"We have been to this restaurant on different occasions over many years and were booked in for Christmas Dinner, second sitting this year 2023. We have always been well looked after. Sadly this Christmas was a complete let down with a hugely disappointing, very expensive Christmas meal. We arrived as requested at 3.30pm and were taken to our table where cutlery and crockery were missing. Although the table was finally set we still had to request crackers during the meal and additional cutlery. While the starters were enjoyed we were not offered bread, although watched other tables being offered it. Our order of 5 turkey mains were varying in size, either just 2 to 4 sprouts , not ‘vegetables’ as advertised and just a few halves of small roasted new potatoes, rather thin slices of turkey, one cocktail chipolata. No sauces offered. The vanilla crème brûlée which was advertised as being served with a blood orange sorbet. It was infact served with strawberry ice cream and no notification by waiting staff that there was a change on the menu.The crème brûlée had no burnt sugar on it . The tables were packed tightly and to the point staff had difficulty in manoeuvring around everyone. I really felt for the young staff who were trying their best. When booking we had asked if they wanted us to pre book our meals, but said it wasn’t needed . Most probably the manager had not thought through correct quantities required for Christmas Day, and the result was a very poor offering. Sadly our patronage will now not be supporting this local business."

"Disappointing. We have had many nice meals here so was looking forward to our evening back here. First thing we were waiting mins for water and drinks which we had asked for twice. Second thing was our starters had arrived … the table next to ours had already sent back their calamari starter as it wasn’t cooked enough. Our calamari arrived and we asked if it could be cooked a little more so off it went never to return. My daughters starter had also arrived but as she ordered something different after mins of waiting for ours to arrive she tucked into hers. Eventually managed to track down a waitress to ask where our calamari was it turned up in takeaway boxes. Off it goes again … another mins I had to again try and grab a waitresses attention to ask where our starter was. By this point we’ve been at our table nearly an hour and a half. I said enough was enough as there was no sign of our food arriving and if we could have the bill minus the service charge. The manageress came over as she had been told we weren’t happy and in fairness could not apologise enough. I did explain things would have been better if their staff were more focused on customer service and just keeping customers informed as to what was going on etc as it was so obvious how long we were sitting there without food .. or drinks ! They did not charge us for our bottle of wine or the one starter we had. Overall I think they were having a bad night as we were hearing other tables complaining and as we were walking out the door another customer was asking for the Manager. I hope they get back to how they were as it’s a lovely place to go."
