"The staff behind the bar openly admitted to this being more chaotic than the previous traditional table booking arrangement."
"Would not normally post negative comments, we popped in for a quiet pint because reviews were good but unfortunately our experience wasn't good."
"The staff were a bit frazzled even though it seemed like a regular Saturday pace."
"Once your table is ready this does not mean you are able to order food. This can be another hour on top."
"Desserts 3 out of 5 not available."
Food Quality
Pros:
"Food is fantastic, reasonably priced and portions sizes are good."
"Location wise, this place could have been a tourist trap churning out rubbish food at premium prices, but it's not, the food is really good."
"Excellent food. Really good steak cooked really well with loads of chips and veg."
"The food however was brilliant. My ribeye steak was as good as any I've had anywhere."
"Food outstanding. My partner had the Ribeye, which was cooked to perfection."
"Best burger I’ve had in ages."
"The food was just amazing, real home cooked and fresh."
Cons:
"Food not fit for dog."
"Rip off, charged £14 for two pints of Corona which we thought was very dear."
"Had quiche of the week for starters, it was more like week old quiche also a very small slice for the money."
"The rest of ours felt that our burgers were just basic, kind of thing you could cook yourself, definitely not worth £16.95!"
"My cherry pie although very nice literally had 2 cherries in it. The rest was syrup/Jam."
"Vegetarian option ‘chickpea tagine’ was horrible and not worth £17 at all."
"The Directors was undrinkable. It didn't look, taste or smell anything like Directors."
