What customers say?

“ We came with a big group of adults and children on a Sunday for the carvery roast. This was really good with a decent selection, very good quality for the price. The service was generally good throughout although the staff had to be apologetic about a fair few things. What holds this review back are those things; no baby change, limited drinks options (no pepsi or coke option on tap) and some menu items out of stock by lunch time on Sunday. ”

“ We had heard lots of good things about the food, so decided to book when we were back visiting my parents. We definitely were not disappointed. The beef was cooked perfectly and the range of veg was excellent and cooked very well. The best Yorkshire’s we’ve had at a carvery. Also as an extra you can get cauliflower cheese. We will definitely be back and you can even get a takeout which is a great idea. ”
