   Always a great place to eat . Staff go out of their way to help. Feel chef is rushed sometimes . I believe hot plates is key to keeping food warm .... Definitely re-visit

   I ordered a sirloin steak to be cooked medium rare. When I cut into it it was very tough to the point that the steak knife I had couldn’t even cut it. I hate complaining so I never do but I was waiting for the waitress to come and ask how our food was and that never happened. The steak was also completely red inside and my wife even said that steak looks awful. I ate everything apart from the steak. When I went to pay I mentioned the steak to the bar person and she said she would speak to the manager, which she did and she said she would let us off with 50% of the cost of the steak. We didn’t even get an apology and when we paid there was no thankyou or sorry for your steak. It wasn’t until I’d got home that I thought how I shouldn’t have paid for the steak at all. But we live and learn. Because of the lack of apology and the way I was made to feel bad for complaining I won’t be going back to the malt shovel again.

   Truly lovely. We have just moved in to the area and thoroughly enjoyed our meal, so I have no doubt we will be back many times to come. My vegetarian partner was astonished at the choice available, being used to only one or two dishes at most restaurants. Curry, Fish, Gammon and cheesecake all perfect!

    As usual the food was lovely and plentiful. One small personal issue is the chicken lacked some flavour and held oil and ribs could have been cooked for longer. My partners mixed grill was cooked as asked and fat removed from meats as requested. There was plenty there
