My family had a really nice meal here this evening. Good choice of Sunday roasts, plus other stuff on offer for the kids. My only tiny quibble is I would have liked to have had the beef dinner with just the rib, no sirloin. Other than that it was great, and we'll certainly be returning at some point.

We visited here on a busy sunny Friday evening, the service was still great and the burger was incredible. The chocolate bomb for dessert is a high recommendation too. Would definitely recommend visiting here!

Odd choice of background music, more of a pub/club atmosphere than relaxed dining. The food is amazing though 💕

Absolutely fantastic! Mothers day was the most special one yet due to the service and food at this venue. There was a 3 course meal. I had Chipotle Sticky Chicken to Start (succulent chicken and full of flavour sauce), Trio of Roast Meats (Beef, Pork & Chicken all cooked to perfection. I usually add salt to everything but no salt was added to this meal, it was seasoned perrectly) then for dessert Berry and White Chocolate Pavlova (Melted in the mouth abd was served like a work of art)

Updated review: we've visited here twice recently. Pleasantly surprised by the food on both occasions. The roast dinner was delicious, the, everyone enjoyed all meals. A couple of suggestions to push this into a really fab restaurant - on both occasions there were quite a few items missing from the menu, although not a major issue for us as we are not particularly fussy, I'm sure it would be for others. Better ordering would help. The restaurant is a bit uncomfortable - bright, hot and humid with the kitchen in it, maybe worth looking at this longer term and service was a bit odd - wrong drinks, slow drinks and food sat waiting to be served for quite a while. On the whole good and will return

My parents took me here and I really was impressed by the decor, service and food. The staff are spot on with looking after us. It was busy during the week and for good reason. Food really is great, the lunch menu is a very good deal. The amount of food and quality means you really should come here more than once. We came here multiple times. Lunch menu to enjoy the fish and chips which is huge and fresh with a lovely thin batter. The starters are a good size and fresh. The desserts are nice. Ice cream is delicious, the crumble is lovely. We tried the Christmas menu, turkey was moist and I hope they gave a bit more pigs in blankets as they only gave one and I asked for one extra and got one extra. Poached pear was lovely. Coke was flat but they changed it. Good range of drinks and friendly staff. I highly recommend here. Enjoy and please press like.

Really nice food and great service! Shared the salt and pepper squid to start which was a really good size portion and very tasty. Would highly recommend the fish and chips, fish really fresh and bigger than the plate! Belly pork was very tasty and lovely little pulled pork bon bon, my only small criticism would be the crackling, it was more for show and wasn't 'crackled' enough. Overall, very full and would definitely come again.

Amazing Sunday Roast I have had. The Yorkshire pudding is on point, vegetable served on the size with Gravy sauce. Love the vibes of the restaurant Only cons is the restaurant is quite busy so no staff to take care for walk-ins. My friend did order and bring drinks by himself.

Wow ! This stunning little pub/restaurant really delivers. Tried it for the first time and was not disappointed. Immaculately clean , the staff are 2nd to none in delivering top class service . We both went for the belly pork and crackling roast dinner , it has to be the tastiest roast I've had when dining out, for me the gravy is the crown on any roast , in this place the gravy is bottomless and stunning . For a treat we both went for the apple & damson crumble with a small saucepan of custard, was amazing . Would advise to book in advance , try it , you will not be disappointed 😋❤️👍
