"WOOW just WOW. I chose this place as id seen a lot of pictures and what Ben has done when we hit lock down. It was a place where we met my old friends. And no one was disappointed with the food. Three of our table had the vegan tart and they said it was full of flavour and amazing. All three courses were brilliant that everyone has made plans to bring their partners there !! Definitely recommend to anyone ????????????"

"I have constantly heard mixed reviews of this restaurant, when i had finally decided to book in i noticed how ridiculously rude the business owner is to his staff, the food was the only good part of the experience but it was seriously upsetting to see what those poor girls had to go through, I hope that in the future either the manager decides to change his attitude towards his staff as they were all lovely girls apart from one who seemed quite hostile, but either way I couldn’t blame her working with a boss like that must be extremely harsh on your mental wellbeing. Personally would give this place a miss until the manager decides to treat his staff fairly."

"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."

"Today you need to be on top of your game to survive in business. Why have signs saying serving food all day if you don't. If it had been my business embarrassment would have made me at least offer to make a sandwich as there was only ONE other customer. Good luck for the future. Service: 4"

"Fish and Chips is exactly that nothing spectacular, but there's a big difference in quality. I've visited three difference chippies in this area, and this one is the best so far. The food is very clean looking, well presented, cooked properly, and very tasty. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I don't often find fish and chips outside Yorkshire which are any good, but this is certainly one of the exceptions, which is why I've been quite a number of times while working down this way. Well done folks, and thanks for keeping me well fed :"
