"UPDATE! We were eventually asked to come in for a complimentary meal now the new chef was up to speed. I am happy to say that things have significantly improved! I would now recommend. Worst food We have ever had. We took the mother-in-law for her 70th birthday at the end of last year. The place was freezing cold and the ceiling leaking. The food was shocking for the price we paid. We complained and were told that the head chef had left and that we would be invited back once things were “sorted”. We never received a call, not that we would go back."

"We had booked the table almost 3 weeks in advanced. When we arrived we were sat on one of the lower tables where half of our table wasn’t under the canopy it had been raining most of the day so we asked if we could move to the free table under the raised part of the beer garden under the heaters which was declined. We were advised another table had booked this, yet there isn’t any option to book specific tables on booking. It seemed the table had been reserved for a regular, in my view. We had to ask 2 members of staff about a table move and it took around 10 minutes before our drinks order or menus were given. We ordered drinks and food (including paid side sauces) and no sauces were given when food arrived. I had to wait around 10 minutes and ask 3 different members of staff for the sauces we had ordered. Equally when our food was given our drinks were just about empty no offer or order for drinks. We only ended up having 2 drinks in the two hours we were there due to the lack of service had staff been attentive to our table we would have had opportunity to order a lot more. The food was amazing, I can’t fault that at all. However the very disappointing service is enough to put me off booking again. It may be that the table is out of staffs eyeline hence the lack of service perhaps make sure if you book you’re on the raised platform rather than on the sides!"

"I met up with friends at this restaurant for a meal, and this was my second visit. Last time, I had the steak Guinness pie, which was fantastic. This time, I decided to try the chicken tikka masala pie. I have to say, it is one of the best pies/meals I have had in a long time. The crust was perfect, with plenty of chicken and sauce inside. Everyone else thoroughly enjoyed their meals, and we all left with empty plates. The staff were very attentive, always checking if we needed more drinks and if everything was OK. Overall, we had a great night and will definitely be back."

"Thank you, Becky, for the wonderful service and delicious breakfast. We didn't want a large meal, so we inquired about the breakfast options. Becky explained that the portions were small, designed more for seniors, but she assured us it would be no problem to accommodate us. I must say, it was just perfect, especially after spending two hours at the hospital. The breakfast came with a fudge cake, which we declined, but Becky kindly offered to box it up for us to take home. We're also grateful for her help in finding my mom's bank card, which was quite the adventure in itself! When we got home and opened the cake, we were amazed at how huge it was. Becky is truly an asset to this establishment—so bubbly and helpful, along with another staff member who assisted us. We will definitely be back. Excellent service and food. Thank you! x Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"
