"Four of us visited for a sunday lunch. Was a very nice and quiet place. Friendly staff on arrival. Great selection of drinks too. Sunday lunch menu was limited but by no means a let down. This in fact made the food better as it was clearly all fresh. Soup starters were nice and clearly home made. Then the main event. I had the jolly roast which was amazing. Lots of meat and cooked to perfection! Everyone enjoyed their meals. My wife had a vegetarian option which she enjoyed and the pie was very nice by all accounts. Puddings were great too. The cheesecake is highly recommended! Overall a great meal in a lovely place we will be returning! Also they were very accommodating with children which is a big bonus!!!"

"This was our second Route 66 motorcycle reunion here, 18 people stayed in 9 rooms for dinner, bed and breakfast. A big thank you to Roxy for booking all the rooms when there was an issue with your computers. Thanks to Miriam for sending the menu for our food pre-orders and to Reya for booking us all in on the day of our stay; all were friendly and helpful as ever. A big thank you to Toni and her team for setting us up for dinner in a “private” area just for us, for getting all the food out in good time and all together and also taking extra orders for desserts, and thanks to the chefs too. Thanks to Devon for checking to make sure everything was OK. It was appreciated by us all. We all had a great stay and there is a possibility that we will book here next year for another reunion!"

""We recently enjoyed a delightful family lunch at a local restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it the perfect spot for a gathering. The menu offered a variety of options that catered to everyone’s tastes, from hearty entrees to lighter fare. We started with some appetizers, which were flavorful and beautifully presented. For the main course, each family member chose something different, and we all left satisfied with our choices. The service was attentive yet unobtrusive, allowing us to enjoy our time together. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience, and we look forward to returning soon!""

"a mother night, we were 7. The place was dead and not a great atmosphere from the moment we arrived. we had booked in advance. the staff was very good to get drinks, but unfortunately, when it came to the food order did not get so good. we said there was something special, but when the young lady was asked, the young lady was empty for a few minutes. when we were asked again about them, we were told to go the other end of the restaurant and make a photo of the specials board. eating was amazing not to fail, fresh and really delicious. at 9:25 o'clock we were last commanded by the bar and at 10 o'clock we were torn out of the door. we fought for signal to order taxis as we expected later. the workers knew we were fighting, but still locked us up. it took 45 minutes to finally get a taxi. not good and will not be in a hurry to return."

"So we 've been here a few times and the service and food have always been spot on. However we 've been the last 2 weekends on the trot and unfortunatley the standards have seemed to drop a little. Last weekend went we went, I had gotten the wrong time of our booking but the staff were very accomodating and simply moved the time. (If the staff read this they probably know exactly who 's writing this : . So thank you for that. Now onto the rest of the evening. The drinks orders were taken very quickly and so were the food orders which was great. However, the time that we actually had to wait for the food seemed very long this time compared to others and the resturant wasn 't busy. I think it was us and maybe another 4 tables if that at our time of ordering. The food itself was very good as usual which is the reason we didn 't complain about the waiting time. The desserts that came next which still seemed to take a while for 2 ice creams and a brownie, were lovely. Though I will say that 2 cookies did make my dish just a little to sickly so maybe just one cookie on top would be fine. The service itself wasn 't as great as usual. Both of our servers that came to take our orders were chewing gum! They were not discreet about it and were very clearly chowing down on it while we were ordering which wasn 't very nice to be honest but again the overall was lovely so we didn 't complain. This weekend we went again (yes I got the right time this week : , Again the drinks order was taken quite quickly and they were delivered fairly quickly to. Execpt this weekend we ended up waiting longer for someone to take our food order which was odd. Our servers didn 't even ask if we were ready to order just popped the drinks on the table and walked off. Eventually someone did come back to take the order and this time there was no gum which was great. Again though the wait for the food seemed very excessive with no communication while we were waiting. I think it was probably a good 35-40 minute wait for the food this time. I notice there were 2 tables of 8 went I went to the bathroom and when we left I could hear music in the tent thing outside. If this was causing a longer wait it would have been nice just for someone to pop over and say 'I 'm sorry about the wait we 've got........ '. Anyway back to the food. The food was nice for the most part as usual. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his, the only little issue we had was my mothers fish pie. In all fairness to my mum this sauce was extremely running and didn 't look very nice at all. Anyway so told the server that and as a good person would the lady did ask if there was something she could do about it. So that response was lovely. Now when a lad came to clear the dishes he was lovely (I don 't know if he was new , but he informed us that ice cream came with the child meal and asked what flavour. We told him thinking he was going to take the whole pudding order and he didnt. He made a note then walked off.It wasn 't until they brought that out that they took our order for our puddings. I do want to make a note that the servers did continue to walk in and out of the room but still didn 't communicate with us at all. As an overall experience over the last few times I don 't feel like the service and food have been as good as before but we would still go back. None of this critism it 's purely just feedback which will hopefully help you with keeping your services to a high standard."
