Came here on a recommendation from our Hotel and glad we listened. Food was perfect and the flavours in the Sauce amazing. Extremely well priced for what it was. Do yourself a Flavour and pop in!

We were a party of 6 that arrived with no booking. The cheerful hostess (maybe Gina?) made us feel very welcome as if we were good friends dropping round (unexpectedly) for dinner. All our meals were generous in size and delicious. The service by all...More

An enjoyable Sunday evening meal - we both partook of the roast meal (my wife, the lamb and I had the pork) which was good, wholesome food.

I am coeliacs and when I approached the manager they were excellent and cooked my meal separately. I couldn't fault there understanding and service to keep my health safe. Hubby is not coeliacs and he also really enjoyed the food and service

Fried chicken needed seasoning. very plain but crunchy and cooked well. Chips also lacking salt and not crunchy (the way I like them anyway). Same goes for the gravy. Lots of cool old pics on the walls and reading paraphernalia. mixed themes.

I am disappointed that you did not enjoy your food. As I keep telling people, please advise your hosts wherever you go that there is a problem which allows for a remedy to take place at the time.

I assume that the Cappucino was the only problem and that you enjoyed the rest of your breakfast. Next time please tell us and we will remedy the issue straight away.
