Customer Review Summary

Friendly, patient staff are what reviewers mention most, from a host who explained how best to order to a server who delivered drinks politely, and one diner says the team made them feel completely at ease. Food is often said to arrive quickly, and diners name fish and chips, a steak set menu, a spicy beef burger, BBQ cauliflower wings, vegan nachos and a jacket potato. One reviewer calls the new breakfast menu good value. Several mention ordering through the website or app and using a voucher discount on mains. The waterfront view, relaxed atmosphere, live music, an ABBA tribute act, karaoke and the Directors choice ale also come up. The main complaint comes from one pre-show party. After being quoted a wait, their food took far longer, three steaks arrived cold and one dish was wrong. They had to rush to make their show, and they say the restaurant did not seem busy. By contrast, one family recalls the host giving their daughter his pen so she could colour the kids menu.

    “This was our first visit and we will definitely be back! The host was very friendly and attentive. He explained how best to order and gave our daughter his pen as there were no colours for her to do the kids menu paper. The website to complete our order was very straight forward and the staff were all very friendly when they came to delivering our food and clearing away. Lovely environment and well organised. Definitely a place to visit.”
