Had the carvery, I know I've lost 50% of you already but this carvery is unusual in that it was really tasty, I had the roast beef which was delicious as were the vegetables, I had a roulade to finish, all for 12.50.

The food was very good, and well presented. The table service was friendly, and very courteous. However, as a fairly large group of people, we were crammed into the back room, where the entrances to the toilets are. There was a steady stream of people walking through our tables all evening, and not one of these people had masks on, as the government's advice currently asks.

The food was below average and expensive,
we asked 4 different people for a drinks order and none responded saying someone else would be along to do it (even approaching The bar we were told we had to order at our table) No one came back even to ask how the food was and when we were billed they failed to deduct the 40 we were made to pay on booking, once they had our food order they were not bothered even when we made our dissatisfaction known when paying they just shrugged it off. Will not be returning!
