Atmosphere & Cleanliness

Pros:

Cons:

• "Didn't think atmosphere was that great to be honest."
• "The seats were ripped and dirty."
• "Place is in need of a real deep clean and repair!"

• "The toilets were dirty and the sinks looked like they hadn't been cleaned in days."
• "The whole place needed a good clean not just a whip round with a cloth and mop."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "Great value, good quality food and excellent service."
• "We two adults shared the ultimate combo with salad for free and the portion is massive that we can't even finish it although the food is wonderful."
• "The prices were reasonable. We were not pressured into leaving after the meal so could enjoy a leisurely chat."
• "Prices are good for what you get."
• "Very reasonably priced."
• "We'd had a free refill drink and 2 hot drinks all for under £35! Outstanding!"
• "Good value for money."

Cons:

• "We came in a group of four people on one table and the bill came to £82 but two of us selected the lunchtime deal and the other two selecting a meal each of the menu, we were charged full price for both the lunchtime menu deal too."
• "Fruit juice is also no longer included in the drinks price now charging £2 per glass of juice which is less than half a pint!"
• "When we was presented with the bill... we had not had the full discount applied as agreed and have been overcharged."
• "BUT!!! the scam of this place now is the parking... we had to pay £1 fee for just driving in and driving out, 9 mins in total."
• "The full rack of ribs was an insult! (Enough possibly to make me not wish to return). The portion was ridiculously tight and absolutely NOT a full rack."
• "The unlimited breakfast has become poor value for money, cold delivery and generally poor quality ingredients."
• "Very disappointing meal that cost us nearly £200."

Accessibility

Pros:

• "Easy access for wheelchair users and disabled parking right outside."
• "They have always been able to accommodate large bookings and there is always plenty of parking space."
• "Plenty of parking, which you need to validate on arrival using a touch screen at welcome point."

Cons:

• "Although staff usually find seating for myself and my wheelchaired wife, the lack of decent powerchair accessible tables is frustrating for staff and customer."
• "Toilet is clean but might be too small for wheelchair to access."
• "We were sat outside but it was also the smoking area - wasn't that nice to be having food surrounded by smokers so perhaps the smoking area could be elsewhere?"
