Went last night, as always like to give the benefit of doubt, and places do have off days, but once again the carvery was quite frankly awful, burnt hard roast potatoes barely cooked chunks of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower cheese that was turning to mush,and the usually very nice melt in the mouth Yorkshire puddings were like frisbees, the place was empty, and in the whole hour we were there nobody went up for a carvery, I dread to think how long it had been sat there before I went up for mine, it was barely warm, I did however, for the first time in my life, mention how disappointed I was, I didn't want a refund, as I feel this place needs the custom at the minute, but it really needs to get back to how brilliant it used to be, the other meals my family had were all rather lovely, which makes it difficult to understand how the carvery has gone so downhill, also very understaffed, 2 girls on and they were really lovely and polite. I do hope this place sorts itself out soon, we will continue to return here, but I will stick to the main menu.

It tasted every bit as awful as it looked, every chunk requiring ten minutes of chewing. The vegetables were tasteless, cooked to submission. I then thought I would try a pudding and went for classic chocolate fudge cake. When this eventually arrived it was as dry as the Sahara desert with a small blob of ice cream to try and add some moisture. The chocolate had a strange minty taste that made it taste off , I could not finish it and I have up after a few mouthfuls. This was not just unique to myself, my other six friends had the same experience with the awful food and the long wait times to actually get our meals delivered to our plates. From speaking to other diners the place has really gone down hill. Avoid and go eat somewhere else, it was my father 's birthday meal and we were very disappointed.
