  “Really good food at a really good price. Toilets are to notch as well and plenty of parking plu a view over the lake from the restaurant which is magnificent. I go at lunchtime but I see there are plenty of evening entertainment. I suggest you check the website.”

  “I was blown away by this stunning place, we all were as a group of 5. Me as the vegan though did not have a great time with the food, I appreciate you have a few vegan items now which is so great! But my burger was really really shockingly tiny, not even the size of my palm and then my brothers big meaty burger was genuinely the size of his head 😂 ill upload photos if possible. My burger was served to me with a bun and very underwhelming patty, not the beyond meat ones, the weird fried mushy ones, which I haven't been unfortunate enough to be served for a very long time. On the menu it says the vegan burger is served with cheese lettuce and a tomato which I did not get. I understand your staff probably dont come across many vegans but we would really appreciate if you could put as much effort into ours as you do the normal ones, mostly because I had SUCH high hopes for this place after seeing how gorgeous it is, I brought my family here and want it to be our local. Really hope for the future you can provide a better patty and sized bun! I paid the same price as my brother but had way under half of the portion he got. And unfortunately this really did ruin the experience for me I wasn't even going to leave this review but if there's any hopes for better vegan food here I can promise you you'll have many more people coming here as were always looking for a nice spot to come to. I have a pretty big vegan family lol and also stumbled across some vegan/veggie reviews Thank you”

  “Went here for lunch on a lovely sunny day in the week, it was pretty quiet apart from a few golfers having a beer. We ordered food,I went for a tuna sandwich and my partner had the fish and chips. Food took ages to arrive, pretty much a good 45 minutes so we had to chase. My sandwich arrived completely, the bread was all dried up and stale. My partner had a tiny piece of fish, few chips and pees, which was cold. We won't be returning. Place looks tired and scruffy and very dated.it desperately needs some tlc as this place could be amazing if it wS tiered up. Staff need a rocket up their behind, it's run by kids who have no clue how to serve customers. We walked back to the car park, all so very tired, scruffy and not bothered with, such a shame just the wrong people managing it...”

  “For having a large event here, it is quite suitable, the view is nice, lots of place to commune with people and overall it is a nice aesthetic when you want a break. However, if you come here for the food, do not get your hopes up. The starter of panko-crumbled brie was very nice, however the roast chicken and brownie dessert was quite a let down. The chicken was dry and had minimal gravy occupying it which didn't make it a good eating experience. The brownie was dense and you could tell the staff put it in the microwave beforehand before taking it out and serving it to us. Overall, for an event it is good, but don't get your hopes up on the food”

  “Love this place. We go for a fishing day out quite regularly... I don't fish, hubby and son do 😀 Staff are very friendly and service is excellent. We've not tried the food yet but it looks and smells amazing. Beautiful setting, very relaxing. If you're local I highly recommend popping in.”

  “Went to a Wham tribute night. Never been a mad Wham fan but it was a very good night. Food and service also very good. Couldn't fault it.”

  “Last night, was our first visit to this venue and we attended an Abba tribute night. The setting is fabulous and we had a lovely view across the lake from our table. Staff were very welcoming, professional and efficient throughout the evening. We all enjoyed our meals. The service staff were very pleasant, portion sizes were good and the food was served piping hot. We'd taken a birthday cake with us and staff kindly got extra tea plates and cutlery for this. The bar service was very good (didn't have to wait long to be served) and prices reasonable. Abbariginals were very entertaining, the on-stage banter very funny and they boosted what was already a really good atmosphere, up another notch. The celebration parties in the room were acknowledged and dance floor was full all night. We had a wonderful evening and will certainly go back again.”

  “Lovely lunch booked for my Mom last Saturday. We took a birthday cake which was looked after my the staff until we needed it. Mel and Josie served us and they couldn't have been more brilliant. Lovely ladies who couldn't have helped more, very friendly and chatty. Loved it here and the view of the lake is stunning. Definitely be back!!”

  “Went for a drink and walk around the lake. Beautiful place to sit and enjoy a cold drink or even to eat. Once we planned to cook the steaks for dinner we haven’t decided to eat but will definitely come again for trying their kitchen”

  “Booking online was great, good system with follow up emails and links to order our food. Once in the show venue, the bar was crowded on arrival. Nice welcome from the lady at reception. Bar service was ok. The music being played was ok but where i sat the sound was barely audible. Food was so so, pub grub done ok but mostly was pre prepped and pre sliced meat, auntie bessie style roast potatoes and sprouts were old school, underdone. My prawn cocktail was a pool of sauce 4 leaves and a few prawns on a plate, disappointing. The puds were ok. Then the band. Sound quality was poor, couldnt hear what he was singing half the time but he sang some good stuff from 70s and 80s. So, would i come back.....Big Fat YES. The place was buzzin, people were enjoying themselves and we had a great time. Overall we had a great night out and i would prefer to pay more and get good fresh food prelared by chefs but for what i paid, i say we will definitely return and soon”
