Amazing food and staff The fish and chips were fantastic. The chips tasted amazing and the fish was beautiful. The dessert made the evening. I've never had such a good treacle tart before.

Had a lovely lunch with friends, couldn't fault the food. However, it took two hours to be served two courses. Think more staff are needed to make a more efficient service. The staff were running around like headless chickens. Another delicious lunch today with a healthy dessert too!

Booked a table in the restaurant for a Sunday, my friends called and asked if pizza was being served on the Sunday and they were told yes. So when we arrived we were then told Pizza was not being served and is never served on Sundays. The reason we booked a table was because our friend's son was celebrating his birthday and wanted to have pizza and so did we. After deciding to stay and order something else the waitress who took our drinks order and food order clearly had no interest in being there and wanting to serve us, her attitude was awful and distant from showing any interest in us. The food we ordered was nice but the whole evening was spoilt by being lied to when booking the table and the service was just depressing and dull. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

I will start by saying the food we received was very nice. However the place is let down by its customer service. Went for a birthday meal after a request from my son for good pizza for his birthday meal out. I rang to confirm the pizza menu was available on Sundays, clarified this twice before booking. When we got there there was no pizza available as they don't do pizzas on Sundays (the family next to us had exactly the same issue as they were told the same when booking).

The staff were extremely disappointed interested and rude response was just like we havnt done pizza in Sundays for ages when I said we had called to confirm I got a lovely eye roll in response and just told well you were told wrong. No apology for wrong info. She then just walked away. No menus given or anything. 10 min later I had to ask for a menu as she still hadn't brought them. The several waitresses we had seemed rather bored to be there never came to check on the meal or if we needed more drinks. We did call them over to order more drinks in the end. Not sure we would return.
