My partner and I visited last night for a date night. I can only say that we both enjoyed our way, eating was on site and the staff was very friendly and polite. we had a chat and a giggle with the bar staff while our drinks and eating ordered. the food that was delivered to us was unbelievable, I've never seen so big prawns. the only thing we could do with was the scallops were a little small, but there was a fair amount of them to make sure. I would recommend it to everyone I know. many thanks for a beautiful experience.

I remember having a fantastic Sunday brunch at Karvery. The portions were generous and delicious.

The dining experience at this restaurant is always pleasant, with friendly and attentive staff who provide excellent service.

Beautiful pub. Great location. Friendly staff. Let down by the calvery. Meat good but veg frozen and heated through so no flavour and not a great texture. Cauliflower cheese runny and not much cheese due to frozen cauliflower so limp flavourless. Real shame as could have been so much better. Price per person: £10–20 Food: 2 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 3
