"Overall enjoyed it, but room for improvement! Very friendly welcome, but unfortunately we could barely hear a thing across our table once we were sat down as the noise from other tables carried really badly in a low ceilinged room. Nobody's fault, just the building design but wasn't great to be beside big party groups. Food was mainly fine, but it seemed a bit much to have to pay an extra £3 for chips to go with a (not great) macaroni cheese which already cost £14.45. appreciate cost of.living gone up amd all that, but... Fish and chips were good, turkey dinner could have been better. Only one pig in blanket, literally over half the meat was just skin and no cranberry sauce. Tried to get hold of someone but no luck, and given the lack of meat it wasn't worth the effort pursuing it. Staff were friendly, but we played second fiddle to the big groups such is the way of things in December, but not nice when you are out to supposedly celebrate a special occasion. We gave up after asking for the bill several times and then being encouraged to just get up and pay on way out, but got to say that if we had stayed for desserts, it would feel odd to have to go and look at them at a counter. Seemed to be mainly cakes and traybakes, and unfortunately the fact that they were in a cabinet didn't exactly give off the impression of freshness! I'd have gone back for the food as it was grand, but not willing to pay those prices and the fact that we were clearly second rate customers to the big groups (possibly not intentionally). Not how you win locals over and encourage them to return!"
