Customer Review Summary
Breakfast draws the most consistent praise, with multiple stays at the neighboring hotel turning into repeat visits for it, and one reviewer recalling how warmly a server greeted their table before the meal. Close behind, Sunday roasts and other mains get regular mention, including chicken tikka masala, burgers, fishcakes and small plates that reviewers describe as delicious. The drinks selection also stands out, with one visitor calling the Trailblazer Stout possibly better than a Guinness. Staff are repeatedly called friendly and helpful, and several note fair, reasonable prices. The recurring caveat is inconsistent kitchen execution: one Sunday lunch arrived with a slightly burnt Yorkshire pudding and overcooked beef, and another diner waited over an hour for mains despite good service. A couple also flag loud music during quiet periods and some overpriced drinks. Even so, most reviewers say they cleaned their plates and plan to return.
