Went for lunch on Saturday meeting up with family to catch up over a meal. Found it on Google and went off the reviews, an unfortunate mistake. Set in a nice location a lovely looking old building that has been well set up as a small restaurant. Drinks were fine although on the fist attempt one was forgotten and an incorrect drink brought later on when ordering another round one was forgotten altogether but by that point reminded the server and asking for it just wasn't in anybody as we'd had the food. The menu, make sure you don't look at the hotel one by accident it will give you a false sense of quality. Personally I had the stake pie and chips with veg and gravy.

We were seated within a minute and a half, had menus in less than another minute and his attention to detail went above and beyond. The other 3 were on wine and I finished my J20 first. I was just about to catch Oscar's attention when he observed my glass was empty and appeared by my left arm. In all the places I've ever eaten this has never happened before. On our way out I thanked him for his amazing service, asked his name for this review and how long he'd worked in the bar. I was stunned to find it was only two weeks. Management needs to do all they can to make sure this guy doesn't leave - an...
