Pros:
"The breakfast was an absolute bargain costing just £8.99 for an all you can eat cooked and continental breakfast with both kids eating free."

Cons:
"£10 for a pint of Carling and a large glass of wine that's quite expensive."
"Don't go here if your hungry portions are terrible and the price is shocking for what you get... I got the haddock it said large I've seen bigger gold fish at the fairground..."
"Bit more expensive then it should be."
"Prices too much. What's happened to prices, should do lunch menus 7 days a week, what makes a weekend more expensive with only main menu available."
"Food was horrible food came out really quick but was absolutely shocking for nearly 60 pound per person."
"Wife's lemon drizzle cake about the size of an after eight mint.. £29 for 2 mains, drinks & puds, more than I like to pay for a daytime meal."
"The food cost here used to be good but not anymore... 4 adults and 2 kids for microwave pub food would have been at least 90 odd."
