• "The food platters (a mix of meat and veg options) that we ordered were delicious and good portion sizes."

Cons:

• "The food was nothing amazing, the roast chicken was dry, small portions for the roast pork."
• "Terrible roast dinner, honestly one of the worst I’ve ever had."
• "The Sunday roast was nothing special, lots of gristle on the beef and bad reheated roast potatoes."
• "Vegetarian sunday roast is not good! The nut roast had a weird consistency and tasted like a flapjack."

Cons:

• "One of us ordered a beef Sunday roast and after 90 min we were told that they have run of out beef so they had to have a chicken instead."
• "The Sunday roasts took almost 2 hours (yes, 2 hours!!) and when they came they had run out of vegetables so they have us some fries as substitute."

Cons:

• "Whilst the food was good at a fair price there wasn't much atmosphere at midday."
