Delicious turkey dinner, with enough mash and roasties I actually felt full afterwards. Dessert was rich and packed with flavour, and the service was fab as well. Very nice for a family Sunday lunch! Looking at around 13-17 for a main.

Burger tasted like it was a frozen patty, had absolutely no seasoning, and was VERY overcooked, dry like bad fast food. The tiny bit of pulled pork on top provided the only flavor. Side Caesar salad was less "dressed with Caesar dressing" than "drowned in mayonnaise that a garlic clove has been waved near" (which may just be a UK thing? It's happened before). Appetizer tiger prawns were bland and under-seasoned. Beer was good and servers were nice, but would never recommend eating here.

Great food and incredible service. Plenty of distanced tables with options to reserve. Food is always fresh, full of flavour and warm! Service is welcoming, friendly and very efficient even when busy. Recently added outdoor bubbles which can be booked. About 8-10 seats with blankets and lights. Would make a fun evening in these darker nights.
