“ Gorgeous venue, steaks are amazing and cooked perfectly, a lovely evening enjoyed by us all. ”
“ Love the decor, enjoyed a pint with some lite bites, hope to come back for dinner another time. ”
“ Amazing tasty food, sauces were bursting with flavour !! Venison pappardelle and pan roast chicken breast, bacon, mushrooms and pearl onions in a creamy mead sauce, with spring onion mash . Good size portions . Will definitely return . ”
“ The room itself is very spacious and nicely decorated. The bar area is central and that is where you order your drinks and food. It wasn't very busy and very few people were eating so the service once the orders were placed was very efficient, with all 4 meals arriving at the same time. The ordering process was a bit of a faff as whilst there were 2 till areas you could only use one, and as the night progressed this was surrounded by people standing at the bar, so you had to push through. The fish and chips I ordered were nicely cooked with a decent portions being provided. The sticky toffee pudding was nothing special though, with the sponge being pretty tasteless are requiring a dunk in the toffee sauce. ”
