Food Quality
Pros:
"The fish and chips were outstanding. Fish to batter ratio was excellent with the batter taking pride of place being neither too thick or soggy."

"The food was excellent and generous portions."
"All the food was well cooked."
"The staff and the food was top quality."
"The food never disappointed."
"Had the carvery today and it was spot on! I had the turkey and it was really tasty, not dry or overcooked."
Cons:
"Eton mess sundae missing meringue and strawberries which as these are 2 of the 3 main ingredients, was somewhat surprising."
"The Mac & cheese was just pasta in a sauce I suspect out a jar again, it was tasteless."
"There was no meat at all on the ribs, just fat and the chicken that came with it tasted like it was from a packet and had been pumped with water."
"The food was awful. Frozen everything. Watery, soggy, frozen mixed veg, reheated roast potatoes."
"Food wasn't the best. Rock hard roast potatoes on the carvery and rock hard balls of stuffing."
"House curry was bland and came with no nan bread."
"I ordered a halloumi burger which was completely inedible, the Halloumi wasn’t cooked and the presentation was appalling a cold bun no salad or sauce."
