• "The food was not served until 12.35. The beef was very tough and uneatable."
• "We ordered our meals and drinks through the app. Our drinks were sat on the bar for 10 minutes so we went and got them ourselves as the waitresses just ignored it."
• "Menu was extremely limited due to staff being off with covid. We decided to give it a go and you could see straight away staff was struggling to keep up."

• "My family went for breakfast it was wonderful the staff were amazing and polite the food was great we spoke to Sheila the GM who along with her staff that morning were very hospitable it's a wonderful place if you want a spot of breakfast."
• "Sirloin steak was very fatty and full of gristle. After we finished eating and was finishing our drinks off one of the waitresses was constantly stood nearby staring at our table and it felt like she was wanting us to hurry up and leave so she could clear the table."

Cons:

• "Considering their stand had a wide range of ice creams, every single one of them was out of stock."
• "Unfortunately they never seem to have enough staff on to serve at the bar and take food orders, although the staff are friendly and helpful."
• "The staff were brilliant when I complained. I must say this place I can't normally falter it. It the best for a carvery. Just today was a big let down."
• "The surroundings are child friendly with a activity unit but don't expect them to eat much because there's plenty to do in the corner unless you seat more towards the front of the building."
• "We booked our table, Sunday 10 Dec. The wait/queuing time for the carvery was over 20 mins. Also a queue for drinks."
• "We rang beforehand to reserve a table and we were told we didn't have to reserve. Just turn up. When we arrived we were rudely told at the door that we should have reserved."
• "We went on a Saturday tea time. There was an hour wait for starters, another 40 min for mains, alot of the food was unavailable, portion sizes were shocking."
• "We came as a larger size table and had booked in advance, so no problem there except they only had one check in place at the front so had to walk threw the restaurant to check in."
