"Second visit and both times the food has really been excellent, above gastro pub standard. First visit I tried the surf and turf, the steak was done just as requested and melted in the mouth, really good steak. Second visit and tried the fish and chips, the haddock , very tasty and the batter crispy, done just right. Dessert was a cheesecake, home made and delicious with cream. Service was superb both times. The meals looked great on the plate. Well presented and tasted as good. The style is a higher level than just pub grub with simple tables, it is all nicely set out, tables where you feel you can have a nice cosy meal. So to the only negative. At a table near by, a guest, who appeared to be a friend or relative of one of the staff, a chef I think, decided to have a loud video call at their table for about 10 to 15 minutes, could hear every word as did half the place, which wasn’t in keeping with the restaurant we think they are selling it as. The call was disturbed by their food arriving, that seemed the only thing that stopped it, the staff didn’t say anything. Thank heaven for the food and at last back to normal and the ambiance returned. It won’t put us off but that wasn’t in keeping with what the restaurant is sold as. Great food, great service, definite for another visit, hence the 5 stars."
