  “Brilliant service, lovely meal, well timed, didn’t feel rushed at all. Dave who served us at the bar and took our complicated order did it with no complaints and delivered said dishes with a smile. Really added to our day. There was 11 of us.”

  “We chose this venue to host our wedding breakfast and reception. We wanted a venue that was going to provide a quirky and cosy atmosphere without over charging us simply because it was a wedding. Having only driven past the venue a couple of times previously we were blown away when we first visited.The manager Tom helped us organise a great event utilising standard menu options. We were supported in our efforts by being allowed to visit multiple times before the event to work through plans and were allowed to decorate the venue the evening before. The assistant manager Kerry gripped our event with passion and gave us great confidence that we were in very capable hands.The event itself was reported by many to be one of the best they had been to. This was very much in part due to the environment created by the staff and the support given to allow us many freedoms to host an event just how we wanted it. They even took down the decorations for us. The food is really good quality and we will be frequent visitors. We maxed out the 150 people capacity for our half of the venue which had a private bar, seating area to feed 60, and we put the DJ in the conservatory which worked really well. Thank you for all your efforts. Lisa and Al xx”

  “Albeit in central Rayleigh it's a great little gem off the main beaten tracks of the area. Good value grub even better when offers are available. Dog friendly which is almost essential for me. All the staff are friendly. Service is usually very quick too. Other establishments should take note!!!”
