This was the first time for us visiting here, and I will definitely be going again. The staff are lovely and the service and the food was tasty. We had a mix of food off the menu and we had carvery for 6 of us. Quite good value for money and very nice too. 👌 I would definitely recommend it here if you want a lovely meal.
We have been coming here for years and generally the experience is great. There seems to be less tables now than there used to be and pretty much no hope of getting a table without pre-booking. Yet a lot of tables are left empty for over an hour, sometimes up to three. Perhaps they could allow walk ins to sit at these and just explain that they do have a time limit though.
Went with my two young children, nieces and my brother and sister. I booked and reserved a table a few hours before, in person, while my children played in the Wacky. I asked staff if the carvery was available and what time it finished, I was told that the time I booked would be fine as the carvery ran til 8pm. Our reservation was at 5:45pm. When we came for our reservation, I ordered our food on the app. Once I had confirmed the table number and pressed order a waitress approached and told us that he carvery was no longer available, we were seated by the carvery and all the food was still displayed. I was able to change the child's carvery to another meal but felt rushed to order two other adult meals as the children were hungry. I ended up not ordering anything else and two of the party didn't eat. My bill was £70 and we instead of enjoying the food we didn't received 1/3 of what was ordered. This is twice I have attended this establishment with the intention of having a carvery and once I have got there found the carvery is off before the sign/website states. Staff very friendly though.
When you read bad reviews and don't believe it - please do! Went there today with my kid to check for myself. I don't recommend it. Menu cards old, dirty and outdated. Stuff is very very slow, but friendly. Some looking at you avoid serving, some running around confused, some clearing the tables, which is all good, but not when people are queuing behind you and you just smiling impatiently as it takes about 15 min to get a drink to the point when you just want to walk out without paying. Very understuffed! Toilets are extremely dirty and smelly with no soap and tissue in. Food arrived ok. Tasted better. We both had some chips and peas. Chicken was ok. Ice cream sundae was lovely and arrived fast. Won't be hurrying back!
Absolutely appalling. Ordered food and drinks with our meal. The food came (shown in photo a mouldy pea which was complained about but not given any help by staff about) and we waited 45 mins for drinks. I asked a member of staff where the drinks might be (politely) and he said they will be with you in 5 so I thought okay, they must just be busy. Nope. Staff talking behind bar uninterested. Had to go to the bar, leaving food to go cold as I had to wait for drinks. Waited 15 minutes at the bar to be spoken to and nobody was interested to do their job so went to sit down. Complained again for the drinks. Took a further 20 mins to arrive and the assistant manager came over. This man was the rudest most disrespectful person I have ever come into contact with. I asked why I had to wait almost two hours for a drink he complained he was busy. From what I saw, he was not. He spoke to me in such a rude manner after I complained about the pea, the drinks and the meal overall with us having to leave it go cold. If i was a man, I would have not got this customer service from him. After discussing with him, he went to the bar and talked to staff members about our conversation. I felt so uncomfortable and out of place that I just decided to leave. I am appalled and completely taken back by how appalling this place handle customers. Do better. This was so wrong. The place could be so much better had they not been chatting and acknowledged customers. For reference- the “assistant manager” is some bald guy, be warned when visiting!
