Atmosphere & Setting
Pros:
"The setting of the Pullman carriage is unique."
"This must be very rare in dining out and makes the meal more interesting."
"The usp for this restaurant is the 2 train carriages in the back garden that have been set out for diners."
"Dined in one of their railway carriages! Super comfy chairs and felt we were thrown back to the 50’s nice and warm."
"We had the pleasure of dining on one of the carriages, which made for one of the most endearing and comfortable dining experiences I've ever had."
"The train carriage was a real special atmosphere."
"Absolutely loved the old train carriages."
Cons:
"I used to love this place. But the carriage chairs and carpets are becoming tired and scruffy with abit of a musty smell."
"Carriage was cold."
"Also it was quite cold in the area we were sitting."
"The carriage where we sat had the ceiling paint in need of refresh, the seats are close to needing refresh with upholstery and cushions."
"The carriages are a nice touch but a bit cramped."
"We sat in the train cart but the table wasn't very clean and it was quite cold."
"The train sections look old and need updating."

"VERY SHORT STAFFED."
"Took 45 minutes to have orders taken for starters and mains."
"Service was a little slow at times, but they did have a wake in before us."
"The wait for some one to bring us menus and take our drinks order took a while."
"Our waitress looked liked she had just received a phone call saying her favorite pet had just died and couldn't even muster a fake smile."
Food Quality
Pros:

"The main meal me & my husband had lasagne with salad & Chip's. It was lovely & very hot."
"Consistently good food here in nice, friendly surroundings."
"Food was amazing- I had breaded goats cheese and then the beef stew with chunky chips and it was absolutely delicious."
"The food was tasty and of high quality."
"The Sunday roast was delicious. The roast potato's and Yorkshire pudding was crispy and the gravy not too watery."
"The food was wonderful, perfectly cooked and beautifully presented."
Cons:
"I had the 'crispy pork belly' which was not good unfortunately."
"The cheesy leeks come separately in a bowl - the world's smallest bowl for a 6 person portion and not even cheesy, just swimming in warm milk."
"Unfortunately had to knock a star off as the middle of mum's 'creamy' mash was dry and cold in the middle (clearly microwaved)."
"Felt like most the ingredients used were from a tin in all honesty, not to mention it took a very long time for something so poor."
"The food a let down."
"The steak baguette is was dry and the meat was fatty."
"Had cod ball with cheese dip but no cod just mashed potato and dip tasted like water."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Food was well priced and for the two of us, two courses and drinks it was approx £45."
"We called in yesterday lured by the sign 2 Courses for £11:95 we thought that was a good deal... anything else was available coming in at around £20:00"
"Especially good value at the moment on a Mon, Tues, Wednesday with the government Help out to eat out."
"A fantastic place for a meal. Excellent value and home cooked food."
"Very reasonably priced for the quality of food and drink."
"The price for three adults having a 3 course with drinks were very reasonable, considering the quality of the meal."
"The prices are reasonable."
Cons:
"The deserts were good but over priced."
"£15 for a birds eye fish and oven chips is a little OTT."
"When paying the bill we questioned it thinking it was rather expensive."
"Was expensive for quality."
"Price.... expensive for what it was, went home hungry 😕."
"Some of the prices are a bit steep, £6.25 for a liqueur coffee and desserts at £5.95 a bit much for what you get."
"The prices in my opinion are quite high and you could get better meals perhaps another 5 miles down the road for cheaper."
