"We booked this meal for wedding anniversary and booked it 3 weeks ago. We left our phone number with them. We arrived to the restaurant only to see it has changed hands !!!!!!! It is now an Italian named Bella Vita . We wanted an evening meal and had already picked out what we were going to have from the menu only to see its now an Italian., We stayed there to try it but come away VERY disappointed !! My started was garlic and chilli prawns, there was 5 mid size prawns in an oil with chilli and garlic. NO bread or anything to go with it. The wife had the antipasta board ! ok there were some cheese and meats but nothing to write home about and once again NO bread . Both had the linguine with prawns and again NO bread. The wife had a Pims and I had a pint of shandy and the bill was just short of £90. Sorry but until they sort themselves out we will not be going back. ps, no one bothered to text or talk to us to inform us they had changed hands so we were very dissapointed with that as well."

"We just moved to the area and had a couple of nice evening meals so booked to bring my daughter who had just had a baby for lunch. The price was the same as the evening and the food was terrible, my daughter always has spaghetti Bolognese as she says its best in an Italian restaurant. She gave me a bit to taste and it seemed like it had been cooked several times before. The pesto pasta with pine nuts I had was tasteless and no nice toasted pine nuts on top, in fact I couldn’t see any at all, it was very disappointing after I had told my daughter and partner how good it was. They had made an effort with decorating the table and the people are lovely but I think I probably won’t go back."

"A very friendly welcome awaits you in this pleasant medium size café. Very good coffee here. Full English breakfast with everything you expect, very precisely cooked and well plated. Fine sausages and eggs beautifully done. Omelette with cheese, mushroom and bacon was superb. Omelettes are not easy to do well but the chef in Chaplains has the knack. We also enjoyed a toasted tea cake and jam, fresh butter and quality jam. We also had toast and marmalade. Great bread beautiful marmalade. Made to feel welcome on our first visit will be back here again and soon!"

"3 of my friends ordered the same thing. Mixed meat grill. Presented nicely, but unfortunately that's where it all went wrong. We all had the same issue. I spoke out. I asked if the sausage was ment to be pink? Was assured it was. We...was not particularly happy. I cut into my lamb. It was raw. When I passed comment to the chef and owner, he came out and said it was fine, then to prove it he ate the sausage from my plate, and asked if I was qualified to eat' I kid you not the chef said and did this! I was a little perplexed by this show, as I had not seen that before..... he said it was pink because it was homemade. Pink pork? I am a little sceptical.....They then hurried us out of the door by presenting the bill a few minutes later. Not a particularly pleasant experience. I would be mindful if anyone dared to pass a negative comment to the chef, as he came across particularly aggressive, and was defended by the Soux chef, who actually cooked' it. I only put 1 star, as 0 is not an option...."

"Read the reviews and gave it a go. It was OK, but nothing about the experience elevated it beyond ok. Limited menu, especially for vegetsrians. We booked but found that our table had been given to someone who walked in off the street. Had to get a drink somewhere else and come back half an hour later. The food we ordered was cooked well. Service was ok but not particularly attentive. It was quite difficult to get a waiters attention. Atmosphere was again, ok. I would eat here again but only if none of my preferred options were available."
