"This location should, in theory, be 10/10 experience in my opinion.. Wonderful building.. Various parts to it, as in a nice main restaurant, with plenty of seating of varying styles.. A canal right next to it with narrow boats meandering past the location.. So why was our experience dissapointing .? Ok.. Service by staff was hit and miss.. And you can't say there wasn't enough staff on duty on a gorgeous Sunday lunchtime.. In main restaurant.. The marquee extension and seating outside, staff were plentiful.. But if you have staff just twiddling fingers and not watching customers, whether for food and drinks orders,or actually trying to pay the bill at the end of our time there.. Lost count of number of times we asked for our bill please .. Finally , one young lady got the bill.. Then vanished again.. She came back a short time later, and said she has to wait for the card machine.. Seriously, has such a large, well established business only operating a small number of card payment machines that customers have to sit and wait..? After around 10mins, we just got up to walk to one of the various cash till/ screens, dotted around the location.. But here again, we just didn't get served , until a gentleman in a grey polo shirt asked if he could help? Absolutely you can..I said to him.. Can we PLEASE PAY OUR BILL..???? We've been waiting far to long to just pay our bill.. Suddenly a card machine was made available.. Billl paid,we left... The actual cusne was very nice.. Couldn't fault that part of our experience.."

"Arrived to a big car park that had plenty of spaces. The buildings looked well maintained and had a big welcome sign .It comprises of bar ,dining tables and new side building with about 45 covers. At the outside there were another 25 coves that offered illuminated dining al fresco with lovely views. Additional covers to be found in other building. All tables were clean well presented.in all nice location with good interior and exterior décor. On entry we were greeted by friendly staff. we were shown to our table and served our drinks quickly. Menus looked a bit worn and could be replaced. we ordered our food and had popadom x 4 sea food platter to share for starters, chicken tikka for main, prawn tikka for main with rice and naan bread. additional drinks and cocktail. All food was cooked correctly. tasted above average and fair value for money. Drinks were correct served properly in correct glasses. Music was just a little on the load side but not offensive. good choice of relaxing music. Internal décor was new and well done. Food portions were very good and we were not rushed to our next course. waiters were dressed tidy but NOT in same livery clothing. All were polite and checked on us during our meal. At end of meal we sat outside to see the lovely view of the countryside. The bill was £79.00 all in and worth a tip. i will be returning here and will recommend this restaurant to my friends. well done to all. we had a fantastic evening. Food very tasty."

"Hi. As I have said before, I only take the time to write a review so that I can share my honest opinions in an attempt to help others. I always give honest opinion be it good or bad. Last Friday evening I ordered a takeaway for five people, via Go Eat service. I was estimated a 40 minute wait, which is about right for a Friday night It now goes down hill from here 1 I only give one star because the system won’t accept zero stars, so my single award is for a reasonably good menu on offer. 2 When my food was 1 hour overdue, I tried several times to call the restaurant. 3 At 90 minutes late my wife finally got a response. My wife explained how late our food was enquiring if we had been overlooked. The very very rude person barked at my wife that they were very busy. My wife tried to get a word in saying that 90 minutes late was unacceptable and started to request a refund, the angry reply continued saying that any issue was with Just Eat and our food had just left the shop, the phone was then put down not allowing my wife to speak any further. Whilst filling in the complaint process on Just Eat our food arrived. That was quite encouraging as we are just over a mile from the shop. 4 I think it’s fair to say that all of our food was poor. It was cold Luke Warm , with only my Roti being hot, all portions were very small indeed. I am using other local restaurants as comparison of portion size. E G we always have the same debate 1 portion of chips or 2, knowing that we each will have some as with the rice. Always we end up saving the second portion until later untouched or only a handful taken. With that in mind this delivery, putting both portions of chips together was roughly 2/3 size of others. Plus I have never seen s potion of rice arrive that isn’t bursting out of the foil container when opened. This one was only just touching the lid as it was heaped up in the middle, presumably where the ladle finished tipping its contents. Finally, I will point out that this is the second time we have used this restaurant, with very similar results previously’ particularly late and Luke warm. I didn’t complain or review them as I like to give the benefit of the doubt. This occasion the sheer rudeness of staff on the phone has prompted my review. Also, you should know I am writing this 5 days later , so it is not ‘knee Jerk’. As an aside my daughter also complained to Just Eat requesting a refund and neither she or my wife have not received any reply. I advise choosing another option for your take away food."

"I visited here today with an elderly friend of mine. It was my first time visiting but I had heard alot about the place from others. The restaurant is decorated beautifully and was packed out, we were very lucky to find a table which was the last one that was free. We both wanted a lunch option but my friend wanted something off the special board, it was 1140 and they don't serve these meals till 12 so we decided to wait before ordering which was fine with the staff. We both had a pot of tea which came in a lovely white teapot and was served with a teacup and saucer. The tea was lovely and of a good quality. 12oclock soon came round and I went and ordered out meals. I had the jacket potato and cheese and my friend had a lamb kofta burger and chips. We weren't waiting long before the meals arrived. They were presented on big white plates and there was plenty of food. My jacket potato was cooked to perfection and came with salad and a homemade coleslaw which was very creamy. The lamb kofta burger was served with chips and salad. The chips were very chunky and not greasy and were cooked to perfection. The staff here are very attentive and friendly even though they were ran off their feet. Tables quickly filled up when people left so I could quickly tell that it is a very popular establishment. Everything was very clean and they did a good variety of food on there menus. I will definitely be going back but next time I will indulge in the afternoon tea which looked amazing. Especially the homemade scones which were the biggest I'd ever seen. I highly recommend this place lunch and even though we didn't have the breakfast menu I imagine that the breakfast on offer will just be as good."
