"Well, all I can say is that I was so disappointed in the whole experience of our Christmas lunch today. We had a booking for 12.15pm.. we arrived on time, drink were ordered and then sadly it went down hill. Our food did not arrive until 1.50pm! The soup was cold (even the butter block was still whole in the bottom of the bowl), the Turkey was good. However the vegetables were so hard, my elderly mum had trouble cutting them so she left them! My 12 ye old daughter ordered the pizza to which she was given half … which seems very odd and ridiculous after a 2 hr wait! Puddings were lovely, but we didn’t wait for the coffees etc Our waitress was lovely but didn’t communicate either with us or her manage to what was going on. Tables around us were complaining about the waiting too. It was almost like they had completely overbooked and over stretched themselves. We (a booking of 5) did complain and we got all our drink deducted off the bill, only to be informed that the chef had had a medical emergency and had been take to hospital! Obviously, had this been communicated to all the waiting customers the outcome may have been very different and we would have had an understanding and empathy- but this wasn’t! Overall, I was so disappointed not only on the service, but how it left my parents feeling as Christmas dinner was their treat, in a restaurant they use regularly as I have travelled up from Dorset. I would not be able to recommend this restaurant or the festive menu at £32.95 per head. But I wish the staff member a speedy recovery."

"Went there on Saturday evening with another couple who we had not seen for years.Due to dress code, and having attended in the past were dressed suitably. However, we found that several of the customers were dressed in ripped jeans and generally looking scruffy.We were greeted by a male who showed us to our table who was wearing jeans which were hanging down almost gang style scruffy! Our waiting staff came over again dressed in black jeans. When I'm at a restaurant I expect to be treated with respect and to be called Sir and my wife Madam. I do NOT expect to be called Guys which is what our male table staff kept doing. We were talking to our friends and seated at a corner table which sadly had a speaker above our heads. The music was suddenly turned up and we were unable to hear ourselves talk. We asked for the music to be turned down which it was. However Guys told us it was because the staff behind the bar couldn't hear it. It wasn't really background music style either.Drinks ordered and delivered OK.Food ordered to find that there were two items on the limited menu that was not available. Both of which I was considering ordering. One I seem to remember was Scallops and the other was the Kofta starters.On the mains we were all surprised that there was no steak on the menu except in a salad.No-one had complaints regarding the food but a comment I would make is that the Buttered Chicken pie comes with Mash. However is was a miniscule dollop just enough to stop the pie from moving.The reduced all day menu we were given was not the same as the All Day menu on your website and there were various options missing such as no offer of batter halumi instead of battered cod.My only other issue was with one of the female waiting staff who was wearing leggings. I don't like leggings anyway but in a restaurant atmosphere and by staff that's a definite dislike especially when she bends over and they are not quite as opaque she would like or they should be.Food and ambience was nice but some details need attention.Would I return? Maybe!"
