Booked a table for 11:15am. On entering the bar area we weren’t even acknowledged. Told the bar staff we had booked a table and she said to wait and someone would be with us (whilst pouring the chef of the kitchen a pint of beer)10 mins later someone asked if they could help. Explained we had booked a table and he sat us down with lunch menus only to say they didn’t serve lunch till 12. We all agreed breakfast menu would be fine (at 11:30 when they stop serving breakfast!) Took them ages to take our order of 3 coffees and 1 pint orange cordial, for them to comeback 10 minutes later and say they had no orange cordial or any syrups for the coffees apart from gingerbread. At this point we decided to leave. Service was slow to say the least, looked like no one on front of house actually cared about any customers walking through the door. A real shame as the food looked really good quality.

Excellent service from every member of staff. Caring and very professional, especially as my friend has complex dietary issues. Food was lovely and surroundings attractive and spotless. First time there but we’ll be back! Our only gripe was £11.95 for an extremely meagre cheese board. Rather overpriced!

Overall it sounds like you had lovely time and enjoyed the ambience. I am sorry you found the cheeseboard overpriced and we will certainly consider reviewing this on our next menu change. We look forward to welcoming you back soon. Kindest Regards Steven

Another lovely meal with a great atmosphere especially when the pub quiz started. Just felt the service was sluggish. Sat waiting a full ten minutes before we flagged someone down to order drinks. Then they didn’t come with the drinks and had to be chased up. Once we ordered, the starters came and then when they were done we sat for another ten minutes before we were asked if we wanted anything else! Yes please - our main courses! So it just felt that there was a shortage of staff and although it didn’t detract from the overall experience it didn’t live up to usual standards. But food was great!
