   The place was lovely and so were the staff. We both ordered steak. The plate contained steak, very overdone chips (even tasted like they had been refried a few times over) and 4 cherry tomatoes…. No veg. We ordered different sauces to go with the steak, when they came both looked the same colour, both had zero taste. I was going to speak with the lady who served us but nothing was asked if we enjoyed the meal. Tried the place but we wouldn’t go back. Over priced for the quality of food that was served!

   Was excited once I made my Valentines evening meal destination decision to be here but it left me very disappointed…. The place was well decorated and had a very cozy warm feeling to it but the customer service was not up to scratch. We felt like we had to explain our meal options to our server who even had a notepad to jot down and we even pointed out what we had chosen. Our starters arrived in good time and together part of the filling inside a duck spring roll was cold, but the rest was satisfactory however our next course was not. My partner had chose the Beef Bourgignon and I had chose the Lamb Rump and we decided on a side of triple cooked chips but of course it wasn’t that simple. My partners food arrived with a wrong main which obviously wasn’t the lamb rump so I had to sit and wait an extra 10 minutes the server had informed me it would be 15 minutes so to be fair 10 minutes was good time. It was an average meal nothing to scream about the lamb was cooked perfectly yet the accompaniments just lacked depth of flavour, the dauphinoise was bland, the ‘minted’ pees were barely minted and the red white sauce was just lacking in all aspects. Furthermore the ‘triple cooked chips’ did not infact arrive until we were both finished and they were simply on par with oven chips. Small portion, no deep colour you expect from triple cooked chips and bland, VERY bland. For a whopping £4? Once the chips came our server did not return to the table, ask for the feedback on the meal or the satisfactory of the customers under his due care. Our table got cleared at different times by a variety of servers but we were not offered the option of another drink, a dessert menu or the bill. For the price in which we paid considering when pricing a menu you take into account, the costing of the food, the labour and the customer service felt dissatisfied with the customer service.

   The food was first class and the service by Diane was excellent. One or two things on the menu we're not available but Diane offered alternatives which, when they came, were outstanding. All in all a most enjoyable evening.

   Food was excellent but it lacked any atmosphere and the service was far too slow. We had to signal that we wanted a dessert menu and then waited even longer to order it. I had to give upon the bill to catch a train leaving my friend to pay. Very friendly though. We changed table too as we chose one by the window originally but it was cold & draughty with a flickering light above us and my companions chair was too low for the table. A few minor changes could really make a huge difference.

    We visited with good friends, the atmosphere was perfect for us to be able to have a good catch up. The food was delicious, we had the Sunday Roast. Drinks were good and we will definitely return.
