We came here to celebrate my daughters birthday with family and friends. There were 15 of us and everyone had a lovely time. Most of us pre ordered our food and for the ones who hadn't it wasn't a problem and their order was taken once we arrived. It was a Sunday so a few opted for the roast dinner deal too. The food was very nice and we were all happy. The staff were brilliant and made my daughters dessert extra special. Looking forward to coming again.

Great place and lovely food. I would definitely recommend. The young girl who served us was very friendly and polite. The garlic bread pizza is a must. I’m sad I didn’t get a photo of it.

Came across this restaurant whilst on Google. Menu looked different so though I would give it a try. Went for lunch on a Thursday arriving around 1.45pm. Very large car park and it looked busy. Disappointing to see only two designated disabled spaces at the front of the building. But there was a ramp with hand rails on both sides making access possible for those in a wheelchair or with mobility issues. But as the car park was so big we had no problem finding a space. 5 star hygiene sticker visible as we entered. Something I must check more often in future. Once inside we didn’t have to wait long to be greeted. We hadn’t booked. I had looked at pictures online beforehand and noticed they had the bench type seats on some tables. I asked if we could get one of those. Unfortunately none were available. Our greeter suggested we take a seat in the bar area and look at the menus, order some drinks and, if a suitable table became available, he would allocate it to us. I had already decided on what I was going to order from looking at the menus online. I ordered from the Prix Fixe menu with 3 courses costing £21.95. I ordered the Gambas Al Pil Pil for which there was a surcharge of £1.50. Followed by Salmon and Dill Fishcakes with Sicilian Lemon Tart for dessert. My brother picked from the A la Carte menu going for Pepperoni Piccantina pizza at £13.95 with a side order of fries at £3.45. I ordered a bottle of white Rioja at £22.95 and my brother a pint of Estrella at £5.85. It looks only a matter of time before it will be six quid a pint. I was annoyed to see the wine brought to the table uncorked. I told the bar person this. She did apologise but I do find this a more and more common practice and it needs addressing. If staff are not comfortable opening wine then maybe they should switch to screw top only on the wine list. It didn’t seem long before the gentleman who had greeted us came to tell us a suitable table was now available. I would like to thank him again for taking the time to sort that. I was much more comfortable on that type of seat. My king prawn starter arrived. Seven prawns in my serving so not a bad portion. Would have liked an extra piece of bread though. A nice kick to them from the chillis and lots of garlic flavour. I really enjoyed them. My fish cakes were ok. Nothing special but adequate with a decent amount of salmon in them. My brothers pizza looked a good size. When we ordered we asked what size the pizza was. They are not done on size but on the weight of the dough. Still no matter it was a good size, plenty of pepperoni on it and my brother enjoyed it. However, he wasn’t impressed with his fries. Mine were crisp and tasty. He said his were underdone. We swapped a few and had to agree. They were different in colour, taste and texture and a couple were definitely under cooked. We did mention this to one of the servers who said she would relay back to the kitchen. But it wasn’t a major issue but seemed strange how fries ordered at the same time could differ so much. My dessert was lovely but rather a small portion I thought. We also ordered coffees. Service was friendly and good humoured. However, we dealt with 5 different people during out visit if you include the bar person who served the wine. I prefer where you have the same waiter or waitress but again more places seem to be adopting the same approach that you are served by whoever is available. The venue itself was clean and well laid out. I saw no steps inside so wheelchair friendly. The music system also deserves a mention. Loud enough to hear clearly if you concentrated but not that loud that it interfered with your conversation. So overall not the cheapest of places and not the biggest of portions. At least for the set price menu in my opinion. However, I think most people would be satisfied as I do have a big appetite . And I would visit again. There is an extensive menu with a very diverse range of options. Plus having registered online with them I can claim 20% off food on my next visit there so hope to be popping back before too long.
