"Very good had glutenfree lambs shank on Sunday 26th September but goodness me they are jolly expensive on the drinks."
"Not cheap, but where is nowadays."
"The only reason that I've given 4 rather than 5 stars is that the drinks and food ordering could have been slightly quicker."
"I wanted Ham Egg and chips but they had no Ham so choose Sausage and Mash WELL I got 2 over cooked sausages and enough mash to fill an egg cup absolute rubbish meal"
"Would of given 5 stars if the steak we ordered was a bigger size and more leeks with the sausage and mash dish."
