8 of us ate here (6 adults and 2 children)
The menu had so many delicious dishes to choose from and the prices were reasonable. We were well looked after, the staff were friendly and attentive. A lovely meal.

Went for Christmas Dinner because of the quality service when we went a couple of months ago. Again, excellent food, excellent service, never went with a drink, would highly recommend and will be definitely returning.

Very nice staff but awful food, my scampi was laden with fat, my wife's pigs in blankets was inedible, how they managed to under cook the bacon and burn the sausages. Why do staff ask you how things were, when they then do nothing when you have legitimate complaints? Will not return.

Was there for food and New Years Eve, food left a lot to be desired, wouldn't say it was worth 39 was very disappointed. Entertainment was more like karaoke and the girls singing were a bit off key. Would not spend new year there again,

Came here for lunch for the first time and it is a lovely wee place. Service was ok. A server did spill a glass of coke but did apologise. Accidents happen but obviously does impact the visit. Service was not bad but didn't stand out. The absolute highlight though was the pork belly. An amazing bit of meat cooked to absolute perfection. That by itself is a 5/5. It was meant to come with bubble and squeak but it was more like mash (which I wouldn't have chosen). But good value and portion all in all
Inspired by the quality I chose the crumble of the day! It was toffee Apple which sounded amazing
