This WAS one of our favourite places to eat. We've eaten here frequently and we celebrated my husband's 40th birthday here a couple of years ago. However, having visited a couple of weekends ago I doubt we'll be back. We were unceremoniously removed from our "favourite" table because it was reserved - although there was nothing to mark this and... More

Any tables we do reserve always are signed and as you know at busy times we have a waiting service which one of our staff is assigned to.... More

I came here to meet up with a facebook buddy to catch up on the last 20 years and I can say I wasn't disappointed.. I was pleasantly suprised walking in as it's tastefully decorated and would be lovely just to come for a drink and chill out.. I only eat light in the day so opted for the Calamari... More

Been coming here for a number of years now - always very nice and clean in side, food is gorgeous and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Can still order off the menu on a sunday too if you dont want sunday lunch. Meals are very reasonably priced and its a great relaxed atmosphere.

A lovely restaurant/pub with a great atmosphere, good food, visited for food on two occasions in the recent two weeks and have not been disappointed. Good food lovely steaks, even better between 5pm and 7pm weekdays with 25% off your food bill. Good atmosphere on a Saturday night just for a drink.....

Just had our starter. Shade under a tenner for a sharing platter of chicken skewers, ribs, shrimp and onion rings. I know not to expect gourmet at what is essentially a pub, BUT, chicken tasted of plastic, ribs were bland despite being very tender, shrimp overcooked, rubbery and again bland. Saving grace was onion rings which were "ok". But how... More

We went on recommendations they didn't disappoint ....lovely atmosphere, good food and drink. .the only thing I would pick up on is explanation of how the drink ordering works ..you go to the bar to order and pay separately from the food. ..not a problem if you know:-)

I recently had a lovely meal here. Both the food and service were brilliant, I had a steak on 'the rock' which was a great experience with meat which clearly was excellent quality. Really enjoyed the night and will certainly be returning soon.
