Always and I mean always visit here if I'm in Barnstaple visiting my son....the Carvery is quite possibly the best I've tried anywhere. Food is incredible, staff....not so, but that's not why I go. Rude man on the phone, didn't give his name, simple enquiry, can I book a table ? ...I apologise for being an inconvenience !! He was In too much of a rush to be anywhere else exept on the phone. Rocked up on the off chance of there being a table, thought it would be busier being Mothers day...got a table, got the carvery, eat the carvery and buggered off....will I go again ? Yep, for the food, although I hear there's another fabulous carvery at The Pack o cards...but I consider that a further drive ....who knows, see you at Easter for another try, hopefully the staff may smile, say please and thankyou. Just a gentle side note...no customers equals no wage. Toodaloo.
