Cons:

• "We were so excited to try a roast here only to be absolutely let down, the food was absolutely awful."
• "I ordered medium to rare steak and chips, my steak was cold not warm but cold."
• "Toby carvery better unfortunately, meat was dry, no mash, rationed gravy, overrated and very expensive."
• "The Sunday roast was very nice and plentiful but we're amazed and unhappy to see that VAT at 20% was additional and not added to the prices on the menu."
• "For £70 for 4 roast dinners you got 1 Yorkshire pud, 1 carrot, 1 parsnip, 1 piece of broccoli, 1 stuffing ball, 1 small slice each of pork, chicken and beef, 3 roast pots each, bowl of red cabbage and gravy and had to listen to someone's dog keep barking in the restaurant."
• "You do get a proper portion for £15 roasts dinner for sure. Fresh vegs but letdown by the roast potatoes and the beef slices- potatoes weren’t hot enough nor crispy; beef were thick but chewy."
• "Expensive! £10.20 for 2 toasted teacakes with jam, 1 tea and 1 coffee, never paid this amount for the same thing, couldn't see a menu up anywhere which is not very helpful."
• "Location brilliant next to a caravan holiday park - with sea views- service ok - food cooked fresh - food was bland - no dressing- salmon with too much peppers and toritzo sausage killed the flavour - chicken was dry and over cooked - caper sauce too much over powered everything- on a good point wedges ok - other guests complained BLAND."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Staff were very nice, friendly and attentive."
• "The staff were so friendly and attentive and the quality of the food and drink was exceptional as well as extremely good value for money."

• "Great food and drink and we all enjoyed the live music. Good value for what we had."
• "Staff were brilliant and couldn't be more helpful."
• "Really friendly staff, amazing food and big portions."

Cons:

• "The service. Initially very good, but they had a band playing in the courtyard and kind of forgot that there was still a restaurant running. We regularly had to wait 20+ minutes for more drinks."
• "I was so disappointed as for weeks I've wanted to try this place. I was upset that we had to sit outside. I was upset my food was cold. Nothing was good at all."
• "Ordered 2 Scotch egg starters after checking specifically if they would be soft eggs. 1 was but mine wasn't. I hate hard eggs. The outside was AMAZING tho. But as it was being sent back I felt I shouldn't eat it. By the time I got the new one, everyone else had finished their starters."
• "Although I understand that there are two sittings for lunch, I was told I could not order food when I was ready to despite booking a table."
• "I waited weeks for this reservation. Arrived early but was told they did not have my reservation but not only us there was also a family of 4 the same."
• "We have visited this cafe a few times, firstly its a campsite and they need to bring their prices down, plus it seems to be closed more than its open, puts people off dropping in."
• "Just had a delicious sharing roast and it was amazing. It is a fantastic size and the meat is amazing. These guys kept us going in lockdown with their delivery of roasts, so it was lovely to be able to see them and have a roast in their restaurant."
• "We have just had our Christmas dinner here the food was amazing staff were very polite and attentive and the whole experience was just how you would want at Christmas everything about the hungry bear was great and we will definitely be returning thanks to you all for a terrific day."
