Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Have enjoyed eating here several times before this time the food was excellent but the restaurant was cold on a frosty November evening you need more heaters in the conservatory during the winter months

Most of the serving staff were friendly but one waiter has been consistently surly and rude on more than one occasion. The food was very disappointing .

Ordered an online takeaway, no problem, emailed back to accept order, all good, noted on takeaway menu that a discount of 10% was offered on collection orders. However, staff did not want to honour said discount because order was placed via website!. I explained to...staff that it was still being collected ! So discount is valid, i was going to pay full price when staff exclaimed that i was being"funny" with him. So i retrieved my money and advised them that i would not return again. They lost out on a £66.00 order. For being rude. Their loss not mine.More

The food was good as usual, but, the visit was spoiled by the waiter who took our order. He was rude, brusque and unfriendly, in sharp contrast to the other waiters who smiled and were polite. This was not our first visit, and were left...disappointed as we had taken friends for dinner.More
