"It cost £43 for a main and dessert for 2 people and it wasn't even nice food."
"The food was cold, and in some cases like the cauliflower cheese the cauliflower was pretty much raw."
"Our main meals were not very nice at all and it wasn’t good value for price."
"The meat was chewy and full of gristle, the veg was cold and what little gravy there was was thin and flavourless."

"The toilets were not the best."
"We sat at our table in a very cold room because the heating was broken."

"Food is extremely expensive for what it is however food was enjoyable and no complaints."
"In my opinion this meal should've been no more then £9.95 max I do not think an average family could afford to eat here."

"Wife’s Scampi was no more than a £8.99 regular pub meal for £5 more. Nothing spectacular."
