Customer Review Summary

The salad bar draws the most consistent praise, with several diners calling it an excellent part of the meal and one noting staff kept refilling onion flakes without fuss. Breakfast also gets singled out as good sized, and the unlimited drink refill option comes up favorably alongside quick, well flavored food on good visits. But complaints recur almost as often: reviewers describe overcooked, dry chicken, bland rice tasting reheated, a mixed grill called greasy with a flavorless black pudding and tough steak, and food repeatedly lacking seasoning. Slow service is a recurring thread, with diners left waiting to be seated or for orders to be taken. One reviewer reports being kept in an unheated section despite asking to move, with staff unable to adjust the radiators. On a stronger visit, one reviewer had a fish order run out but was given the replacement meal free of charge as a goodwill gesture.

    “Overpriced for what you get. Too much emphasis on the free salad with every meal. I had chicken skewers and rice. The rice tasted like microwavable rice and wasn't pleasant, like it had been reheated. My chicken was overcooked and was far too dry. Sadly, we probably won't return as this is the 3rd time we haven't had a great meal. Service was slow and it wasn't particularly busy. It took over 20 minutes for somebody to take our food order.”

    “Poor service due to overworked staff, waiting at door for 10 minutes to be seated, waited over 30 minutes for food, the mix grill was horrendous, it was a grease feast. The steak was tougher than my ex wife,, the black pudding was flavourless, I’m not going to mention the mushroom, the chicken was ok and the gammon was ok but so small, value for money, not at all, the right price would be £14 quid and a health warning… and the load of a defibrillator…”
