We called in for lunch on Monday this week and were disappointed with the service and treatment we received. Along with drinks we ordered and paid for beetroot tart and a portion of chips. Our drinks arrived and about 10-15 minutes later a waitress came to us and said ‘just to inform you we have no beetroot tart’ and ‘did we want quiche instead’ There was no apology and we felt that that it should have been known when we placed our order that there was no tart.

My family and I left and went to the runaway kiln, which serves very nice gluten free food and cake, and where the staff have manners.
I will not ever go back again and...

Unfortunately my friend ordered the Turkey dinner in a Yorkshire pudding and we were told that they did not have any veg but could give extra stuffing!!! The meal was stale, unatractive and tasted like it was left over from yesterday (Sunday lunch possibly) and reheated. We were told that we would not be charged the £10 by the waitress but when I went to pay the bill I was told that a £1 discount was all the BOSS/Owner would allow. When we were leaving the owner was very rude to us. I would not reccomend to...
