Visited for Sunday lunch recently and it was lovely, so tasty. The choice of veg and sides was extensive, roast potatoes, new potatoes, stuffing, sausages, carrots, peas, swede mash, creamy leeks, cabbage, ratatouille, and probably others that I have forgotten.

Not the most professional customer service! A meal was deducted from our bill As good will gesture. Such a shame really. We won’t return again due to the...
Read moreWe've been customers here, on and off, for many years. On tuesday a friend and his wife insisted on taking my wife and I to lunch. We recommended here on the basis of our previous good experience but sadly today was not to be such an occasion. Apart from the young man who waited table the service was surly, the turkey crumbled on carving and the vegetables languished in luke warm water. Gluten intolerance featured but it was clear the carver had no idea as to the requisites of this malaise as he dished up stuffing and sausage. It's regrettable that we have to complain but it may be that the absence of other diners could be...
