"Ordered classic bruschetta and dough sticks for starter, bruschetta came without any balsamic reduction on top, when asked, they said they had run out, but never mentioned it whilst placing the order. The dough sticks were cooked nice however the accompanying dips of ‘garlic butter’ turned out to be garlic margarine and the ‘tomato pizza sauce’ turned out to be literal ketchup, which ruined the entire starter. When this was brought up to a member of staff, the manager was notified however the items were not knocked off the final bill, the main course was lovely, no complaints apart from maybe too much sauce with the pasta dish, but that is being picky. Whilst the main was lovely, the lack of an attempt to rectify the starter problem left us with a bad taste in our mouth and I’m not sure we will visit again"

"Absolutely amazing food. I was not expecting the meal to be as good as it was. Mac cheese is always a terrible idea at restaurants as it is usually bland and dry but I took a chance and it really paid off! Best mac cheese I've ever had, it was creamy, cheesy and filling. The starter (goats cheese and sun dried tomato) and dessert (chocolate fudge brownie sundae with salted caramel ice cream) that I had were also really really good. Great value for money, a nicely decorated place and the staff were lovely."

"I had eaten twice in a waggoner than vegetarian, so I knew they had a really extensive and tasty veggie menu, but I was still a bit nervous to go more vegan than I had to eat both earlier times with naughty. it turns out that they have a complete and delicious vegan menu! there are 5 or 6 starters including a vegan suppe of the day that was beautiful. they were so apologetic that they have no milk-free spread for the broth I think they would normally. the moving mountain burger was really nice and the wedges with which he came were beautiful. I could not believe that there are four correct puddings and options of the milk free cream or ice. I had warm chocolate fudge cake with milk free ice cream and it was the most beautiful dessert I had been going since the vegan. my 2 table attendants are carnivores and enjoyed their meal (not vegan), so it is a good place to go when they have a mixed group to please. all my foods came with a flag in it, so the kitchen clearly put effort to call their vegan foods and to handle it appropriately. I am also tee-total and found the soft drinks menu really extensive. they have not only the usual softdrinks 0% beer, wine and apple wine. it was not allowed to give him 5 stars as it is not completely vegan."

"Visited this restaurant and had some concerns about the hygiene standards I saw. Unfortunately, our waitress seemed quite unwell, displaying symptoms like a runny nose and a persistent cough. I completely understand that people can get sick, but it's essential for the restaurant to prioritise the health and safety of both their staff and customers. Serving food while visibly ill can potentially expose diners to health risks (especially with at risk family members). This experience left me genuinely concerned about the overall cleanliness in the restaurant. If that's front of house, what's the kitchen like? I hope the management takes this feedback seriously. Quite disgusting considering the price you pay just to get seated. Expected better than chippy standards."

"Myself, my girlfriend 2 others visited this place on Friday night on walking in the smell of damp and stale water was shocking, there was a manky hand written sign on the door stating that the place was due to close in November due to retirement ! When we was shown to our table the smell was shocking there was damp patches above our table and it was clear to see vents had been installed to allow air to flow along the joists however this meant the stinking air was released into the dining area. On ordering drinks we was told certain drinks where not available which was not a good start. I have to say the food was not too bad but far from the best I have had. My girlfriend and her friend went to the toilets, which had no lights, where dirty and smelt dreadful nearly causing my girlfriend to be physically sick. I went into the gents and it was the same no basic cleaning had been done in my opinion for a long time ! I personally think this place is not closing due to retirement but more down to the fact it needs a lot of money spending on it and they clearly do not want to bother, the staff member who served us was only a young girl and said she did not take food orders and she was only there to serve drinks so we had to wait to have our order taken. It is a good thing that this is closing down as it is dreadful place to sit and eat. It cost us over £100 for food and drinks and is over priced in my opinion !"
