sorry to have to write this. A small group of us attended last night. great atmosphere and were having a great time. UNTIL, I went to the bar to get us another round of drinks, after standing there for 10 mins whilst a boy bounced back and forth from the back room room in some cringe worthy attempt to impress the other girls behind the bar (they looked uncomfortable), he decided it fit to do some work and take my order. asked for my drinks and then he took it upon himself to ask "what else", I repeated my order (NO NO NO) he then asked me "you have to say please" I laughed, all good humour. he was deadly serious and moved to serve the next person.

Food arrived hot and was excellent

So decided to go back following day for lunch where we seen a sign, all Homecooked food. Dining as 4 people we ordered 2 full English breakfasts, 1 cheeseburger & 1 homemade steak pie. We waited 20 mins or so for food, but I firstly decided to order the Sunday lunch at 12 o o’clock only to be told the Sunday lunches weren’t being served until 12.30 onwards (I think the chef forgot to cook the meat) the food arrived all very hot and good sized portions.
