Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the table service, describing servers as welcoming, attentive and friendly, and several credit the refurbishment for how the restaurant now looks. On the plate, a returning regular always orders the Original Combo of chicken and ribs, while others name the chicken and bacon waffles with maple syrup, the mixed grill, the pork belly and the half roast chicken, with food described as hot and tasting great. The salad bar is called fresh and full, and one reviewer found the toilets clean. The main complaint is cost: one reviewer says prices have shot up and calls the fish and chips and steaks extremely expensive for a chain pub, though the place was packed. Another disliked the new bread rolls at the salad bar. One reviewer suggests booking online and entering the registration number into the parking machine to avoid a ticket. One server managed a keto couple's many changes without fuss, and another brought an empty milk glass so a child could give her giant Stitch teddy a drink.

“Hadn't booked but Patrick found us a table near the air-conditioning (bonus). Food tasty and no waiting, Service was great would recommend.”

“Popped in here for some food before shopping a few weeks ago and had such a good experience. My partner ordered the mixed grill and really enjoyed it. I ordered the pork belly and when the food came out I was breastfeeding my baby and the female member of staff was so kind and attentive! She offered to take it back to the kitchen to keep it warm until I was done and even offered to have the chef cut it into bit size pieces so it was easy to eat. She went out of her way to be helpful and inclusive. Having had some negative experiences with breastfeeding this really meant a lot! I wish I’d got her name but hopefully you can figure out who she is and pass on some positive feedback! All I remember is she had dark hair and was wearing black trousers:leggings and black trainers”

“We had a fabulous afternoon celebrating our nephew's birthday. Lisa was our server, and we couldn't praise her enough. Nothing was too much trouble for her—she was so warm, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon was had by all, and we'll definitely be returning in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Our visit to the restaurant was a lovely experience. It's the first time we have visited since the refurbishment and it did not disappoint. Our server Lauren was so welcoming and personable. She was happy entertaining our daughter's giant Stitch teddy and even brought an empty milk glass to the table so our daughter could pretend to give Stitch a drink. She was very attentive throughout our meal and checked in to make sure our food was ok. The food itself was delicious, hot and fresh tasting. We will be back again.”
