  “Food was very good. Service a wee bit slow and steak was asked to be done rare but it was medium. Tasty though”

  “Made a reservation but there was plenty of tables, been a Sunday evening. Service was very quick & efficient. Food was excellent & great value, we had 1 surf & turf & 1 sizzling chicken curry.”

  “I went to order at the bar and told the server Nathan S that I had the app. I ordered our food and I asked for a half pint of draft cola, a ginger beer and I asked for a dry white wine. I had a free wine voucher but he didn’t even bother asking what size or type of wine I wanted. He also poured a pint of draft cola instead of the half pint I asked for. When I pointed out that it was a half pint I had asked for he said sarcastically “you asked for a pint” . I said I wouldn’t ask for a pint of cola for a nine year old but he then reluctantly poured half of it into a smaller glass . He already given me the bill but didn’t even offer to refund the price difference between the pint of draft cola and the half pint I received. Very disappointed in the server’s attitude.”

  “Only popped in for a pint. Staff really attentive and had a wee laugh with the locals. A bit dark and depressing inside. Main doors not very welcoming looking (needs a thorough paint job). Nice selection of beers and not too bad price wise”

  “Food OK, forgot the egg with my gammon steak, slow with desserts, we ordered 2 the same, got different sundae, sorted it out ourselves as easier. Nobody seemed to want to be there. Already not impressed as told on Friday night kitchen had closed at 7.30, so we had to go out for food, after a long drive ordered drinks from table Saturday which did not arrive. 20 mins later went to empty bar to fetch them ourselves. Gave up went back to our hotel room and opened a bottle.”

  “Popped in for dinner while staying at the hotel next door. Large restaurant area with a good range of seating options. Large menu and the fish and chips was great and such good value for money 👍🏻 friendly and helpful staff throughout. Bar area is nice too and there's a good selection on draft. Toilets clean and tidy.”

  “Didn't have half the food on the menu. I got a third choice and wish I had left instead but the others in our party promised me it was good, I'll not be trusting their opinions on eating places again. I ordered a burger with bacon on it whit was mostly fat and stringy the burger was burnt beyond crispy half of it got left it was that bad. There was food lying on the floor around our table and the servers weren't in any hurry to clean it up and it wasn't like it wasn't visible. Children are allowed to run rampant which isn't the best when you're trying to enjoy a meal no matter how bad it was, but that's also a reflection on the clientele.”

  “Large menu, you order through a web app rather than through a waiter. The staff were friendly enough and the food was not too bad, one of our drinks didn’t arrive so we had to go and ask about that.”

  “We actually went twice in one day - lunch and dinner! Lunch was good as not many customers and service was quick. Good value for money food. I had chicken breast with sizzling vegetables - portions nicely filling. Went back in the evening and it was very busy. We waited a very long time, but to be fair, they had a notice saying they were short staffed and please to bear with them!. I had the salad plate and added the chicken and bacon bits to it - it was so yummy! My lunch was roughly £9, as was my dinner. They have a good sized bar, to the left as you walk in, pool table, sports TV, darts corner, then to the right the main dining area, kids corner top right. Very nice - great value but hope they get more waiters as service was very slow in the evening.”
