We have now visited here twice for Sunday dinner and it was really lovely. A bit more expensive than other places but for the quality, I think it's worth it. I do have one major issue though - they're proper tight with the gravy! Gravy is the staple that brings it all together! So one little gravy boat between two people to cover your plate is impossible. To have to pay an additional £3 for another small portion of gravy is a bit ridiculous in my opinion. Even with two (small) gravy boats the end of my dinner and potatoes were dry so what should've been an exceptional Sunday dinner, left me a little disappointed.
My partner ordered the cheesecake on both occasions which he said was nice. I have ordered twice from the specials board for desert and both have been really awful I'm sorry to say. The first time was a meringue which tasted like meat! Last time was the cherry bakewell creme brulee which wasnt remotely a brulee and tasted awful. The table next to us had the same desert as me and didn't eat theirs either, saying the same thing. The desert was removed from the bill, thankfully.
The staff are really friendly and attentive without being over the top and it's a clean place with a good atmosphere.
I'd definitely recommend eating here but I'd probably come more often if we could just have a decent portion of gravy! No one wants dry roasties and yorkshire pud and to charge for more is a bit of a rip off. If you're paying a decent sum for a Sunday dinner, the required amount of gravy is expected...
Read moreFirst time visit as a last minute booking, passed it many times over the last few years. Me and the wife both went for Burgers which were really good, I had the steak and burger which was fantastic, loads of cheese and the onion shreds were a great addition with plenty of lettuce, burger was huge but it was the perfect concoction. (steak, burger, cheese, mayo, awesome onion shreds) chips were spot on too, triple cooked I think.. but that kinda vibe (perfect), nice lil dollop of slaw with what looked like poppy seeds as an addition.. (I don't like slaw but the mrs said it was really good!) Both had dessert, I was abit over faced at this point but, another win, I liked the addition of interesting garnishes like crumbled cinder toffee on the brownie, exceptional proper ice cream to accompany too. To sum up - Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the menu, presentation and above all quality. Well done! Hope to...
Read moreNot for me Lacked any atmosphere A big table filled with boxes and paperwork and a worker sat there on a laptop it looks scruffy the stairs to the toilet needed a clean then on next set of stairs full of clutter not restaurant standards Food My sister said her burger was lovely My other sister and I had steak left a lot of it chewed on plate as to tough it was overly seasoned and tasted like there was curry in the seasoning also the pepper corn sauce tasted of curry sauce and the chips we all was so disappointed with the chips they were not fresh hand cut chips a lot of them were green not crispy None of the food was fresh or really hot I suspect cooked previously and just warmed through very disappointed maybe we went on the wrong night but all in all I would say wetherspoon standard...
