The service does need to improve and their organisation. We made a booking via the pub at the front during the day, when we got their they said... More

I visited here recently for lunch and I enjoyed it very much.. Only problem was when we arrived we were standing there for approx 20 minutes trying to get the attention of someone whilst the waitress was on the phone. Then when she did get off and we asked for a table she told us as long as we ordered... More

We have always enjoyed the food here. The Lamb Shoulder melts in your mouth and the sharing plate for two is mammoth, full of antipasto, cheeses and dips and served with crusty bread. Really lovely on a summers day. The service has always been efficient and friendly.

I enjoyed the food and service here. I ordered the seafood platter for one - was yummy, although they forgot to put my scallops on the platter, and I didn't realise until the next day when a friend asked me if I had enjoyed the scallops there, and I realised they had never given them to me! Salad was average... More
