• "Nice atmosphere too."
• "A friendly relaxing atmosphere during the day."

Cons:

• "We also felt squashed in to the place, we had to ask people to move out from the table to be able to go to the bathroom."
• "The smoking area was a little closed in with metal bars on one side facing the street."
• "Only downsize was it was a little pricey as cost just over £100 for 4 of us."
• "Seating space can get limited at times."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff, with their welcoming smiles and attentive service, make me feel like royalty."
• "Food was amazing, service was really good, only mild criticism was those whose first drinks were cocktails, lost 15 minutes of drinking time whilst being made."
• "The customer service received tonight, from both Joe and Liz, was amazing."
• "The staff are absolutely fantastic with the young people that attended the disco once a month for learning disabilities."

Cons:

• "But the slow service, we got tired of waiting and genuinely thought about just paying and leaving without drinking the cocktails we'd ordered."
• "Poor service was being run by mostly trainees, and one lass who was experienced and she was absolutely wonderful and did a great job but she was left with all the newbies."
• "Food was awful, very poorly cooked, i sent it back to the kitchen after a few mouthfuls."
• "Food was ok but a small portion for the main course at £13.95 with no vegetables at all. Apparently these are extra."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "I ordered a pork and crackling Sunday roast it was truly the best roast I've ever been served, perfectly cooked and so much on the large plate."
• "Even the butter was amazing. We both had a 'big breakfast' and it was certainly that."
• "Every dish is a masterpiece, crafted from fresh, locally sourced ingredients that burst with flavor."
• "Fantastic food and excellent friendly service. I’ve never had a meal here that wasn’t exceptional."

Cons:

• "However I also ordered skin on fries - they were burned and bitter - most were crispy and either black or dark brown."
• "The 'Homemade sweet potato & herb bean burger' I would recommend you avoid. The patty is a circle of lukewarm, mushy sweet potato peppered with the odd whole bean, no seasoning detected at all."
• "Sunday lunch awful, roast potatoes brown overcooked several times and still had to pay full price."
• "Staff are lovely but I had a salmon fish cake and there was no salmon in it, just potato."
