"The staff were all polite and attentive, although two dropped plates while we were there seemed a little clumsy. Out of four main meals, only two were good; an award winning pie had stodgy undercooked pastry and the vegan shepherds pie, described as being full of mushrooms and kale in a tomato sauce, was 99% lentil and very dry. A single mushroom slice was very disapointing. The celery that was served with the baked Camembert was inedible, stringy and discoloured down the middle of every stalk. On the plus side, the beer battered fish was melt in the mouth, our request for gluten free bread with the starter was brought out without hesitation, the apple juice was crisp and fresh and the americano coffee was extremely flavoursome. We've never visited here before and wonder if the popularity of the restaurant, every table was in use on a Tuesday lunchtime, has led to a drop in quality, as other reviews i read prior to booking were all very good"
