We booked for 5 people to eat fairly late in the evening so it wasn't very busy, it was after the expected dinner rush. This also meant that parking was okay, you obviously get poor parking from some folks but there were plenty of spaces. This is not true at peak times or when the nearby hotel is full.

On entering we did have an independent delivery driver push through the family unit, not roughly at all but there wasn't an opportunity to move ourselves out the way, no huge fuss (we are British 'donchaknow') but it was a little disruptive before the meal.

We were greeted warmly and seated quickly in a booth, our orders were taken (carvery thanks) and asked if we'd been before (yes) to confirm we knew what was what. The table service in general was great, enough contact to feel served but not intrusive (thank you Elliott).

We did have to wait a couple of minutes for the carver/server to turn up (another staff member went and found them) - doesn't seem a long time on paper but milling around at the time it felt quite a while.

The meat selection was good, it was cooked well, and the portions were a decent size, the self served additions (mainly veg) were plentiful and okay. Obviously I took too much. Considering the sides were sat under hot lights in bulk they were good, if it had been served fresh (as at home) you'd feel some of it was a little over done. No labels on the different gravy pots and assumed the options were the same.

Ate and drank more then we really needed, paid quickly and left. All took about an hour. The people here were lovely the food was okay, the place is starting to feel well used but absolutely fine. We didn't pay a huge amount but we did use a 50% off food voucher - keep an eye out!
