"Lunchtime Indian seemed a good idea after a good walk in the morning, rather tired surroundings but decided to give it a go since you cannot always judge the quality of the food by the surroundings, however I was quite wrong. The vegetarian platter was 2 x samosa’s and a load of onion bhajis, technically a mix but far below what you would typically expect. The salad accompanying it was obviously in mourning for the summer having passed and seemed about as depressed by the decor than we were. The mains came with all the flair of a wet flannel. Soggy rice masquerading as pilau, mains ok but tasted as if the gravy came out of a bottle. Wife liked her vegetables so some consolation. The naan seemed more like a paratha and certainly had never seen the inside of a tandoor. If you love Indian food, steer well clear, it does not taste like the chef does!"

Couldn't fault the food, which was well presented, tasty and reasonably priced. The service was very friendly. If the decor was nicer then I would have given 5 stars.

My sister and I had a fantastic takeout experience at the Schooner. The food was delicious, and we were served by a delightful young man. I highly recommend trying their Indian cuisine for a truly enjoyable meal.

We were met at the door for our 6.30pm booking and informed they were not serving food because the chef had gone home! When asked why had they accepted my booking they denied knowing anything about our booking or the Opentable App. Disgusting behaviour, don’t waste your time here.

Intended having lunch. An absolute disgrace of a place. Filthy. Shocking staff. Horrendously expensive drinks, a shandy and a glass of wine, 14 quid! The beer garden looked like a council refuse tip. We warned a couple on the way in and thankfully they went elsewhere. A total dump of the highest order!

We went here with American friends. Place lacked a little atmosphere and looked a bit tired but we liked menu. Service was a bit slow with only two staff but staff were pleasant and accommodating and tableware spotless, well until I spilled something on it. We had variety of dishes. Had quite a long wait for food but worth the wait. Lovely and freshly cooked... Best peshawar naan I've had in ages.

We turned up and waited at reception for staff to appear, when someone finally came out he just handed us menus and walked off, after we had seated ourselves I went to the bar to order drinks, nobody was there so I waited, nobody came and after 10 minutes we left, the toilets here were dirty with no Locks on the ladies or a door to get into them, the place was a building site and was dirty all around the bar area, we will not be back.

We rang up the night before to book a table for the following evening. We were very dubious after then seeing the reviews but decided to give it a go as no recent reviews. Table was booked for 6pm, we arrived at 545pm and the doors were locked, we then came back around 6pm and still locked, with no sign, tried calling and could hear phone ringing but no answer. We are relieved this was shut after seeing the other reviews, but absolutely shocking. However a lovely restaurant nearby managed to squeeze us in, and it was perfect, so would recommend Hope and Anchor!

OMG...where do I start! This place should honestly be shut down. We were going to stay here for a 'spooky experience '! So pleased we were saved from spending the night here. Well to start with, nobody answers the phones, there are no staff about when you go in.You are left standing at the bar for ages. Customer service is atrocious. The atmosphere is horrendous. It is dirty and mould on walls and ceilings. There is water dripping from a hole in the ceiling also. The chairs and settees smell and the worst thing ever is the rat poisoning and rat traps behind the chairs. Please DO NOT enter this building. There is some serious health and safety issues with this place. Could not wait to get out...
