Brilliant value, great service.

We booked for a celebration - a 70th birthday party but were very disappointed at both the service and food.Service was incredibly slow, despite the fact we'd pre-ordered. Food was no better than average. My vegetable lasagne contained no vegetables, food had clearly been microwaved and my husband's chicken burger had no sauce (as described in the menu). We were refunded for those 2 meals but that didn't help the fact a celebration was slightly tainted by the poor quality and service. We won't be back.

Lovely food, piping hot, reasonably priced. Service was brilliant and staff couldn't do enough and one thing you could eat your meal without staff coming up all the time asking if everything is okayParking: If disabled need to drop off before going on the car park

We visited this evening and were left very disappointed. Having seen the adverts we decided to give it a go!Upon arrival, lovely lady showed us to our carriage and we chose our food. I had ‘crispy Pork Belly’ that was not crispy, tough as a leather boot and was re-heated leaving the meat with that horrid taste. The mash was microwaved and really not good. The cod and chips, well very little cod and chips that had no filling they were that old and dry. The burger was okay but again, not the best.A really disappointing visit and sadly we won’t be returning. Cooking fresh food is always the way forward, trying to re-heat food and serving it like this is not good and will cause many issues in the future. Sorry but it was awful!

Sadly this was a disappointing event. I felt genuinely sorry for the staff who were all quite obviously overwhelmed. We waited over an hour and a half to be seated. We did get drinks prior to being shown our table but only because we fetched our own, we were offered drinks whilst waiting in the bar, but an order was never taken. On to the food, so disappointing! Out of a party of 10, not one had a meal that appeared to have been freshly made, all main items were frozen and cooked, mass production items. Before our visit I'd had high hopes that the menu would offer more bespoke culinary delights but our expectations were nowhere near met. On a plus, although over worked and quite obviously stressed the staff were friendly, pleasant and somewhat apologetic
