Went to the restaurant for a Sunday roast and had a terrible experience. I'm sure the restaurant staff are great but must have just been a one off experience. The saving grace of my experience was the dessert. I recommend the sticky toffee pudding, it was delicious! I have a severe mushroom allergy which I mentioned to the server, requested for none to be in my food (I'm vegetarian with a mushroom allergy, not the best combination!). They said with confidence there weren't going to be any, when the food arrived I get half way through and I have a reaction.
Waitresses seemed like they really

Quick and friendly check in ,room ok spacious size , bed very noisy.only one bar of soap in bathroom nothing else! Room opens out to the carpark so can hear people talking and car's starting late night and early hour's only booked because it was included breakfast only to find out it's continental breakfast after you've booked it! Food was okay but be careful what your order, ordered garlic bread with cheese didn't come with cheese but ate it anyway as not a fan of send food back to the kitchen, you could blanty see it didn't have cheese on it but wouldn't take it of the bill! 50p !!!honestly

We booked for the Christmas menu and I can honestly say that it was the best Xmas meal out we've ever had. Visited before for the normal menu which is also FAB. Great service, lovely food - Vegetarian option was great. We stayed for cocktails in the bar which were great too.
