    Outstanding service! The roasts were delicious- especially the roast potatoes- which is always a sign of great food! The Yorkshire pudding’s could have been hotter but apart from that- excellent!!

    Since the last time I went they have changed all the paintings in the main room, which gave the place real character. They have also turned up the lighting. The menu had also changed completely. Now vaguely Middle Eastern/Italian with only one fish option. Good service on a quiet evening - place was about 30% full on a Thursday evening. Excellent jazz in the bar afterwards.

    Great service! The individual roasts were a good size, but the sharing suckling lamb advertised for two wasn't really filling, not much meat on the bone. Could've been easily eaten by only one person; it would have been more convenient to order two individual dishes. The sticky toffee pudding was a winner, but the pear dessert was a bit of a steal.. £8 for less than half a pear and a splash of cream.

    Enjoyed trying dishes from the new menu! Had the gurnard which was cooked perfectly although found the addition of pickled chillies rather strange! I hadn’t been here for ages but the open fire and music from the jazz trio in the bar area made for a great atmosphere, so planning a return visit soon!
