"Firstly I will say I have eaten here several times and always been impressed with the food and the service. Decided to take them family down for a breakfast on a rare Sunday when everybody was not busy. Started queuing , there was a couple in front of us that were waiting to be seated that gave up despite half the main restaurant being empty. There only appeared to be two people serving and they were rushed off their feet. Eventually seated outside as no tables big enough inside for our party size but the table were filthy so ended up cleaning ourselves. Eventually ordered, half the drinks came after 10 minutes, the food took nearly 40 minutes to arrive and no hot drinks served. Hot drinks turned up as we were finishing food. The sausage on the lounge breakfasts are normally nice tasty big pork sausages, today was 1 tiny thin sausage with no taste, the bacon was burnt to a crisp, cold beans just not good. Staff seemed harassed as they were over run. For the money charged today was certainly a let down, every other time I have been has been weekdays and the food is usually great and service good so maybe an off day today."

Been a few times over the past couple of weeks for lunch and I can’t fault a thing. It’s always been quick service with lovely staff, really good value food and such a selection on the menu. Cannot recommend the pink lemonade enough!

We ate outside. Table not cleaned a woman at another table was smoking despite it being a non smoking area. Staff did nothing to stop her. Young man who served us was over familiar with his name calling I found it unpleasant. Main course was lovely then we ordered dessert coffee. Coffee was served way before the dessert.

Popped in for some breakfast as we hadnt been here before. A good locations and the decor was also very good.. You order at your table through the app or goto bar with your order. Overal the service was good but the food was pretty average.. Hard Poached eggs, overdone pre cooked sausages and dry beans.. The coffee and **** Mary was excellent though View menu

Good over all. My food was fine and value for money. The only negative is the kids meal looked like it could have had a little more love put into it. Maybe try getting a bun that is the same size as the children’s burger. Or a slightly bigger burger. Also please don’t use the peelings of the carrot for the snack pot. There was still dirt in the skin. Again great idea but just a bit more thought. Service was fantastic and definitely child friendly.

I had a lovely meal here with my family yesterday. We’ve visited maybe around 30 times since it’s been open and it’s never disappointed us. Lovely food, staff and atmosphere. Sadly yesterday it was ruined, but not by the restaurant but a customer. All he did was moan after ordering 5 different dishes, eating them all and then complaining that they weren’t cooked properly. He even had the nerve to tell the waiter to tell the chef to pull his socks up. In the end we moved inside.

Came for Father’s Day as a group of 7 couldn’t book ahead for lunch which is a ridiculous system for everyone, arrived were not greeted pleasantly, asked for table told we could go and sit at a table that hadn’t been cleaned If we wanted and wait , then left, asked if we could move the tables that were available a little closer told they aren’t allowed to move tables at which point two other smaller groups came in and got seated, This all could have been avoided if we could have booked , the staff would have known how many customers they were catering for and everything would have run smoother, I won’t be returning as they were rude and un accommodating View menu

It took 30 minutes for drinks to come out, 50 minutes for food, When food did come out all was stone cold. They did offer to re-cook the meals which is why I have given 2 stars rather than 1. They also didn't bring out the snack pot for our 2 year old which would of been good with the long wait, even though we asked for it after 20 minutes of waiting, we didn't get it at all. This is a shame as being local in the town it was one of our favourite places to have brunch, but it seems to have gone downhill based on the last few times we've been. We even left a tip as you are made to leave this when you order the food, which is completely wrong in my opinion. We won't be coming back.

30 mins for a small breakfast to arrive, no offer of sauces when delivered (which I did actually want). I advised that my pot of tea still hadn't come out and the girl said they were doing it, but no apology offered. One of my breakfast items was broken up on the plate. Nobody came around to ask if everything was okay, which would have allowed me to feedback directly. Just after I finished eating, my pot of tea was brought out, with a grunt for what passed for an apology, by now some 45 minutes after placing my order. Service has gone downhill over the last few weeks and, whilst they were quite busy, you still expect service to be better than they're giving. Second time this has happened in...

"We came here on a last minute hunt to find a Sunday roast with family without much expectations. However when entering its a lovely set up and we were greeted by Lee and Alison who looked after us for the meal who just to begin were absolutely brilliant, they really care about the customers and make this place extra special. Now for the food you can get a 2 or 3 course meal so everybody made various selections but all had starters. Most went for the Aarancina which isn't your usual starter with a Sunday roast but for here it packs alot of flavour and is a great way to start the meal. They have a great selection of alcoholic beverages I went for a simple beer. For the main roasts we had a variety of meats I wanted the pork but sadly they had no crackling which was half the reason for ordering but if I am being honest after eating the meal it wasn't missed out the meat was tasty full of flavour but the sides were the key. The roast potatoes were of a top level usually when you eat out they are never as good as eating at home, the Yorkshire were huge and tasty, gravy brilliant with plenty to go around and lots of veg and cauliflower cheese on the side. Honestly this was excellent a really good roast probably the best I have ever ate in a resteraunt. Some of the others had the lamb shank which was huge and had great feedback but the beef was great and so was everything else. So yes check it out eat in and eat some great food in a nice setting with absolutely brilliant service you won't be disappointed."
