"Heard mixed reports about this restaurant, but as a couple who enjoy eating out for no good reason, and seeking new culinary experiences from time to time, we decided to give Nic's a go, as it is local for us. First impressions are so often misguided, so the somewhat time warped decor was not going to turn us away as we were greeted in a friendly manner by Nicola, given the choice of where to sit, offered a drink before studying the menu, plus specials of the day. Our choices were prepared and presented with politeness and due attention to any extras we may wish to have, sauces, water jug, was the wine to our liking, all of which are points many other eating establishments either neglect to do, or are so invasive in their ott attention. The lamb served as my main course was absolutely delicious, my partner's steak rated well too, fresh vegetables served in side dishes and not cooked to death. Nic's home cooked chips scored high too. Yummy cheesecake dessert, cheese board and coffee completed our meal most satisfactorily with a bill which didn't make us gasp! If you want chic or a posey designer plated menu with fussy finesse, then not the place for you, but seeking a good value freshly and well cooked 3 course dinner plus a friendly welcome where it seemed that nothing was too much trouble, then give this a try, but soak up what the kitchen has to offer, rather than the surroundings. We shall return to Nic's Restaurant to sample some more at a later date."

"I’ve thought long and hard about writing a review but the experience has niggled me so here goes .. We visited on Father’s Day for the first time and were very much looking forward to our meal as we’d heard such good things but we came away rather annoyed. Due to the roadworks we were running about 20mins late, I called the establishment to advise we were on our way as a courtesy and apologised for our delay to which we were advised was ok. We arrived and were seated to our table but waited 15/20mins after being seated for our drinks order to be taken then waiter another 15mins for them to arrive and even then my elderly grandad had to wait s further 10mins for his hot drink to arrive. The young girl that served us was very polite but completely inexperienced and couldn’t answer any of our questions (we later found out she is usually in the kitchen . I ordered a set menu meal for my grandparents to share as they don’t eat much and we hate wastage. After ordering our food, we were then approached by an older lady (the owners partner? who told us that due to it being Father’s Day they don’t offer any alternatives to this even though we’d explained this and asked about kids meals/smaller portions at the ordering stage. Now what got my back up was not what this woman was saying, it was how she said it. Patronising and derogatory is an understatement, it was also insinuated that we were ordering a shared meal because we were trying to save money which I was angered and embarrassed by as I was treating my elderly grandparents. In the end she came back and said they could do 2 senior meals like she was doing us a favour (had this been explained at the ordering it would have saved a lot of confusion and annoyance . The food was lovely and the lady on the bar was amazing but until the older lady learns how to treat customers we won’t be back! Such a shame! Ps I am in the industry as is my husband and I’ve never witnessed such unprofessionalism from ‘management’."
