They didn’t seem aware of our booking. Barely any vegetables and what was left was cold. No roast potato’s and Yorkshire’s were like pancakes. Asked for a sweet white wine and got given a non alcoholic red …

Food was dreadful. I had to ask for started bowls to be removed and get clean cutlery from next table. No ambience, music playing was depressing. All veg & yorkshires were frozen not home made. Looked and tasted vile. Vegan gravy not vegan choice of main ( no, I'm not vegetarian just something I noted). Didn't eat after emptying a 2 year out of date horseradish sauce over my meal. No order to the lay out of a Sunday roast. Paid for drinks and left.

Service was adequate, waitress did not know what the fish was with the fish and chips, and no offer to find out when asked! The curry was nice, but should have come with rice, poppadom and naan bread. The naans turned out to be tortilla wraps! Service was very slow, especially for drinks Restaurant area is tired and needs refreshing

Arrived for our carvery lunch and we’re greeted by smiling and attentive staff, free first drink was an unexpected bonus, food was a nice mix of well cocked offerings and we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Looking forward to another booking sometime soon.

A pleasant Sunday lunch price very reasonable for a basic meal. Main course very nice lots of selection Yorkshire puddings a bit stodgy. Selection of sweets nice could of done with some cream as an alternative to custard. No sweet spoons had to use soup spoons. Overall good value.

Was our second visit , this time quality of food had dropped & there was no service at all , had to clear own plates. Just no staff seem to be in the dining area constantly, just one member of staff rushing through every now and then. wasn’t offered our free drink that came with the carvery deal. Even for the £10 three courses with what is actually on offer isn’t great value for money
