  “Went here for my wife's birthday for which friends booked on our behalf, the servers were friendly and polite, the food was excellent, belly of pork was amazing, an array of deserts, our friends bought a cake which the servers brought out and sang happy birthday, overall a really good experience at reasonable prices, plenty of seating and room. Will certainly visit again.”

  “Visited for my friends 40th Birthday last week and was very impressed with the carvery! Had the carvery a couple of times before in the past but I think this time was by far the best! Everything was cooked to perfection and was really flavoursome and tasty; the roast potatoes were amazing and very crispy, great selection of vegetables, succulent turkey, huge crispy stuffing balls and it was really nice to get full size proper butchers pork sausages too! However I do have one small criticism with the carvery and it's that none of the extra dishes which are not common to get on a carvery are not labelled! This means that you constantly have to ask the chef what they are and they are often either very busy serving customers, or have walked off from the carving deck. There were about 3 or 4 dishes on there which I had no clue what they were and the chef seemed to be a bit irritated with me and my friends asking. A couple of things I didn't bother asking about in the end and therefore didn't end up having as I wasn't sure what it was, and unfortunately may have missed out on something I would have liked. I also feel that its not the best or safest practice for people who have allergies to not have dishes labelled. I understand they may change daily, but if the management team could just implement small little blackboard name cards which can be written on with chalk and rubbed off, this would be hugely helpful!!! I have seen this kind of thing done in other restaurants so it wouldn't be hard to do, but it has been like this for years. I feel that it must get quite frustrating for the staff to repeat themselves several times to customers, but it's also very frustrating for customers having to ask what lots of dishes are. Turns out one dish was some sort of stew (still wasn't really clear on what it had in it) some sort of potato dauphinoise (unclear if it was a in a cheese sauce so I left it) some lemon and pepper pork bites in a crispy batter (these were very nice!) and 1 or 2 other dishes which I didn't feel I could ask about. After the carvery, 3 out of 5 of us ordered desserts. I had the bakewell slice with amaretto pouring cream, which was very nice, it really made a difference having amaretto flavour to it, I just wish you got more of it as the cream got soaked up too fast. It would have also been better if the bakewell slice was served warm; it had come out the fridge and was cold which I was a bit surprised and disappointed by, but it was still nice. Service was fine, staff professional and polite, it was also a great atmosphere, very busy/thriving and we didn't feel pressured to leave.”

  “Wow. Easy parking, warm welcome, great spaced seating, food was outstanding. Was not expecting carvery open on a Saturday and oh what a carvery too. Lots of choice. Not too great in the vegan front as lots of veg were cooked using non vegan ingredients, but the vegan in the party certainly didn't leave hungry. Service was swift and we were not pressured to leave, which was nice for our party. Highly recommended.”

  “Met a friend here for lunch as conveniently off the A11 for us both. Excellent value for money lunch, with lovely, kind and very obliging restaurant staff. My friend had crutches and they very kindly got her carvery, letting her know what was available so that she could choose what she wanted. I had a spiced butterflied chicken breast with sweet potato fries. Tasty and generous portions. We had a coffee in the coffee bar afterwards as the restaurant was closing and that was nice too. It would be a good place to stop en route. I would recommend booking as it was busy on a Wednesday lunchtime.”

  “We had the carvery. Felt lucky we got in easter sunday but a massive disappointment. The plates were really small. The joints of meat were massive so that took half ya plate the roasts were nice but too big the veg had just been sitting there and was starting to dry out well the peas had. So really was forced to pile the plate high to get all wanted. The stuffing was hard and stodgy. So on this experience i wont be returning. Such high hopes and heared good reports. Not for me sorry. The staff was so lovely too.”

  “Always a chilled out and lovely experience! From it's coffee lounge, fine dining restaurant, or drink from the bar there is a space to suit someone. Serving great food, this is a place that keeps me coming back. Why not extend your stay and stop over!”

  “We attended the stag for a lunch. They had a great menu and also offered a carvery. (We had the carvery) it was fantastic offering 3 different meats and a large selection of fresh potato dishes and vegetable dishes. Not to mention the Yorkshire puddings. And they let you have seconds of potatoes and vegetables. The service was excellent and it was very good value for money. After dinner we went to the coffee shop part and had a coffee. You could also purchase cakes and bar snacks. There is a hotel part to the facilitie. And plenty of parking.”
