Showed up to be told my booking online i made a month in advance wasn't there, even after showing reminder email. Person on reception was rude and shouted I got no table booked or room. Had my sister holding my baby and two other kids one who has ASD standing in cold door way. Then given table with no high chair and told to put baby on chair. After while found a high chair but then staff were rude and walking past talking about us. This is the 3rd time this has happened and I'm starting to think as I'm transgender and book under male name the staff are showing there distaste. Cus no way can my booking get lost 3 times but reminder email sent out.

Excellent staff at the bar and working the tables. Had the carvery. Went up in time for a new turkey crown so had that rather than gammon. A good choice . And the beef which was a bit dry. Lots of potato options, meat fat potatoes are at the end, wait for those. Champagne was excellent value, but not enough flutes for our table.

For some reason they always try and give you the thinnest slices of meat. It really is quite skilful but also very disappointing. I eat fairly regular as it is close to where I live and I often ask them if they can. Please put a little more on as the portion is remarkably small. I'm quite often told they're not allowed and then when I speak to the manager or a waitress they go and sort it. I really do think they need to do something about this. Nobody needs a great deal of meat, but if you're going to recovery, you certainly need more than a mouthful.

Great value carvery with brilliant range of grub for everyone. The breakfast range is equally good for vegans, vegetarians and omnivores. Lovely staff too. However Sundays are absolutely manic and not at all relaxing. You will have lengthy queues for the carvery and the carvery prices are higher thank during the week. £8.99 for a small meat-free seems rather high.

:Large carvery sunday dinner, no regrets except on a few veg choice given, and could have done with a bit more meat as only had one thin slice of each where as in the carvery you normally get two of each.

Poor experience, not all the meats or veg where available nor was this mentioned while placing order, when my child asked chef if there was any gammon he was abruptly told no. What was available on the carvery was very sub standard and some parts were inedible. No one even can close to eating their meal and after complaining to the duty manager we was given complimentary deserts. This unfortunately doesn’t make up for very poor quality main meals. We won’t be visiting again.

We turned up without booking, and were immediately given a table for 3 - we were quite early for dinner, so no surprise there. Ordered most stuff on their app, but it didn't have everything on the app, so still had to order some specific drinks from the bar. Everything was served in reasonable time, the food was really good, and the price was very reasonable. We arrived in our electric car - we didn't need to charge but noticed that they had a bank of fast 150kWh chargers if we had needed a top up.

Fab place, beautiful carvery, the best I've had in a while. The only negative.. We had dessert afterwards. They suggested to put it in a take away box because they are large portions so we can take them with us. We had oreo cheesecake, unfortunately that let them down a little as it just looked like slop in the box, almost like they put it in dropped it and gave it us, we had 2 of these and both looked like that. Hardly any biscuit on the base at all but the cream cheese was all over the box inside. Did not look appetising at all. Maybe won't have this option again. Otherwise great place. We will definitely visit again. The meal was 5*. Nice atmosphere. Little area for the kids inside and outside. We stayed for 3-4hrs actually in total.

We have just moved house today and it was so nice to be greeted by a smiley happy lady. For my partner this goes a long way as she's from the pub industry herself and loved the way that Clare presented herself as a top waitress, going above and beyond.

Food was not good quality, not many toppings included in my burger. It was a small burger despite the meal being quite expensive. I did not receive my coke zero, which was the reason I ordered as they had an offer, but they forget the coke zero. I spoke to the delivery driver who had said that this is all the restaurant gave them but Just Eat won't even refund me the expensive coke zero that I never got. I rang restaurant and explained that I never got the drink, so no excuse for Just Eat.
