• "The carvery server's attitude was appalling, as was the pizza chef."
• "The girl on till didn't seem to know how to operate card machine, and there was no atmosphere."
• "Firstly the carvery service itself was terrible que of about 10 people and no ‘chefs’ to be seen."
• "The aim is clearly to get you in, get you fed and then get you gone maximising food sales at the cost of customer experience."
• "How on earth can you enjoy the experience when this happens!!! Will not return and we have friends in the village who will never go there."

• "Lovely atmosphere very friendly staff."
• "The atmosphere was wonderful and we have both said we will definitely be returning for a meal very soon!"
• "First thing I noticed was lovely atmosphere very friendly staff."

Cons:

• "We arrived on a hot day... we could barely breathe, to be told that the windows 'didn't work'."
• "The only down fall was the tables needed a good cleaning."
• "Most of the seating was shabby and uncomfortable."
• "Bad food, bad seating/ambience, bad attitudes!! Would not return & certainly will not be recommending."

• "Now it has no atmosphere, the food is mediocre at best."
