"The staff here couldn’t have been any more helpful…… and one of the customers. My friend (who has mobility issues and has to use a wheelchair) and I rocked up with no reservation. They found us a table for 2 and the chef helped me get my friend into the building, as there was no ramp but 2 steps to tackle. The service was A1. The food (Sunday roast) was absolutely delicious, with 3 types of potatoes, a good selection of veg, Yorkshire puddings to die for and melt in your mouth beef…… All very good value for money. When we were ready to leave one of the customers helped me to get my friend out. My friend is generally housebound and doesn’t get out very often, mainly only when I go to visit her…. A very big thank you to everyone there who helped put a smile on my friends face, this made her week….. or maybe her month…… she’s still talking about it now!"

The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful, however, I would advise against ordering the garlic bread. We were served only two small pieces of baguette for £4.25, which we felt was quite expensive. The staff explained that it was considered a side dish. Despite this, I will definitely return to the restaurant, but I will not be ordering the garlic bread again.

We ordered a buffet for 50 people attending a funeral and it was delicious and plentiful. We discussed the menu first with Sharon and it was delivered to the venue at the requested time, with dishes still hot. We had a variety of sandwiches (extremely well filled), home made pies, home made sausage rolls, chicken and other dishes. Guests commented on how much they enjoyed it.

I ordered a birthday contract in the last minute and then changed the order in the last minute. it didn't **** her at all. they were done in time. everyone enjoyed no matter what sandwich filling they had, and all mentioned how delicious and how much filling there was. Yes, the caffe was very busy when we went to collect, but that's what's going on to show how well it is. I would not hesitate to recommend or use it again. Thank you.

We have had breakfast here often, which is always good. Today however we are having lunch, we both gone for Steak Ale Pie. Good size pie with lots of steak, a lovely filo pastry lid, the gravy is deliciously rich and plenty. Served with mash potato and selection of veg, sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower cheese, parsnip and red cabbage, all delicious. Would highly recommend, top it off, staff friendly and attentive. Cakes are always good as take away option.
