"Thankfully our waitress Lily was lovely and attentive."
Cons:
"The staff need better training and there was not any indication of a senior member of staff who would be coordinating service."

Cons:
"Was horrendous, the food was disgusting! ask for a large meal! the chips where cold and about 10 chips."
"The meals were bland and not at all nice to look at. Obviously microwaved."
"The main meal followed and it wasn't great at all. My wife's Fish and Chips was mediocre at best."
"We both ordered half spit roast chicken. At the first bite I knew the chicken was 'off'."
"The said chips according to the menu are 'triple cooked' these weren't even cooked once!"
"The breakfast needs some work, eggs are kinda tasteless and the sausages aren’t good either."
"The triple cooked chips were greasy and tasteless, the chicken was dry and the gravy had a thick skin on it."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"The atmosphere is authentic English restaurant. Clean and spacious."
"Great place to go for a relaxed atmosphere with family or friends."

"Really nice family eaterie, but that also makes it a little noisy if you want a quiter meal."
"It’s a cosy area with comfortable seating, clean tables."
"Lovely Christmas atmosphere."
"Atmosphere is amazing here, if you don't want to wait for a table you can sometimes find a table at the bar."

"Once seated, my wife and children and I all agreed that it felt cold inside."
"Other tables around us had customers with coats on etc."
"The place was cold, most people had their jackets on."
"Freezing cold no heating on and no-one cared about it."
"Met up with friends for dinner at 6.30pm. The only negative thing was that the 4 of us were very cold."
"The only problem was the restaurant was extremely cold despite keeping our jackets on."
"Plus, it quickly become very busy & for some folk like me, it ain't ideal + it'd be nice if they had a quiet corner."
