The booking system online, along with the confirmation and reminder messages were easy to use and very efficient. I made a phone call to check the carvery was on during the week and was reassured it was, by a gentleman who explained everything in a friendly, cheerful manner, which made me look forward to our meal.

The table (for 18) was all set for our 6:30 arrival - all three tables close together in a corner. Reece behind the bar was extremely attentive on our arrival and throughout our time. He calmly took our order (including three of us who have food allergies), explained the process re allergens and also the carvery arrangements, in addition to efficiently serving our drinks. He had a lovely banter with different members of our party from three generations and he regularly checked we had all our requirements - even suggesting drink options after listening to our preferences. Richard T was amazing behind the carvery - very knowledgeable and reassuring about allergens (or lack of) in each product, serving us with a smile - despite all our allergies - and wishing us an enjoyable meal - having a banter with us in the swiftly moving queue. He also made a point of going off to wash his hands before serving each one with an allergy. The food and drink were excellent - we had carveries, main courses from the menu and a mixture of alcoholic/hot and cold drinks. The beef was particularly nice and the gravy (although a little watery) was really tasty. It was clean plates all round - it’s great that you do three plate size choices as there was absolutely no waste! The other staff were also excellent - constantly moving around ‘multi-tasking’ in terms of clearing/cleaning and serving. The decor is great - mixture of small booths and larger but intimate areas - great pictures on the walls that went around corners. Nice background music - still able to hear each other but not other guests. Clean environment. Nice temperature and atmosphere. Will definitely be back!!
