There is seating both indoors and outdoors, as well as a good variety of wines and spirits to choose from. They also have a pool table for a fun game with friends. While they do offer food, I only had a few drinks with my colleagues after work.

The portion was generous, the food was served hot and fresh, and the meat was deliciously tender. The only downside was that there wasn't a gluten-free option for the Yorkshire pudding that my daughter loves. It would be great if they could have a frozen gluten-free option available for those who need it. Overall, it was a fabulous meal.

The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding and enjoying a meal. read more The food was fantastic and the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding and enjoying a meal.

A group of us treated my mother in law to Mother’s Day lunch here, and honestly I wonder why we bothered. First of all the service was awful, two waitresses were rude and we felt very unwelcome, despite booking a month in advance and pre ordering our food. Our booking was at 1:45 but we didn’t get sat till 2 and didn’t get our food till gone 2:30. The set up of our table was awful, with one of the tables being considerably taller than the other. If you can’t allow for a large group, don’t book them in, simple as that. The food wasn’t particularly great either, roast potatoes burned on outside rock hard on inside, parsnips thin and burnt to a crisp, Yorkshire was just nasty. Beef was okay and albeit the stuffing was delicious. The worst part and the main reason I will not be returning is the waitress placing very hot plates of vegetables right over in front of my 1 year old daughter, with just a comment saying it’s very hot, how about placing them somewhere else away from her? I get there were drinks on the table but you could’ve asked us to move them to allow you to put it away from her. If anything had dropped or landed on her I would have been fuming. I cannot recommend this place, the staff and food were just awful and I feel conned out of £70.
