The starters and mains here are lovely. The food we ordered was really good. The staff were very friendly and provided a great service. The deserts are not worth the calories. The decor is ok, but feels more like a tea room and does the good quality food a disservice.

Fantastic family birthday lunch Saturday 02 October. Attentive, friendly & efficient staff, lovely atmosphere & great service. The food was absolutely fabulous. The mozzarella sticks & mushrooms on toast starters were excellent as werke the steaks & fish & chips main courses. The most divine dish I have had in a long time however was the turbot, I cannot recommend it highly enough. Try it, you won't regret it. This has to be my go to restaurant for value for money, a relaxed meal in a lovely setting but most of all, the best food.

Went for a family birthday and food and service delicious, as always! Particularly wanted to mention the attention to detail in terms of allergies. My mother has a few quite serious allergies and had mentioned these when booking. The staff had double checked the menu before we arrived so that they could point out which dishes weren't safe straight away to avoid disappointment or accidental ingestion. This was a really thoughtful and well appreciated touch. Thank you!
