    I have visit twice now. The first food was amazing but there was a smell as you entered the venue. This time food was ok but a little over cooked and the smell was horrendous. We had to ask to be moved as the smell was so bad. They have a serious issue with their drains. However service was outstanding

    Good very good, service also good but a tad slow, although it was very busy. Overall, one of the best, if not the best carvery we have had, especially value for money!

    Food very good, service lets it down. Ordered cup of coffee which came out half full, when asked for more water was told, coffee had been put in a larger cup. Staff expected finished plates to be handed up the table to them, when they could go around the table. Would try again as local, willing to give another chance.
