Having read some reviews for this revamped refurbished restaurant, it sounds a bit hit and miss, but I can only speak from experience and could not fault the food at all. I had 2 starters, crab pot and fish soup, and sticky toffee pud for desert, my husband had cheese soufflé then beef bourginon ,then crumble for pud. The waiter we had called Jack was new, but very helpful and charming. It’s nice to have just one waiter looking after you . Only complaint from me would be the smell from the wood on the fires , I found quite overpowering , it made me feel a bit queasy and I could smell it on me all evening after we left . But, that could be a matter of taste. Will be returning
We went on Christmas Eve for my birthday with our daughter and her husband, we just had to walk down the street from her house, but what delight, we all had something different and none of us disappointed us, the meals were first class, the service was friendly and very efficient with a bit of affable jokes on the side. He was warm and friendly with excellent food, what else can you order on Christmas Eve.
Thoroughly enjoyed lunch here with 5 friends, the food is delicious and the service was very friendly and professional. Great atmosphere as there are cosy corners for just having a drink and a natter. We all had something different from the menu and could not fault anything. Would definitely recommend it.
We went for the Set Menu but were told not available until next month so instead chose from the A La Carte Menu. Mains were from £14. I had smoked belly pork with dauphinoise potatoes and braised red cabbage which was lovely. A main, pudding and soft drink plus tip came to just under £30 each.

Food was very good. Excellent service so very attentive. Only a few minor glitches. It was very dark so you couldn’t see what you were eating and was very hot in our seat so they turned the heating off right away. Overall lovely experience! Will definitely be back
Was initially worried about visiting for our annual New Years lunch with friends, as it was a Crown Carvery last time I visited and was terrible! I wasn’t aware it had been taken over, so was relieved to see it had been as I pulled into the Car Park.
We had a fantastic afternoon when we visited it late December. Some great wine, and a really nice french 75 which is my favourite cocktail. We especially enjoyed the Hake fish dish and the Pork mains. Really friendly service. Will be visiting again.
The reopening of this restaurant was so anticipated I couldn't wait to visit. Unfortunately I can't help thinking by reading all these reviews that they might have waited another week and got it right first time.
