We came here for Sunday lunch while visiting ponderosa. The carvery was delicious with a really good range of veg and potato options, much better than a chain offering. We will definitely return.

amazing food excellent service good value for money .relaxing
It good for a Sunday carvery the food is really good a little over cooked on the beef for me you do need the gravy to moisten it up, don't be worried about asking for more meat as they are a little light when cutting it . Bit the staff are fantastic .

Was at the Dinner Dance, Saturday night. Good food and service but spoilt by overloud music. Our request for it to be turned down seemed to be ignored... our table was directly opposite the speakers which meant conversations were almost impossible during the meal. After we'd eaten we moved to the sofas in front of the bar area which took us away from the party area and atmosphere. This marred what could have been a fabulous evening. Organisers, please be aware of your customers comments...

I very much enjoyed our visit to ponderosa lakeside restaurant. The petting zoo was fun for the kids and we looked forward to the carvery afterwards.The service from the staff on the floor was fantastic , great value for money and an all round good experience .Special mention to our server Demi who’s bright outlook make our kids day. The manager however, must of had a bad morning as appeared grumpy and lacklustre , when we approached. he seemed disinterested and passed us to a member of staff on all occasions so hope the tips and feedback lands in the correct wage packets.

We’ve been coming for years and absolutely love everything from the greeting from the friendly staff when you go in, to the speed of service.Staff make a fuss of the kids and are constantly checking everything is ok.Food I regularly refreshed and there is a good selection of deserts. Never made to feel rushed and a lovely setting area outside when you’ve finished your food.Kid-friendliness: Staff are all amazing with the kids especially Craig, B, Ella and Demi. Kids feel welcome and comfortable approaching staff if they need anything.
