We stopped off for lunch with our dog and 2yo and so pleased we did! Very friendly and Friday special fish and chips really fresh, well cooked, hand cut chips and all under £10! And it’s just off the M1 J30 so not far off our route! Well worth a visit!

Cannot fault our meal. We had Salt and Chilli Chicken and Duck Bonbons to start. Both were fresh and tasty. We then had fish & chips and Steak and Stilton Pie for our mains. The batter was crispy and the home cooked chips were delicious. The meat in the pie was tender and tasty. A delicious meal.

Food not cheap, 12.95 for a small portion of frozen soggy scampis and 5.95 for the smallest child pizza. My chicken I had to return it as it was so dry you couldn’t even cut it with the knife. That put me off of food and didn’t order anything new. We were on a table at the entrance and had to stand up many times to get the waiters attention. Staff was nice at least and polite. Would not go back. Not a great experience at all.

Sunday carvery was very poor. Cauliflower like a brick. Mashed potato tasted like powdered mash. Roast potatoes well not roasted at all, more like full boiled and roasted for a couple of minutes. First time I've been and the last.

Called here yesterday after being to the garden centre. Staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. My wife had the lasagna, our son had the minced beef & onion pie while I had the steak & mushroom pie. This is a hidden gem which we just dropped on. We will definitely be making a return visit👍

Friendly staff but not a great menu. The mixed grill was not the best, no steak, the grilled fish was tasteless and did not appear to have been grilled. For a Friday night they had run out of a number of meals. Desserts, not much choice. Bit expensive for what it was.

We had a fabulous main meal in the bar area. We decided on sea bass and a surf and turf. Didn't have to wait long before a smartly dressed waitress arrived with our meals. Both meals looked very appealing and I took a photo of mine. My wife said her sea bass was cooked perfectly with proper homemade chips, peas and a prawn and chilli sauce which she loved. My meal was first class. An 8oz rump steak cooked perfectly which melted in my mouth, plus 8oz thick piece of cod, thick chunks of soft white fillet in batter. Homemade chips peas tomato and onion rings made up the meal. Didn't have room for dessert. A better main meal you will be hard pushed to find. 10/10.

Booked our wedding over a year in advance then 3 months before he let us go there to confirm food choices and told us he'd double booked us! Tried to offer us the small bar area as a consultation but it wasn't what we wanted. He didn't contact us again to apologise after that day.

Eat here reasonably often, it's reasonably priced as well but gives you white table linen and ampke service, the decor is well maintained and clean, the food is always good, probably a bit limited for vegetarians, some of the deals are frankly inflation busting.

I have visited this place many times but today I was badly let down not by the sevice I had, but by the kitchen. Today I brought my two sisters and husband for dinner at 5 pm, at two meals for £17:99. I aways have the cod, at a supplement cost, and pushed this towards my sisters explaining the size and quality of this fish and the batter is amazing. But NOT this time. On ordering we were informed they only had one tikka, one mixed grill and so on, which caused a rethink as two persons were going for the tika, so one of my sisters decided on the chicken pasta only to be told 5 minutes later they had no pasta either, so she decided on the cod. When our meals arrived the fish was half the size that I have been used to over the past two years. In fact it looked as if they had only one fish left and had cut it into two much smaller portions, ie a fish bite size. After eating my dinner I had to mention how disappointed I was, after seeing the usual size fish I was accustomed to going to another table. We were both offered another fish which was declined. This shouldn't have happened as I didn't complain to get a reduction in my bill or a Freeby, but just to let them know it wasn't acceptable to vary the size of fish from one table to the next.

I went for a meal there with family and ordered Garlic mushrooms it was ok but way to much garlic and I love Garlic! but there were more Garlic than mushrooms, so I asked the waitress to let the chef know she said ok, we then had to wait a long time for the main course and when it came the fish was so dry and hard we couldn't eat it! when the waitress came and asked if everything was ok and 3 of us said no she said sorry and walked off, when they came to clear the table another waitress could see we hadn't eaten the fish so she asked if everything was ok so we told her the same and she said she would tell the chef, she then came out and said the chef said sorry! I said is that it she said yes! So I said well you can tell the chef I will pay for the salad garnish and the potatoes but I'm not paying £15.95 for dry seabass that I couldn't eat. After about 10-15 minutes later she came and said they wouldn't be charging us for it so I said thank you. On a positive note the syrup sponge and custard was very yummy. But I won't be returning.

Decent menu options and inexpensive, but the kitchen didn't manage to get our 6 meals out to the same quality (midweek afternoon). Their steak pie was superb, but the salmon dish was overcooked and potatoes undercooked. Desserts were over-sweet and custard was the tinned stuff.

Really disappointed this time, I booked a table for 2:30 pm. We ordered our drinks at the bar, all was fine. We sat down at our table, and after 45 minutes, I had to ask a member of staff if we could go and get our food, she said that she would come and tell us when she was ready, THERE WAS NO ONE STOOD at the carvery? I explained to the young girl that I was a Type 1 Diabetic and that my sugar level was dangerously low, as I had gone past my lunch hour as it was now 3:15, and she told me again to be seated and she would let me know when I could get my food... There was Still no one at the carvery, so I went ahead and started to serve myself some food and sat down and ate my Sunday roast, which was fine. After we had finished our meal no one at all came to our table to clear our dirty plates, or offer us any dessert or coffee menu, so at this point we were furious at the level of service that we asked for the bill, paid and left. The young girl was so not interested in her job and totally ruined my friends birthday which I had taken him there as I had recommended this place to go to, as I've always loved the Sunday roasts. I will never return.

Sunday lunch later in the afternoon AF about 3.30pm Staff nice and friendly, food lovely and prices reasonable. I had roast lamb and my wife had the roast beef. We had the extra side dish of cauliflower cheese, and you get extra gravy, greens and little pots of your choice of condiment. Already on each plate is your meat with roasted vegetables and mash, yorkshire puddings and gravy. The food is nice and hot and a good size portion, the meat is plenty and not full of gristle. We had puddings which were both very nice. The beer is good and they have a reasonable selection. All in all, very enjoyable experience.
