"The only thing good about our meal was the pudding! I am especially disappointed as I was taking 2 friends out as a belated anniversary meal. We arrived a little later than our 7pm slot as the place was so difficult to find. We thought we had actually walked into a club the music was so loud could hardly hear yourself think and none of us are exactly oldies!! It's not clearly indicated where the restaurant is so spent another 5 mins wandering around the ground and lower floor looking for it then asked someone behind the bar, really loudly ....twice (due to the volume of the music! we were grunted at and they pointed to a lift. We went upstairs and oh my god the music was even louder!! We were shown to the table and given the menu and told that they had run out of the Steak and Beef Rib options which left Vegetarian , Chicken Schnitzel or Hake none of which we particularly liked! How on earth can a restaurant run out of these dishes by 7pm in the evening is beyond me. Considering tables are pre booked, one would think they would have some idea and order their stock accordingly! We ordered the Hake which was ok but the samphire that accompanied it was awful...full of stalks and chewy, in other words, cheap and nasty which just about summed up this place. Would never go there again and would never recommend. I even spoke to the manager and complained and was met with complete indifference not bothered in the slightest! No wonder they are putting on these deals so cheaply, as the saying goes, if it seems to good to be true then it probably is! Avoid, avoid, avoid!"

"We went for a 60th birthday Sunday lunch and while staying at a local farm for the weekend and we were rather disappointed. We had already called to pre-book as we have 2 dogs and an 18month old. We were shown to a small table where we really struggled to find somewhere for the dogs to lay and then had to wedge the highchair in too! The staff made no effort to apologise for the space or see if we had enough room. Just told us we may need to shove in a bit more if she needed the table behind us. We usually find pubs put us in a little area or nook if we pre-book so we feel much less awkward! We then all had roast at £24pp which came up very fast! Great news for us as we had the little one with us but it turned out it was probably because it had been sat there for ages. Potatoes and Yorkshires were so hard to cut as they had been sat there for so long and the meat was chewy! I had an espresso martini which was also quite bitter and very average (I’d rather have had wine) and we had a dirty water glass that we had to ask to be changed. The desserts were ok and the cookie dough was actually very nice although it was £10 a go! Due to the nature of the building our table was on a slant and the chairs were all wobbly on the tiled floor which made the whole meal quite uncomfortable. The waitress was very friendly and gave us good service but we were disappointed that we had chosen her for our lunch and won’t be going back!"
