Booked a Christmas lunch, so decided to check it out by a Sunday lunch first. Given all the recent 5 star reviews, and name dropping of staff, I felt a little dubious this could be 5 stars, I mean who would ask for chef names and then deliberately mention them…

Anyway, the meal was OK, nothing special, the staff male kept referring to me as ‘mate’ which wasn’t that professional and all in all.. OK.

Subsequently we decided it wasn’t somewhere we could trust to deliver a decent Christmas lunch on a special day, so we cancelled it.

Booked Sunday dinner and it didn't disappoint. Had cheesy garlic bread as a bit of a starter which was great . All 3 of us had the triple roast Sunday lunch and service from Jake was great as was the food. Definitely will be going again soon
