"I had the chicken and bacon pie and my partner had the steak, both were to die for!"
"Their food was amazing, I had the beef roast and not only it was so tasty, Cooked in perfection but also had lovely details as sweet potato chips inside the yorkie and braised pulled beef on top of regular beef."
"The pork belly with crackling was divine, the tatties top drawer and the sauce and seasoning were perfect."
"All the food was amazingly fresh and each dish was equally delicious!"
"The mushroom wellington and the turkey were both delicious, and the bread and butter pudding was probably the best I’ve had!"

"They ran out of food by 8:30."

"The roast potatoes were beyond over cooked, to the point they were dark solid and hollow."

"The roast beef dinner consisted of 2 incredibly small slithers of beef, the potatoes were old and rock hard appeared to have been left in a warm oven for a number of hours."
