Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently single out the Sunday roast as the central draw, praising the beef and chicken versions, the roasted veg, and a large Yorkshire pudding. Close behind, the fish and chips, cheesecake, and brownie earn repeated mentions, and several describe a clean, chilled atmosphere with friendly, attentive staff. One diner, however, calls the four-prawn starter poor value. A few recommend booking ahead, noting the kitchen stops serving before 8:45 pm.

“Went for Sunday roast. Tried both the chicken and the beef. Nice roasted veg and a large Yorkshire pudding. Just what we were looking for in Sunday roast. Restaurant was clean and has a great atmosphere. Tried the cheesecake and the brownie for desert, both were delicious. Would recommend and will be back.”
- World Traveller
“Came here as a last minute thought for a Sunday Roast and we were not disappointed. Just what we were looking for. The restaurant looks lovely and the staff were very friendly. The meals very very reasonably priced and the quality was great. They do various deals on certain nights which appeared great value.”

“Prawn starter a pure rip off. 4 prawns for £8-9 awful”
