Value
Pros:
"This was one of the better ones. And a reasonable price as well."

"It's location just down the road from Bristol airport means that if you have an early flight booked and want to stay the night, or just get a decent meal without paying airport prices this is the place to go!"

"Great value £12.95 for a lovely roast, would recommend to anyone!"

"£40 for two roast dinners with about 3 carrots 3 broccoli and 3 cauliflower between TWO people!"
"Shocking!!! £50 for 3 roast dinners. Meat dry, potatoes looked like they'd been re-heated and the veg, dry carrots and what I can only presume were parsnips were dry and crispy."
"We we over charged for meals we didn’t have and because 2 people couldn’t make it we were charged for the food they would have eaten."
"Premium prices yet not up to the hype."
"Over priced food with very poor standard of cooking although the customer service was very good."
"The cost of breakfast is an additional cost so I do feel they do need to update the website as it wasn't value for money & very restricted."
