    We booked here to celebrate my parents golden wedding anniversary and my Sons 21st birthday on the same day. This should have been a lovely evening. Unfortunately we were waiting for our meals for over an hour. Eventually we were told that they would be 10 mins longer. After eating and asking for the bill we were told they were sorry for the wait and they had a big party in and their orders have been placed first. It was an underwhelming and disappointing evening and we won’t be returning.

    6 of us went for Sunday roast, I had been before and recommended we go today. I went for the triple meats, beef, pork and turkey and was not disappointed along with the veggies etc it was brilliant. I highly recommend.

    Lovely pub/restaurant. Not too big, so the atmosphere was very cosy and welcoming. We had a Sunday roasts which were amazing. The food and service were excellent. Will definitely be returning.

    Had a lovely lunch here. Nice place but didn’t like that there was a baby making some noise however the family left after about 15 mins. Thought inappropriate for a staff member to be hoovering around where the baby had been -didn’t apologise to diners & there were several but was mainly in our earshot. Can understand the need to tidy the area but would have been prudent to notify customers as a matter of courtesy-I’d expect it in McDonald’s but not Lesters. Also think the rearranging tables right by where we were eating wasn’t appropriate Food was very good and a menu that was a bit different I had a vegetable filled pithivier -very tasty My husband had the beef which he said was very good. Cost was reasonable Service excellent Would definitely recommend & hopefully visit again

    Ordered cod and chips, no taste to the fish and turned to mush like frozen fish defrosted. Fatty rack of lamb. Was almost charged for a bottle of wine we did not have.
