    First visit, will defo call again. Food took a little time but that was because it was freshly cooked. Large portions and also had a pudding so now can barely move 😀. The young man behind the bar was very friendly, helpful and efficient.

    Really wanted to be able to give a good review - unfortunately our experience was very average. Despite not being overly busy we waited 45 mins for food ( with a 3 year old). When the food arrived it was incomplete - no baked beans and burger bun inedible due to being burnt The ‘dressed’ salad was literally a wedge of cos lettuce with bacon bits. The main meals were adequate but had obviously been sitting waiting for service as they were warm not hot. We didn’t stay for dessert and could not wait for authorisation of a refund for the child’s meal. What a shame , great venue but eating experience very below par. We will not return.

    We were welcomed heartily upon arrival. We loved the view and the menu. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Would we return? Yes. Another reservation has already been made.

    Nice environment, decent size portions but....we had to wait ages, even though they weren't busy, food wasn't very hot, extras got forgotten, and the service, although polite, was really slow.
