On entry at 5.30 we had to wait a while before being seated even though it was empty. The restaurant looked very impressive nicely decorated and clean.
It took a long while before we were served for drinks and able to give our orders over. The waitress was quite flippant on her service towards us , she didn't ask us if we wanted the Monday offer, I had to ask if it was still available but we wasn't given the specific menu until I asked.
The garlic mushrooms were too salty and sickly for me.
The fillet steak was divine although it needed to rest longer as blood juices was on my plate when I cut into it
The lemon tart although beautifully presented was very sharp in taste for my liking.
The restaurant became very busy by 6.30pm and I noticed there needed to be some light background music to lighten up the atmosphere.
On the whole, very good quality food for the price would recommend a visit and wouldn't mind going back to try their Sunday roasts.

Outstanding service. Turned up as a family of 10, but there was confusion with the booking and they were fully booked. Staff ran around, found a table (built a table) and we were in. It was very busy but there was no delay for service. Stunning food, with 10 clear plates! (That goes for starters and deserts too)
Fantastic, thank you first accommodating us.

Been a few times here now but never again. My breakfast had items missing of it! It was awful. The waitress didn't notice and served it up wrong and the chef just couldn't give a dam! Our Grandaughters breakfast had the granola missing. They just didn't care! The last time we went was awful and so was this time! Such a lovely place but so short of staff and they don't do anything about it!

We arrived a bit earlier than expected, but despite our early arrival, they warmly welcomed us and made us feel right at home. The staff greeted us with a smile and made sure we were comfortable from the moment we walked in. The ambiance was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall pleasant experience.
As for the food, it was nothing short of delicious. Each dish was prepared with care and attention to detail, resulting in flavors that were both satisfying and memorable.

Ny wife, my five year old son and I visited this establishment on Sunday 11th August The place was really nicely decorated. I had ordered the three course meal. Starters was Grilled Goats cheese, which was scrumptious It was so melting in the mouth tasty.
Then the main meal was trio of roasts, which was roast beef, pork and chicken, with all the trimmings It was huge, that I could only eat 3 quarters of it but each bite was a delight.
The desert was Tiramisu torte. This was probably the best Tiranisu. It was so light but full of flavour.
My wife just ordered the chicken pizza and she liked it, with my son enjoying chicken nuggets and chips
Highly recommend this place, especially for a Sunday roast.
