Cons:

• "To charge £9.50 each for 3 prawns and 3 scallops is we felt very overpriced."

• "The food was terrible, we sent the beef dinner back as it was tough, fatty, and mildly warm."
• "The scallops in cheesy garlic sauce were way underdone."
• "The beef in the pie was so stingy that it was unedible, it was like trying to eat rubber."

• "Nice location but a bit pricey - just shy of £8 for a pint and a tea."
• "Also overpriced and the side of salad was all lettuce with one piece of cucumber and two cherry tomatoes, also not great value for money."
