  “Delicious food! Really friendly staff and plenty of menu choices. Easy to find with a good car park too. If meeting in a large group where people have to travel further afield, then there's a premier inn a short distance away.”

  “Here for the first time, I was the only one in the restaurant so atmosphere not really rateable but food was great value and selection of wines were well judged. Friendly staff and generous portions too.”

  “Proof of a great place is that it was very well attended as my wife and I arrived at an early time of 6.45 pm. Plenty of table options still available, but booking is certainly recommended. Excellent menu including agreed themed set menu which we both ordered from, and thoroughly enjoyed. Very friendly and efficient staff who were very engaging. The decor and ambiance is very well done. Certainly a place that is making great headway in a very difficult service environment.”

  “Delightful place to eat, drink, relax and socialise - indoor, outdoors and imbetween areas all most pleasant spaces. Indoors well air conditioned for current high temps but plenty of outside areas giving options of sun or shade and all attractively furnished. Appetising menu - great variety including lots of tasty Greek dishes. We love the sharing olive and bread platters to start or just as a tasty snack between us with drinks. So good. 2 of us thoroughly enjoyed tasty salad options last night and instead of a pudding this time opted for the PS I love You cocktail. Delicious. Very good service and most affable Landlord. Highly recommend.”

  “I took a colleague here for lunch and was disappointed. I ordered the Trio Fish, which I’ve had several times before, but it arrived completely different, with watery cabbage and large carrots that lacked flavour (see photo). I politely asked why it had changed, but the response was poor. The plate was taken away, discussed with the chef, and I was told to order something else because “the chef has made it like that for the last three years.” The issue was the attitude as much as the food. I’d simply asked a question about a dish I knew well. By then I’d lost my appetite and didn’t order anything else. The onion ring in the photo was given to me by my colleague — it was the only thing I ate. A shame, as I’ve enjoyed this place before, but I won’t be returning.”

  “Amazing lunch experience today. We visited without a booking and were able to sit in the glass room which we were delighted with. The gentleman that served us kindly helped me with my pram as well which was a great touch. The service was faultless, the food was delicious and the set Greek menu was fantastic value for money. There is ample parking and outdoor seating. I highly recommend and thank you again x”

  “I had a surprise birthday meal, we asked to be sat in the new garden room as the inside felt a bit cramped for us, the staff were amazing and very accommodating, and the garden room was nice and cool, well decorated, the food was really good, my steak was cooked to perfection and a really good quality cut of meat, they really made my night special, everyone i was with said they would be going back again.”

  “Really enjoyed our first visit. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Starters were really excellent. My burger was tasty but the bun started to disintegrate towards half way. Will definitely go back.”

  “I had a lovely family meal here today, with 5 people. The atmosphere was lovely, well decorated and feels very intimate. Even with the lights, there were windows that were letting in some gorgeous sunshine from outside. The service was great, but unfortunately there were only 2 members of staff for a full restaurant! There definitely needs to be more because it did take things like paying and ordering a bit longer than ideal. However, the staff were still great, checking on us and if we needed any drinks through the meal. The staff also were lovely and accommodating for my father, letting us have a take out box because he couldn't finish his meal. The food was great value for money and was delicious. The portions were very generous and the quality was lovely. My only suggestion would be to have some more veg on the chicken and pork dish, but overall, absolutely delicious and will be back!”
