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.

Unfortunately this isnt a great review on this occassion. Me and my family usually really enjoy coming here for dinner the food has always been good quality and value for money. TBH last night was not great they had live music on and as we...were beside a speaker it was almost deafining but we understand it was live music so no real complaints there. The food was ordered all 5 steaks were cooked well done 4 were requested medium and one medium rare so all 5 were wrong. My partner and i werent overly hungry so we ordered a platter to share the ribs were tough as old boots along with the dry tough chili chicken and goujons. The lettuce was fatastic i must say. My father and sister had asked for garlic chips and they came no garlic so they served melted garlic butter to put our own on but there was no hanfle so burnt the hand off you trying to pour over chips. Service was just okay. Not sure if i will return in a hurry as normally really good.More

Strange I've never wrote a review! Lunch was £10 now £13 but don't be put of by that as it's still good value. Multi choice though my favourite is the steak sandwich. Comes with nice chips, battered onion rings and gravey or peppered sauce. Recommended.

I’d heard about food being good here, but never gave it much credence. How wrong I was!! Booked a table for Saturday evening and quickly seated and drinks ordered. Lovely big stove giving out lots of heat, nice atmosphere with not too loud background music.....then the FOOD. Yummmm. I’d the steak sandwich ( £10) and the boss had a burger. Both were excellent and served with lovely sides of chips, salad and onions. I’ve had similar meals or worse for twice that price at other local restaurants so they don’t cut corners. Our waitress, Darcy, was great too and served us with a smile. We’re an older couple, but felt completely at ease as everyone was so friendly. We will most DEFINITELY be back.More
