Customer Review Summary
The Sunday carvery draws the most consistent praise, with reviewers repeatedly highlighting the large veg selection, the gravy, and multiple meat choices, plus one diner noting a chef who offered a clean knife for allergy concerns. Off-menu dishes also earn mentions, including the lamb kofta starter, 28 day aged beef with cauliflower cheese, faggots with mash and peas, and Hunters Chicken. Service is frequently called friendly and attentive, with one reviewer praising staff who tracked down a misplaced ring within hours. However, a real trade-off recurs around busy periods: several describe long waits (one birthday party waited 40 minutes with no explanation and encountered a rude server), a mixed grill with hard eggs and tough, overcooked steaks despite requesting medium, dry carvery veg during a 7pm sitting, and two separate accounts of steak sent back well done and grey after asking for medium rare. Several reviewers recommend booking ahead given the crowds. One large group's Christmas meal for 26 people was called fault-free, with the organizer rebooking on the spot.

“Wow .. the problem about writting a great review is the fact that the place gets busy and sometimes as a result quality dips .. Well having been back 3 times i can honestly say this place is an absolute gem of a place . Yes it does get busy , so no matter when you are thinking of going , i would definately recommend that you book in advance 😀 Yes it does get busy , but the standards have not slipped at all .. friendly helpful staff , atmosphere and of course the quality of the food are all top notch 😍 Most people , including me , go there for the carvery , which is available in 2 sizes and prices .. personally the smaller one would suit most sized appetites .. There is a large , and i mean large array of veg to choose from and of course if you like gravy , thats there too as is other sauces . The thing i love most about the veg is that there is very little / no pepper added , but if pepper is your thing you can always add your own . One of the biggest problems , if you can call it a problem , is finding room on your plate for all the wide choice of veg that there is on offer 🤣 Obviously they serve soft and alcholic drinks and there seems to be a good selection and as im always driving i can only say that the full fat coke is what you expect it to be 🤣 As far as puddings go , i cant comment because im always too full to try any 🤣 Price wise , its very reasonable . As with all my reviews , i would say go and try this place out with an open mind , but , i really dont think you will be dissapointed 😀”
