“Amazing choice on menu - especially on the weekly specials! Great quality of food and efficient, friendly service.”
- Scott Anderson
“Another outstanding meal tonight… Being Feb 14th I went with the medium rare fillet steak c/w homemade peppercorn sauce, mushrooms, onion rings, halloumi and garnish. Fiancée went with the stuffed chicken escalope with parma ham, mozzarella and basil. Both topped off with an heavenly brownie c/w vanilla ice cream. Lovely welcoming service and atmosphere as always, a good team. Between that and last Sunday’s roast here I’m not too sure on a winner so we will continue to work through their exciting menu!”

“We went there for a family birthday celebration and although it was our first visit, others in the party had been before and highly recommended it and they were not wrong. Fantastic food - so delicious and excellent service. They couldn't …”

“What a lovely family atmosphere, fantastic food and the friendliest staff. The seafood linguini, the gammon steaks and the chicken breasts and bacon were all outstanding, piping hot and fresh. Thank you, we all really enjoyed our visit.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
