    Great centrally located venue. Nice wind in the willows theme. Food was pretty poor. For a breakfast it was more Morrisons cafe than Toad of toad hall! Disappointing

Your feedback is invaluable to us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    A really lovely night out as a group of four. Highly recommend the chicken wings and treacle smoked salmon, and highlights for main was the cheeseburger and steak - steak was perfectly cooked! And the customer service was really good from Leona. We will definitely be back!
