Last minute decision to eat out. They squeezed us in without a booking, but they couldn’t do enough for us. The food was exceptional, large portions a great selection of vegetables & plenty of sides if you wanted more. Every part was beautifully cooked.The staff were all so friendly & welcoming. Literally can’t fault the meal or the team. Will be back.

Thank you so much for a lovely Saturday lunch. All but one of us five ladies had the 12.50 two course lunch menu. The food was excellent. Such good value and all served piping hot. The staff are all lovely and helpful. Special mention to the young man who looked after us so well nothing was too much trouble. All in all very impressed and will definitely return

Went here for lunch today and was so impressed. I have a few health issues and the waiter spoke to the chef who went out of his way to cook a delicious vegetarian shepherd's pie. All food was freshly cooked, piping hot, and delicious. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. I go out for lunch regularly and havent seen service and food this good in a long time! Can't wait to go back!

Went last night to celebrate my dad who passed away last year. Didn't really know what to expect but was absolutely blown away. The food was amazing and beautifully presented. Good sized portions and fairly priced too. The staff were very helpful and attentive. Would definitely recommend a visit and will be going again as soon as I can. *****
