About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Dog-friendly
  • Kid-friendly
One stop eatery
We’ve combined bar, restaurant, and café into a truly individual one stop eating and drinking experience.

We’re open, so why not stop by and sample our great food and drinks, and experience our unique, welcoming atmosphere.

Note when booking - a high top table is a taller table with bar stool height chairs, the chairs have backs and are very comfortable but we recommend not booking these if you have very young children (under 5s) or members of your party who are less able bodied.

    We prebooked a table 3 weeks in advance of our holiday for a Sunday roast. On arrival we were told they had sold out of Sunday roasts. Which was frustrating as we had promised our children a lovely Sunday lunch as a treat. We decided on alternative meals and the food was acceptable standard but unfortunately the service was not. We didn’t get anyone ask how our food was once served. No one asked if we needed more drinks, which we did but didn’t order any more. We didn’t get offered a dessert menu or recommendations on alternative meals from the roast when asked. My son’s children’s meal was last to arrive at the table , Which should have been first. Overall a very poor service after having booked early to secure a table for Sunday dinner with servers who spent more time chatting than asking what we needed. Very disappointed.

    Visited as a party of 17 for a birthday meal. We managed to book in at short notice online and received such amazing service. Food was amazing and staff were great.

    Delicious roast we had at the depot today! I had chicken which was so tender it fell off the bone, my husband had beef which was cooked to perfection! And both our daughters had pork and said it was sooo good! Lovely selection of vegetables too! Cheese leeks were AMAZING! We also love the parsnip crisps! And a massive Yorkshire! We had to take the rest of the cheesy leeks home as requested by our daughter! We’ll be back soon! :-)

    First visit and we’ll be back! Good food, good service, lots of space, reasonable prices. Energetic ambience due to a large kids party but not really an issue.
