the night made even more special with the added touches of complimentary wine and the attention to detail for deserts.Staff were very attentive. Would highly recommend, foid & service is second to none.

First thing is it’s extremely overpriced for half portions. Then there’s the Fawlty Towers experience service…probably could have three episodes whilst we waited for two bowls of stock water with a bit potato thrown in. Main courses eventually arrived with the medium steak being extremely well done and the Cajun Chicken was closer to a vegetarian dish as there was plenty cheese and sauce but not much chicken. Side of frozen onion rings straight from the crematorium, obviously forgot they were cooking like the well done steak. The ‘rustic chips’ fries were passable. Slow service, overpriced small portions. Shame because it’s a nice setting with plenty polite staff.

Went for my 40th after a flight home from a holiday, a wee suprise from my dad as I had wanted to try here. Meals were all served wrong, son ordered ribeye got sirlon, no sauces got sauces etc. All food was cold and all rare steaks were well done..... we mentioned but dealt with the above, however it's advertised they close at 10 but when we ordered coffee to finish the meal at 9 the coffee machine was off. We left when they started mopping the floor about 9.20....... not for me but each to there own.

We went there for a nice dinner, and were fairly unsatisfied. 1. My wife ordered bruscetta with tomatoes - received very soggy with mushrooms instead - ate as she did not like the idea of putting the food to the bin. 2. I ordered rare-medium steak. I have to say - never I had a steak where in one piece I had rare on one side going to very well done on the other end. 3. 2x apple crumble were good. 4. They use white table cloth!! I wanted to go back due to that but my wife said no lovers way. Since that time I have spoken with few people who were there few more times and said that their experience was negative. Pitty as I wanted to go back.

Ridiculously slow service and tiny portions. £18 for a stupidly tiny portion of sea bass. Lucky if it was a quarter of a sea bass. A joke how small the portion was in relation to the massively over inflated price.
Great night for a large table enjoying a family birthday. Service was swift and timly. The food was excellent and the staff very helpful. Reasonable cost also.

Had a visit to Stones today with my son and it was excellent. We both had fillet steaks and both cleared our plates . Was top notch and cooked to perfection. We know a good fillet when we eat one and we both left happy today. Thanks to the staff for being friendly and thanks to the chef for coming over for a chat ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Waited a while for drinks, but when cocktails arrived they were delicious. Quite a lot of the starter options were not available. Steaks cooked to perfection, had the date night deal. Would say compared to other restaurants in the area, pricing is quite steep.

First time we visited they were having a few “teething issues”, so there was a limited menu and no alcohol. Fair enough, they were only opened a day or two. Fast forward to this evening, thought we’d give it a try…. After we sat down we were advised there were no chicken options as there was no chicken. Or mushroom options like stroganoff or garlic mushrooms. Ok, I’ll have scallops - sorry no scallops. That basically left fish n chips or a steak dinner. I’ll have a steak with Diane sauce then, and a side of Parmesan and truffle fries… No Diane sauce or Parmesan fries… Ok. I’d love cheesecake for dessert. You guessed it - no cheesecake. So I’ll have a sundae then……. Nope. So we opted to leave the desserts and have a wee digestive instead. Waitress didn’t know what malts they had as she “doesn’t drink alcohol” Then, during our conversation whilst sipping the digestives the waitress butted in asking “have you guys have paid yet?” The ambiance is right, the food that we ended up with was great. But as business owner myself, I would be absolutely mortified at the lack of organisation or basic staff knowledge if this was my business. To have one or two items “off the menu” is understandable if not ideal, but to have so much unavailable on arguably one of the busiest nights of the week is just plain bad management. Great potential but ruined by extremely poor planning and service.

Was our first visit. Scallops for starter were cooked to perfection. Ribeye steak cooked to perfection (medium rare). Very tasty and hearty plate of Steakanoff. Great service and lovely relaxed atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal.
