    Food was ok. Steaks and veggies were over cooked unfortunately, but chips and sauces good. Some confusion from staff regarding dessert availability, and so we ended up not worrying about it. Nuts in some sweets but not listed on menu. Staff member taking orders was friendly and tried to be helpful as possible. Not a bad vibe over all inside venue.

    Went for dinner on a Friday night. The venue was half full with two groups of 10 people. Standard menu and pricing. Kids area was great and well used by children however adults didn’t appear to supervise children as we did. Mind you the children were well behaved. My son enjoyed the colouring. Meals were a good size however they weren’t very hot, lukewarm which was disappointing. The flavour was good. We didn’t have dessert as the options were very afternoon style eg slices and scones. Would I go again? I’d probably give it another try and hope it was just an off night.

    Hi Nichole, Thanks for your honest review, we have passed on your feedback to our kitchen team regarding the meals not being hot. In relation to the dessert menu, it is on the bottom right, inside our bistro menu and has sticky date pudding, apple and rhubarb crumble, chocolate and hazelnut lava cake and a trio of sorbet. We also offer slices, scones and other sweet treats from our display cabinet. Again, thank you for the feedback and we look forward to welcoming you back again and hopefully the experience is a little better.

    A great place to have lunch with family! The food is served quickly, and the prices are very reasonable. I ordered a senior-sized fish and chips for my mother, and the portion was much larger than expected. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
