"Arrived about 2.30 pm on a Sunday, and it didn 't seem too busy. We had made a booking via OpenTable a few minutes before our arrival. We were promptly shown to our table in a conservatory, which seemed nice enough. We ordered our drinks and they arrived promptly but then we had to ask to order our food as nobody came to our table. The mushroom starters arrived in a reasonable time and were really very creamy but not that garlicky and weren 't served on tiger bread as stated in the menu, but they made a good appetiser all the same. The main which was the roast chicken for both of us arrived again in a reasonable time, and we were given a separate portion of cauliflower cheese , which we guessed just came with the meal. The said cauliflower cheese was a very odd neon colour but tasted ok. The chicken was plentiful but a bit bland, and the array of roasted vegetables and an extremely large pig in a blanket made the dinner more than palatable. We couldn 't manage a dessert as we were rather full, but what we saw other guests eating looked appetising. We asked for the bill, which annoyingly had a 10% service charge automatically added. We would no doubt have left a tip, but this optional charge bumped the bill up significantly. We expected the waitress to ask if we were happy to pay this, but we were not given the option on payment. The full amount, including the 10%, was simply charged to our card. We paid just shy of £70 for Sunday lunch with starters for two with 3 drinks, and we both agreed this was a little steep for what we had."

"I had been wanting to visit here for a long time and finally was able to go. I visited with my husband 18 month son and mother in law. Our table was booked a week or 2 in advance, we advised we would need a high chair. We were promptly seated and we asked if we could have a high chair, the server went away presumably to get one. They did not return to the table. When our drink and food order was taken we again asked for a high chair. We were told yes ill get one. This person again did not return until serving our food. I believe my husband approached someone again and asked for a chair and was told there was a large party in that were using the chairs so they were struggling to find one. My son was running about the restaurant as an 18 month old would but fortunately we were seated right by the outside and he was able to have a bit of space to play. Our food arrived and there was still no high chair. I was unable to enjoy my food or eat it when it was hot as I had to have my son on my lap so he could eat his stag bol. This ruined the meal for me. My son didn 't want to stay sat in my lap so I was then taking it in turns with my husband to go outside with our son. From what I had of my meal it was delicious it 's just a shame we couldn 't all eat together and were up and down throughout the visit. Also the food was cold by time of eating. We did on one occasion have a staff member approach the table and apologise about the lack of chair. My husband and Mil were near finishing their food when a high chair appeared. Whilst I was outside with our son a server asked how our food was. My husband told the server we were unable to enjoy it due to our son not being able to be seated properly. We just received a verbal apology. We had coffee after and were not given any sugar. My husband approached the coffee bar and asked for sugar and the man making our drinks seemed really annoyed. He briefly looked up and grimaced and then pointed to another server. I understand he was busy but customer service? I know it might seem easy to say 'control your son to sit at a table ' but it 's a lot easier said than done for some toddlers. I was left disappointed by the experience and seemed like an inconvenience. But I highly rate the food."
