• "Very poor 17 mins for drinks to be brought even after asking where they were."
• "Service was extremely slow, clearly insufficient staff."
• "Food took about 45mins to arrive with no explanation, when it did all of the roasts were not very warm, multiple potatoes were almost raw in the middle and the Yorkshires were in a similar state."
