    I have eaten Sunday roast here in the past and it has been good. Now since they have got a new chef in the kitchen it has gone from good to fabulous. Very generous portion sizes of excellent food. If you like nice veg and varied selection you will not be disappointed. Having live music, an excellent glass of French rose wine all added up to a happy customer. Well done all 😊

    Shocking place... awful service and never got to try the food after waiting almost half an hour they eventually told us they couldn't take food orders because they had a large backlog.

    We had Sunday lunch which was good. We asked for plenty of gravy and got it on the plate and separate. Beef and pork were lovely. Setting was lovely. Perfect end to a weekend
