"I usually enjoy my breakfasts here but today was not one of those occasions. Would prefer traditionally British cut bacon than the American streaky stuff but hey. Tasty sausages. Fluffy pancakes. Mushrooms were full of water and not much flavour. Not sure if the tomato was meant to be grilled, fried or what but it seemed pretty fresh. I was mostly disappointed with the amount of oil that was on the plate. It was clean oil at least but even still a couple of seconds to drain/rest/dry would have been better than what I was presented with. I wasn’t sure of the extent but when I lifted the bowl my beans were in, it was quite clear as it was dripping heavily and whilst trying to take a photo, inadvertently dripped it onto my trousers. Overall, today was a bit of a shame really because I usually enjoy the food here but just not today. Parking: Plenty of parking. Roughly 12-14 car spaces. Can sometimes be busy with bikers but they’re generally very accommodating and will relocate some bikes to allow space for cars to get in."

"We went to this restaurant today with my in-laws to celebrate our 23rd wedding anniversary. The food was fantastic. I had crab tagliatini to die for, my father in law had a mussels starter that was great, and the homemade tiramisus are still, to my taste THE BEST I HAVE EVER TASTED ANYWHERE. The wine was smooth and great. Altogether a totally fantastic meal. The staff were also very helpful, friendly and attentive. A great way to spend our wedding anniversary. Thank you so very much."

"This restaurant offers fantastic food, including an excellent and generous roast. They have a great selection of beers, and the staff is very accommodating and exceptionally dog-friendly. The team was also helpful in providing directions for our walk after lunch. I would rate this place a solid 10/10 for Sunday lunch, though I can't comment on their offerings at other times."

"My birthday treat from my daughter. I had a Special Vegetable Curry, with both mushroom rice and a Chapati, Diet Coke and ice. My daughter had Prawn Korma and rice. My food was so really, really lovely, the best curry I have ever had and I mean that. Although my daughters Korma was very rich and a bit sickly due to the sauce being so sweet, so she said. The whole restaurant is on one level and the toilets too, so is OK for disabled and wheelchair users. Very busy restaurant which tells you something also, probably best to book a table when visiting. Parking spaces is on the main road and is small in size."

"Haven’t been here for many years so wanted to try it out again after seeing good reviews. My husband and I had originally booked for our anniversary dinner but ended up eating out at lunch that day instead so changed the booking for my birthday meal with our sons a few days later. Not sorry we didn’t go for anniversary as ambiance was very lacking. Lights were very bright and did not feel in the least romantic. Which really surprised me. But food was mostly very nice. Service was good and attentive. The starters were good, whitebait, bruschetta, and prawns in a chilli tomato sauce being the favourites. I had the Avocado Mamma Mia which was ok but very heavy on the Avocado compared to the small amount of prawns and smoked salmon. Out of the four main meals, the two pasta dishes were the least enjoyed due to ‘lack of flavour’ but I enjoyed the fillet of beef medallions in peppercorn sauce and one of my sons enjoyed his risotto then finished off Dad’s leftover seafood pasta. Desserts were lovely. Profiteroles, honeycomb cheesecake and vanilla gelato. No complaints there! I didn’t see the bill but I imagine it wasn’t cheap. We had one bottle of Pinot and I had a glass of the delicious dessert wine. Other than that we all just drank water which may have kept the price down just a little. Overall a nice evening was had. Would I rush back? Probably not anytime very soon as there are other places I’d like to try. But I’m glad we gave it a go."
