The waiting staff were excellent. Sadley the food let it down. My curry was watery, naan bread hard. Others in the group felt disappointed. What a shame!

Was not impressed with the food. Have had much better food for less money. Too many burgers on the menu and not enough other choice

Food was pretty good. My husband had the sirloin and said it was lovely,very good value. Puddings were £7 ish, which is average these days but I think it's very expensive for a tiny pudding. The waitress was very nice, friendly and efficient.

The only thing that spoilt our visit was the attitude of the staff! We had booked for 10 but unfortunately 12 people attended. When asked if we could move the table for 2 up to the table booked we were advised we could not however 2 people were allowed to sit at the table, this made no sense whatsoever! It was the way in which the staff spoke to us that was the issue, unwilling to accommodate our request which was not unreasonable but then telling us near the end of the visit that we could now move the tables together! Wont be visiting again.

The hunters chicken was very tough, unable to cut had to pull apart and the onion rings were over cooked. I should have complained but I was with my friend who I hadn’t seen for 12 months so didn’t want the evening focused on a bad meal.
