Beautiful meal and big portions

Lyndon Bridges

What a lovely place to eat out. Food tasted great, and there was plenty of it. Shared a platter with my son, and it beat us. Staff is extremely pleasant and helpful.

Very disappointing first and last visit to the mineMenus were very tatty and walls filthy so first impressions were not the best, but after having read good reviews before visit thought I would turn blind eye to thatBut first course arrived cold, could of been nice if hotMain meal was diabolical freezing cold mash,peas like bullets and sausages cheapest of the cheap.staff were friendly and guess it’s not their fault,but this restaurant needs a real good shake up!!!

Went here Saturday evening for a 60th Birthday Celebration, party of around 20. Firstly, it took around 40mins to get drinks, then around hour and half for starter, which wasn't to bad, prawns in garlic sauce. Then the mains came half hour later. What a dissapointment, firstly they were not hot, 4 people on our table had sirloins, they were very well done, most of us asked for medium, and the other medium rare. They were all dry as above. The chips were hard and the peppercorn sauces were also cold. When mentioning this to the young lad who was our waiter, he said he was going to bring the manager, who never appeared once. We did pay the bill of £150 for 4 people, which was probably worth £10. The reason we paid in case you are wondering is because it was someone e else's night and we didn't want to spoil it by making a fuss. We would definetly not go back and would definetly not recommend this place at all, stay away if you are wise.

A party of 4 dined here on Saturday 8th March 2024 @ 5pm. The booking process was simple and easy to follow. Unfortunately that's about as far as our compliments go. All four of us were massively disappointed and underwhelmed with our experience. The starters came out they were not what was expected. The creamy garlic mushrooms were bland and tasted more like mushroom soup with a hint of garlic. The 3 measly chicken tenders were dry and what I would have expected to purchase from Iceland and the haloumi fries were generous but lacked flavour. The accompanying salads with the starters consisted of 2 dry pieces of cucumber, old brown iceberg lettuce and limp red onion. For £7.50 per starter, we expected something a bit more special. Then the mains is where we were all really let down. The portions were a great size, the novelty of having it served on a shovel was fun but didn't warrant the £3 price hike. Again, unfortunately that's where the positive ends. The chicken was dry on all dishes, the butter chicken tastes like it was essentially from a jar from Aldi, the salt and pepper chicken was chewy, the honey glazed chicken was dry and advertised to come with salt and pepper chips but just came with normal chips. The Korean chicken balls were just way too salty and too much soy sauce was used. A meal for 4 people coming In at £132 was way overpriced for what was received. If the place was selling its self as a pub with good priced pub food then this place would have easily been a 10/10, but for a price tag of £132 for food that couldn't rival a local weatherspoons just isn't acceptable. They need to focus on quality over quantity and then they may get it right. Needless to say we all left disappointed and wouldn't be recommending or returning again.

We have been wanting to come here for months as the pictures show juicy ribs, burgers etc.....We had the sharing platter with 2 glasses of coke and ice which cost £51.00. At first glance it looked great and we got excited but unfortunately for the food it wasn't very exciting at all! The burgers was bland, no salad or sauces in the burgers and the meat was full of grissle! Dry as a bone! I thought the ribs would be better (you know the type that falls off the bone) well no, it was hard and the sauce was blande! Salt and pepper fries was soggy and soft. If your looking to spend big money on good food, you would be going to the wrong place unfortunately, not sure where all the great reviews have come from. Good luck and get better!

Came here to celebrate my friends birthday yesterday... The staff were very friendly and accommodating.. my main meal was flavoursome but found the rice a little over cooked and the onion rings were clearly frozen onion rings not beer battered... I had the Malteaser Cheesecake for dessert but was slightly disappointed with this as part from a little crumble of Maltseaer on the top the rest just tasted like vanilla ..The Restaurant itself was clean, tidy and cosy ☺️
