Handsome building located at the edge of town. Convenient pay and display car park behind. Super friendly staff. Reasonable selection of drinks. Food fairly mediocre. Visited around five times now, and not manage to not disappoint at some level with regards to the food. Tonight we took advantage of the āearly birdā menu, and had pĆ¢tĆ© for starters, and a truly revolting minestrone soup. The later must of been on the boil for days. It was a tasteless brown mess with burnt bits from the bottom of the pan. Brown Windsor soup anyone? I asked if I could swap it for a pint of beer, but got nowhere! We did order a garlic tomato bread. This was much better. Properly cooked (on a previous visit a pizza was delivered grossly under cooked, and then thrown back in the oven and burnt upon complaint. When I protested, it was my fault apparently!) just lacking a tad in garlic. The mains where quite good. A lovely chicken breast in a creamy sauce. And a veg risotto. The only minor set back was the woeful veg. Again, give the impression they had been pre cooked and reheated. Profiteroles for desert. Straight out of the freezer Iām sure. Poor thing was covered in a chocolate cream type topping. Drenched in the stuff. With added chocolate sauce and dusted with cocoa. Soggy, sweet, stodgy. A mess. What happens to the Italian deserts?

Absolutely brilliant, we had a great time here for my Dad's birthday meal. All the staff are very friendly and the decor is very nice. It's the first time I've ever been, but I've always wanted to just because of how it looks from the outside, and it didn't disappoint. It's got a nice bar area downstairs to wait while your party arrives, with a good selection of drinks. The menu is great, I can honestly there didn't look like one thing I wouldn't like. Everybody enjoyed their food, especially my daughter . All in all, we had a great time and will see definitely go again.

Took advantage of the early bird (before 7pm) dining offer where you get 3 courses for Ā£16.95 per head. My prawn cocktail ( old school favorite of mine) was nice tasty sauce, lots of fresh cold prawns on a salad bed, my partner enjoyed the pate. Main course I chose was a spicy penne pasta, good size portion, lots of taste with a Chilli zing, followed by cheese cake. The staff here are very friendly, bar prices are reasonable (similar to most pubs) and it was a really enjoyable couple of hrs with family & friends - highly recommended š
