Went on Sunday the 23rd of January and very disappointed with the beef on the Sunday dinner wasn't nice at all. Cheap processed meat. Had Italian food there beginning of January and couldn't fault that but definitely need to work on the meat on a Sunday dinner.

What a disappointment this restaurant was. Five of us went for a Christmas work lunch and all regretted it. The starters were good (potato skins, muscles, garlic mushrooms) but the main courses were dreadful and we all had upset stomachs afterwards. One colleague was unable to eat his Bolognese as it was too salty and had an odd flavour. The two lasagnes were also seriously salty. The chicken breast was small and swamped in sauce though the veg was good. The veg pizza was ok, a soggy bottom but ok. The waitress asked about the meals & the saltiness was reported. It was evident my colleague had
