Food Quality

Pros:

• "Good choices on menu. Fair prices."
• "The food was really nice and came out at in a timely manner."
• "We didn't have to wait long for the food and it was delicious."
• "The food that we had was excellent but there is a big BUT in all of this."

Cons:

• "Pretty much all alcohol in the menu was out of stock which was a little embarrassing for us and the waitress I think."
• "The pork itself was grey, bland in flavour and the fat was not cooked off whatsoever, leaving it congealed on top of the meat."
• "The pizza was nice but the Hunters chicken was appalling."
• "Quality of the food was not great, behaviour of customers even worse, wandering around with no face coverings."
• "When it did come it was poorly presented and overcooked. I could’ve done better at home."
• "Soup was cold and roast Sunday lunch very forgettable with reheated meat and was pretty tasteless."
• "The Turkey was cold and the cauliflower was so raw that you couldn't even cut it to eat it."

Ambience & Comfort

• "Went for a Sunday lunch with the family in December. No heating so we were all cold from the minute we arrived."

• "The room was damp and freezing cold."
• "The meals were fine but us and other diners had to eat whilst wearing our coats or having them over our knees as it was so cold inside."
