Good value, friendly staff, loved eating, clean and free parking. Excellent. We're coming back

We popped in after a day out yesterday the new bank holiday. It was very busy pity when parties of 2 people take up a bigger table when tables for 2 were free) The place is lovely great atmosphere and feel. Toilets were clean and tidy. The service on whole was great one young staff member not very helpful when I asked about menu and took her ages to clear tables, but a lovely guy served us the meal and blonde lady so friendly done payment,good fresh food we had 2 x garlic mushrooms son I, hubby had caesar salad, mains Id Chicken maryland was lovely the pineapple banana and sweetcorn fritters were unusual but really nice. Hubby had turkey and ham nice deep gravy and son had steak sambo, all really well cooked and served could do with maybe a bit more veg and potatoes with a main meal.I was raging the roast beef had sold out. Will definitely be back it was a really lovely place with decent food, staff and prices. Well done to all.
