Whilst our starters were acceptable, the main courses were poor. In particular the Halibut and mussel risotto at £24 was a disaster. Hot plates were not used which didn't help and dishes. Maybe the chef was on holiday but that is no excuse.

The food was outstanding, although it was difficult to finish all three courses. We were also treated to coffee and mints in the bar/lounge, where a table had been reserved for us. We found a pleasant surprise gift for Fathers as well.

We were shown to our table by the charming waitresses. We had pre-booked the 3 course lunch menu, 2 of us having the soup and 1 the smoked salmon all agreed that it was of a high standard. The mains gave plenty of choice I had the turkey with all of the trimmings, my wife and daughter having the lamb, the food was delicious, very well presented and plentiful. We all agreed that it was a very pleasant atmosphere and there were plenty of other patrons here, who all seemed to be having a good time, the waitresses were very good and very pleasant. the desert was delicious and the chef had even written happy birthday on the daughters dish in chocolate : , mince pies and coffee followed , all in all we had a lovely time we were well sated and for under £20 pp excellent value.

The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was definitely worth visiting for a special treat. They also have special offers that make it more affordable, but we chose to indulge in their steak and were not disappointed. The restaurant has a cozy decor and background music playing, creating a nice atmosphere.

The food was delicious and the service was friendly. The only strange thing we noticed was that we were never offered any water for the table. But overall, it was a great restaurant with a lovely dinner experience.
