I've been wanting to go here for many years, but something always comes up when it is finally arranged. I finally went today - note to self, go spontaneously and it'll happen! - I'm so disappointed that I didn't go earlier and that I've been missing out for years! The staff were so lovely and friendly. My sister, baby niece and myself arrived at about 12:30pm to a very busy lunch service. The service was excellent, attentive and friendly, despite it being very busy. The food was absolutely beautiful and the portions were very fair. I had the pâté to start, which was lovely. My sister enjoyed her potato skins. We were both really impressed with the mains. My fish was massive, and the chips were beautiful, though it did nearly kill me to finish it all! My sister really enjoyed her calves liver, mash and peas. The coffees were really nice, the syrups are superior to what Starbucks and Costa use and actually taste like what they claim to be. The hazelnut and amaretto ones are lovely. My sister managed some Biscoff cheesecake, which she really enjoyed. I tried a tiny bit because I'm hooked on Biscoff, and it was lovely. It was a really nice dining experience, the food was exceptional and the service was fantastic. Will absolutely be back. Thank you :).
Lovely afternoon visit and waitress was really pleasant. Nice pint of Madri and only had a couple of portions of chips which were as gorgeous as usual.
A place we visit often for lunch. Very good menu at reasonable cost and table service for food and drink. Free parking. Wheelchair accessible. Recommended.
Edited to say.... I hope our visit last night was a one off as it was terrible, the waitress was in a foul mood and practically threw the food at us, the chicken was overcooked and comedically rubbery, the chips looked good but they were hard and raw! A restaurant is only as good as the last meal so unfortunately it's slipped way down my list of places to eat now. This is our regular place where the food is consistently good and we can always get a table. The Sunday lunch is a lovely treat as is the full English breakfast. The staff are very hardworking and always seem busy but they still manage to smile and are more than happy to deal with any queries. My go to is the liver and mash potato, its really yummy and very filling. We are able to take our dog in and they welcome him with a bowl of water and a treat. Definitely worth a visit if you've never been before.
Always enjoyed the food here and usually the reason we call in. Despite having good beers and bespoke furniture, the place is devoid of pub atmosphere and character due to it's layout. Makes a lovely place feel like a working mans club. Easily rectified by dividing the room with walls and glass partitions. This would reduce the noise when busy or a party group in. I know we are currently on the run up to Christmas and things are busy but we left after a drink when we had intended to dine last night. Couldn't hear ourselves speak. Poorly printed temporary menus stapled together understates the quality of the food. Good management is attention to detail. Just look at how the other chain owned pubs make the most of the space and their food doesn't compare with quality here.
