   Rather dark interior and we were surprised with the shorter menu we had seen on line - no starters. However, what we ordered as main courses and subsequently desserts, was absolutely excellent with very friendly and cheery service. We will certainly come back now we know where the car park is !!

   We arrived for a birthday treat at 7.45 was shown to a window seat which was fine they took our drinks order and the wine arrived almost immediately fine, we ordered our starter and main, and then waited one hour and 25 minutes before anything arrived, our starter arrived and was ok, we wondered why it had taken so long as it was only a plate of bread and a scotch egg, our main arrived , and was half eaten, we debated having a dessert and decided that it was not a good idea as we may still be there another hour, when booking you asked if it was a special occasion and I mentioned it was a birthday, there was nothing said about special occasion when we had finished so wondered why i had to put it on the booking form. We were disappointed and won’t be going back.

   Food was good but was let down by slow inexperienced service. We had to asked for the drinks menu and were not offered a desert menu.

   The food was very impressive and my husband was given a free cocktail for his birthday which was a nice treat. I would have one bit of feedback, and that is to let the customers know what is not available on the menu before you come to take our order, both food and wine. But apart from that our evening was very enjoyable.

    First visit since it reopened. We all enjoyed our meal but the wait between ordering and getting our starters was 1 hr and 20 minutes which is quite bit too long! Staff friendly but I scored a lower service score because of the wait. Maybe there needs to be more staff in the kitchen.
