The service was unfriendly and the food was not good. There was nothing about the experience that I would suggest or want to do again.

While their beer selection is limited, they have a good variety of wines. The staff is extremely courteous and the service is quick. I would recommend this restaurant after a day at the beach or fishing.

The meal was well below par in every respect. Where to start? After having eaten some fabulous roast dinners at the many carvery options around...the region, we were annoyed with ourselves that we had decided to give this place a chance. Two small slices of meat that tasted more like they had been steamed than roasted were topped with a pathetic solo yorkshire pudding. The vegetables that accompanied the meal left much to be desired. The roast potatoes had the texture of having been reheated in a microwave, the new potatoes appeared to be out of a tin and pretty tasteless, the peas were out of a tin, the carrots were cold, the cubed swede left you feeling cold, the cauliflower and broccoli were almost visible. The most disappointing roast' dinner I've ever had to pay for. In our party someone ordered the Strawberry Flambe, with tinned strawberries! The Profiteroles were shop bought and the cheese board takes the prize for the most profit made on the least outlay with small crackers pieces of cheddar and piece of stilton with grapes and a small pot of chutney at If you want fresh, seasonal, well cooked and value for money, I would not recommend this as an option.
