Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food was great, loved the scotch egg and the roast dinner was great too."
  • "The food and service were outstanding. Every dish was perfect, extremely well cooked and seasoned with a perfect balance of flavours."
  • "The food was delicious. Compliments to the staff in all areas from the bar to the waiting staff and the chefs."
  • "The starters were very good, the duck (though it was the thinnest piece I've ever seen) was tasty, and the Scot Egg was also very nice."
  • "Food was delicious and they made me feel special with free champagne and a congratulations plate at the end."
  • "Food was very good and so was the service."
  • "From the warm welcome at the start, to the attentive & friendly service from Emily, great food and a good selection of drinks."
  • "All very hearty dishes and the best nut roast I've had in a long time."

Cons:

  • "The main course was a bit disappointing, both of our dishes were under seasoned, cooked well but very bland."
  • "The only thing I would improve is that the yorkshire puddings were a bit over cooked/crispy to my liking but that could just be personal preference."
  • "The restaurant and service was spot on though, all the staff were so attentive and polite."
  • "The steak was average, gaucho pricing but didn't meet that level of quality."
  • "The food itself was lovely but the service was incredibly slow. We were at our table for over 2.5 hours, and it took an hour to receive our starters."
  • "The food was okay, nothing bad, but nothing great either. There's only a choice between beef and chicken. I found the chicken dry."
  • "The beef was excellent, served pink just as we liked it. Accompaniments complemented the beef."
  • "Had the perfect Sunday afternoon! Food was spectacularly good our server Beckham was polite friendly and attentive."

Service

Pros:

  • "Fantastic lunch with great service. Good reasonable selection of wines plus great Bib Gourmand offer."
  • "Even the younger members of staff were extremely knowledgeable about the food and beverage menus."
  • "The waitress was attentive, but the main course was a letdown."
  • "Only shortfall really was the length of time it took to get hold of the bill at the end."
  • "The service was very good, and the hostess immediately agreed with us and turned on the aircon."
  • "The staff are very professional and polite with a human side."
  • "Food and service both excellent. The menu includes a varied and very good selection of different 'plates'."
  • "We enjoyed an excellent meal served by lovely staff."

Cons:

  • "It’s a shame because the food is very good, but they definitely need more staff for a busy Sunday service."
  • "The service started well, then we were almost forgotten about."
  • "The only downside was the service. One of the longest lunches I’ve ever had, the wait between starters and mains was painful."
  • "I counted a minimum of 6 staff floating around at gone 3pm in the afternoon not one said hello or asked if we required anything."
  • "Very disappointed. The staff where ok, but the food was below standard."
  • "Service was fast and friendly. The food was surprising and delicious. This was an old pub but has been refurbished to a high standard."
  • "We waited 40 minutes for drinks. We asked after them on 4 separate occasions. We had finished starters by the time they came."
  • "The staff were beyond rude - at one point a waiter asked us to move tables and said ‘can’t you just move now’.."
