Came here today to celebrate my mother in laws birthday as we had already reserved our table we waited to get shown our table.As there didn't seem to be anyone available after a 20 minute wait my husband finally found our table.We ordered our food and drinks online we were there for 2pm didn't get our drinks until 15 minutes later than were told our meal would be 30 minute late as we had already paid we had no choice but to do that. It came actually 40 minute later I told the woman it was disgusting waiting this long she said that there was only her and someone else on hand so obviously need more staff,although the food was nice when my husband asked how long the delay would be on the dessert she said 45 minutes!!! We just left after that your service is appalling and I won't ever eat at this place again!!

Booked a table for 2 o'clock. Arrived five minutes before. After waiting for over 15 minutes i wandered off to find the table I had reserved. The app was slow finally ordered food at twenty five past two. Then I was Informed that there was a half hour delay. When at ten past three we finally got our food, I asked if we ordered pudding how long it would be and was told it would take forty-five minutes.I decided not bother. Very disappointed with the service i think it takes the mick that when you pay on the app the first thing it asks is what size tip you were giving. Left feeling very unsatisfied will not be going back. This establishment has certainly went downhill in the past year seems to be very under staffed.

Food was not anywhere as nice as precious times. Mine came out later then the rest of the meals as I had to ask where it was, the chips were also half done too. The pint tasted old and flat, the nicest part of the food and drinks I had was the Pepsi my partner had

First time here, early on a Sunday afternoon and the place was less than half full, so was wondering why. We didn't need to worry. Meals turned up quickly and were excellent. We both had the standard mixed grill ( brilliant idea to serve it on a bed of sizzling onions ). So glad I didn't opt for the large option, would never have finished it. Will definitely be going back there soon.

Been visiting here with a friend regularly for breakfast, as offering a good range of veggie and vegan food. Service is usually really good and food of a high quality, so slightly disappointed when I brought my other half for the vegetarian breakfast to find they got the order wrong, twice and didn’t have any alternative milk available. The girl was really nice though and quickly got it sorted.
