a week agoMark the manager made my night. Honestly the best waiter I’ve ever had. He was funny, charismatic and polite, ensuring that we had everything we could need for the dinner. The food was brilliant, especially the fish and chips which were delicious. Mark even sang for us and was extremely entertaining. The atmosphere was amazing and the service was too. Mark is a beer specialist, he sold us on of his best beers in which we indulged in thoroughly. EVERYTHING was perfect and it was probably one of the best dinner experiences ever. Thanks to mark and his whole team for making our evening and making us feel at home.

3 months agoSuper dog friendly restaurant with a large beer garden. We sat outside and the dogs had a doggie roast dinner each and were given lots of fuss. Colouring crayons and page given for 2yo too which is always a lovely touch. Very friendly staff. 2 small things would be there was no check back on the food (everything was fine though!) and the dog roast dinners aren’t on the canine menu it just so happened another staff member mentioned them when I was placing an order. Overall definitely recommend a visit for a great Sunday lunch!

9 months agoWhen we went half of the menu was off, was really looking forward to going as it was my mother's birthday. Staff did try to make the experience better, so can't complain about them. But the food even though was edible it wasn't anything spectacular considering the lack of stuff missing from there menu. I will give another try as they stated that a change over of staff in the kitchen was the reason behind this. Fingers crossed we will get a better experience next time

a month agoVisited on pizza night and the quality of food was excellent. Everyone that served us was polite and friendly. The experience was lovely and we'd definitely visit again. Visited again...the food was still great but some of the service was VERY weird. Wasn't really looking for a singing waiter and made the whole experience feel a little uncomfortable. Same experience for every table and I'm sure some people love it but maybe read the room and tailor your behaviour to suit. The rest of the waiting staff were fine though.

2 months agoI'm very disappointed, really. Came here 2 years ago for Sunday lunch, and it was lovely. Visited on a Saturday night with guests and was really let down and disappointed. Very small and basic menu. Cold bread. No butter. Fish chowder had minimum fish and half a new potato in it. It's just bland overall and poorly presented, nothing like some of the pictures shown. I'm not sure if the chef was off or what and hugely overpriced for what we had. The place lacked atmosphere and only had a few tables taken, and it's so sad to see a place go so downhill. Unfortunately, we won't be going back again.
