"First time here following the refurbishment. Ample parking but only 2 disabled bays that I could see. The decor very warm and welcoming but you can still smell the paint from the toilets from where we were sitting. Now to the negative stuff, we had to wait a bit to be shown to our table as there was no one in the reception area. The young lady took us to a corner table and only handed us the drinks menu. We waited nearly 25 minutes and still no one came to our table. I literally had to get up and go to the bar and ask for the food menu and to be served. The waiting time for the drinks, starter and main meal was abysmal. We ordered margaritas and it came without the salt around the glasses, the starters were average and bland and the main was so so. The curry I had was with chicken and it was not cooked properly. Overall really disappointed."

"Came here for a Christmas meal. The food was okay, but didn't wow me. However, I was very pleased with the service. When my daughter's panko breaded brie only had the coating, the server was very apologetic and arranged for a fresh order. ( But why would anyone send out a meal like that in the first place?! ) Overall the staff were very attentive. My son's bitter mojito was replaced and extra sugar syrup given."

"All the food was really good and the service was very friendly. The atmosphere was also really nice. The flowers on the tables were real instead of dusty plastic ones like I usually see in pubs. My partner really likes fried squid but had struggled to find a place that really nails it: crispy but not overcooked and not rubbery. This place had the perfect fried squid. We loved everything else we got as well: fried brie (pictured), chicken Caesar salad, sticky chicken, chips, and scallops."

"Easter Sunday lunch. Booked a table online that morning. But not as busy as expected with some free tables. Staff were polite and helpful. We ordered the roasts and they were served within a few minutes. Potions were large, glad we didnt have starters and could not have managed a desert. Would recommend."
