A friend booked weeks in advance for a party of 18. Myself and one other was 30 mins early and explained the rest where on their way but may be a little late as an accident had occurred. I wasn't directed to the table that was booked and stood awkward for a few seconds until I asked whether we could have a drink while we waited. We were directed outside as it was table service. Waited 15 mins, trying to flag a waitress for said drink. We were just about served when the rest of the party arrived. The party arrived on motorcycles. I over heard what now i found out to be the owner/ landlady, griping from the parties arrival. As the rest of the party noticed we were seated outside, they asked could they also sit with us. More, frowning and tutting was done before the elderly woman agreed. One of the party who did sit indoors overheard staff members remarking again about how they were inconvenienced (although they only said this after a round of 18 drinks had been purchased). After our meal, we went to our car that was situated on the far carpark. The motorcycles left first, and what I can only describe as a wailing banshee, could be heard over the sound of bikes, was stood in the road waving her arms about like she was directing planes in to land.
The young girls that served were lovely, and the 2 elderly, menopausal Karen's that work there should take a leaf out of their books.
Moral of the story. It's a nice location, with fantastic customers that loved the bikes. But as ambassador of a bike group with near 600 members, and 12,000 nationwide,. I guarantee I will be telling my 'biker gang' to stay clear so you guys can have your nice and quiet couple of years of working before you retire
PS one of your other customers dogs have chewed through one of the table legs. But I guess criminal damage doesn't come into the equation as the little doggie wasn't riding a...
Read moreAbsolutely lovely place to dine in and drink. Wonderful on a lovely sunny day but very warm and cosy on a grey day. Have been there twice and got a very warm welcome everytime. Servers are very friendly and the food is very good. I tried venison for the first time here and also got the Sunday roast. The roast beef was well done but the venison was absolutely tender. We also tried couple of beers and had a very nice experience overall.
