We looked for a LOCAL restaurant for a lunch time meal. Didn't want fast food BUT didn't want sky high prices. Had passed this one several times and of an evening it was always busy. Looked up the menu on the WEB and decided to try it. It was very resonably priced at £12.95 for three courses. Service was 1st... More

Pleasant surroundings and attentive staff; good quality food but the Creme Brulee was crucified - avoid.

I dined here with a party of 13 to celebrate my birthday. Fantastic value for money from the fixed price weekday menu, but essentially without restricting choice or more importantly quality. Not surprisingly the restaurant was full, however the service was also very good.

8 members of my family ate here for a birthday celebration and I can honestly say I can't fault a thing. The 3 course set menu of £12.95 is excellent value. We had a lovely round table and the service from the staff was attentive and friendly. The food was superb well presented hot and very tasty all of us... More

Went as a party of 6 for my mums 80th birthday, glad we picked this venue. Staff are very welcoming and attentive. It's a set menu on Saturdays £19.95 for 2 courses. You do pay extra for veg, worth checking with your waiter what comes with the meal as some don't need any extras. The food was wonderful and we... More

The food is always excellent, never had a bad meal in this restaurant. Always busy on a Saturday as this is a popular restaurant. They have some nice... More

We went on Saturday just the two of us, the set 2 course menu is £19.95 I had fillet steak which added £10 so I actually paid £29.99 for... More

It was a cold Sunday afternoon and my mother's 90th birthday, a table for twelve had been reserved for four o'clock, which very soon turned into a party of fifteen. The staff took it all in their stride without fuss or complaint and found extra seating to accommodate us. The restaurant was very busy and offered a warm and welcoming... More
