"The delicious food was just what we needed, the nachos are to die for and the sticky toffee pudding with clotted cream is scrummy."

"The food was really good. We had the bangers and mash and the Mac and cheese. Excellent."
"Food was amazing, one of the nicest meals we have had all holiday."
Cons:
"the main course was absolutely awful cold to start with and the sauce on my ribs was so awful I could not eat my food"
"Food was average at best. With pudding being burnt."
"The Mac n cheese portion size was dismal! It was £8 and it arrived in a paper cup, lightly dusted with cheese and breadcrumbs."
"The side order of brisket and chips was really dry small cubes of beef my burger really dint taste like it was smoked it was dry."
"The food was pretty awful, 12.50 for a little bit of brisket in a bun."
"The 'Brisket' was thin slivers of what looked like topside that had been boiled. Tasted of nothing."
"The pulled pork was lacking in taste and was swimming in oil, the brisket was lovely and tender but again there was no taste to that either, just tasted like roast beef."
Atmosphere & Location

Cons:
"Felt a little pretentious and clinical for a holiday destination."
"Expensive for what you actually get."
"I would not want to try it on a busy summer bank holiday weekend as parking is very limited and its very close to a busy road."
"The only issue is the lack of parking on site, which could deter some visitors."
"Whilst we were there 6 people walked out as no staff to welcome them."
"Car park was also full - we had to wait for someone to leave to park."
"the car park isn't very big"
Value
Pros:
"Facilities are accessible and clean."
"Good choice of beers and ales too."
"Delicious food and good value! We got nachos to share and mac and cheese each and were not able to finish it off."
"Well worth the £11.95."
"Food is also available at a reasonable price for the area and at excellent value and extremely tasty."
"very reasonably priced"
"Good value for money made for an excellent holiday meal out for our party."
Cons:
"Went here Wednesday just gone, this place is pricey for what it delivers."
"For the amount of money we paid (£37 for the platter alone) I would expect a lot more in quantity and in tasty quality food, not something that tasted bland and unappetizing."
"Dangerous place to eat if you have any food allergies!"
"Very misleading pricing on the loaded fries section of the menu."
"Very expensive for what you get... two pints each and a cheeseburger each.. for the best part of 50 quid...??"
"pricey but you do get what you pay for"
"£45 for literally street food, and a few drinks? That would leave a sour taste in anyone's mouth."
