    Really lovely roast, big Yorkshire's. Very tasteful, table near the fire. Been here a few times and we always enjoy the roast. The server was warm and friendly. Will book again soon.

    Despite excellent service from the chap who attended to us, the food was disappointing. A small menu (which was fine) was made smaller when a a number of choices were unavailable. We made our choices from what was available but only 1 sausage & mash left so one of us had to rethink. Went for a starter in the end, moules mariniere, only to be told there was no bread so chips instead. The obe sausage and mash served came with tepid/cold mash, though the sausages were very good (and hot). We then asked for the desert menu to be told there were no deserts available! Oh well, we'll order a coffee each but, sorry no hot drinks available! Maybe it was a bad day but at 5pm, wouldn't have expected so much to be 'unavailable'.

    A great choice for a pre-gig meal if you're off to Dreamland afterwards, or if you're not! The food was excellent, with good-sized portions. Our group had the Fish and Chips, the Short Ribs and the Bull's Head Cheeseburger, and we'd highly recommend all three. Our table was ready when we arrived, the staff were polite and attentive, and the food came out promptly and all together, which was key for us. Good friendly atmosphere and decent beer selection too! We'll definitely be back.

    Staying in Margate for 3 days this weekend, the Sunday lunch was recommended to us, we were a party of 3 on Sunday 20th September. Food was delicious, service was slow. My friend didn't want some of the vegetables on her plate, apparently the chef won't do amendments under any circumstances! I hought this was very inflexible and rigid, my friend is visually impaired so I had to remove the vegetables she didn't like for her. I wouldn't call not putting the veg on the plate as an amendment. Alcohol is very expensive, I asked for still water assuming it would be tap water, it was bottled at a cost of almost £9! I can buy a bottle of wine for less

    Great drinks, great food, great staff. Couldn't fault a single thing. They had run out of the vegetarian option for Sunday Lunch but offered a delicious alternative, so everyone left happy. Would highly recommend and we will be back.
