Customer Review Summary
Roast beef Sunday lunch draws the strongest praise, with the gravy singled out, close behind the broccoli and stilton soup and the fish and chips. One reviewer describes a chef offering to cook whatever they fancied after the menus couldn't be printed. A dissenting review reports overpriced steak, forgotten drinks, and a dish arriving with requested items left on despite an allergy at the table.

“What a lovely place. Really relaxed rang up got a room and even changed the dates at short notice no charge or worries. …”
- Jessica Birkenhead
“Food was overpriced for the quantity of food. Steak prices on par with more refined places and not of the same quality. Waitressing not the best, noone asked about allergies when we had one at the table. Had to keep asking for drinks and then forgot about them. Food came out with items on we had asked to be removed. Definitely will not be going again.”
- Elizabeth Whetton
“Myself and my Granddaughter called in for lunch. The restaurant was quiet but still a nice atmosphere. The food was delicious and the staff friendly. The chef very kindly offered to make us whatever we fancied as it was a very hot day and they had problems with printing menus. The food was good value for money. Our visit was 12/08/26.”

“Best Sunday lunch EVER!! Went with friends who recommended the food and they weren’t wrong. Amazing roast beef and all the trimmings,, the gravy was out of this world. …”
- Peter Shipton
“Popped in for tea tonight and had the best broccoli & stilton soup followed by the chicken burger. Great selection of beers and wines plus a really good menu including a tapas section. Great place only stopping locally due to work but will be back tomorrow. They even have a pool table in one room with what looks like a large function room upstairs. Top class food and top class service! Came in the next night and had the fish and chips that was top notch...”
