First time visiting the Space Invader today. Arranged a birthday lunch for a family birthday/Mothers Day celebration. Have to say we were so impressed with the venue, food and staff! Everyone said how friendly and efficient they were. Meals were delicious and served promptly (pre-ordered). We will definitely be back here again!

We have just been to the Space Invader for lunch today and dined off the Seniors Menu. We have been here a number of times recently and have always been pleased with the meal. Unfortunately today was an exception, I had vegetable fritters, three very tiny pieces. Previously they have been totally adequate, next I had fish gougons which turned out to be the size of a king prawn in its shell and 6 chips. Previously this dish has been served on a normally size plate today however it was served on a small entree plate - not worth the money. Having taken friends today we were somewhat embarrassed having said how previously it was very good . Asked the waitress if portion sizes had been reduced. She said no but not what we had received in the past. We will not be partaking of the Seniors menu again and I only have a small appetite but remain hungry! If the todays portion size had always been like this I wouldn't have complained, I just wouldn't have gone back.

We all chose off the Special Pensioners menu and it was all delicious. Service was excellent. We didn’t have to wait and the food was piping hot, presented on the plate perfectly and tasted yummy. The deserts were superb too. We all had coffee and all three of us commented on how nice the coffee was too. We could not fault the whole meal. We shall be back.

First visit and can't see us going again. The food was average at best and very expensive for what it was. Had a variety of dishes, sadly none of them were anything special. To be fair the staff were good and attentive and we didn't have to wait long We obviously knew before we ordered but the price of dishes was expensive, I was expecting much better.

The barman who served us, Andy, was so kind and pleasant, and attentive despite the restaurant being busy. A real credit to the place. The food was absolutely spot on - my parents had the goujons from the menu for the elderly - they really enjoyed it, could have done with one or two more chips that's all. My gluten free beef and onion barm was the best I've ever had. Normally in these things the beef is tough and leathery, it was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. Both enjoyed their puds - I think the choc torte could do with some raspberries to set it off as it was very rich, but lovely. Coffees were excellent too and the little biscuits lovely. Interesting history which I'd love to find more about - maybe some info on the tables? Such a welcoming pub, it's only 10 mins from my parents and we will be back for certain. Great to see a place so inviting for elderly people and encouraging the community to socialise.

We enjoyed our dinner at the Space Invader very much. Excellent meals. The banana split was a work of art! Very friendly service at a 'Goldilocks' pace - not too quick, not too slow - perfect for a relaxed meal out with friends. We’ll certainly look forward to visiting again.

Friends recommended The Space Invader. Great ambience, friendly staff, live music but I was a tad disappointed with my meal. I ordered lamb, which was tasty but such a very small portion that I was still hungry once I had consumed it. It was a Main Course, not a Starter and I thought the price I paid might have warranted more than a few mouth fulls. On the plus side it was great to see a pub so lively and well used whilst others are empty and failing.

We've visited twice in the last week, once for an evening meal and again on Sunday with friends who had never been there. On both occasions the food was excellent, the service was great and the staff were really attentive and pleasant. The Sunday lunch roast dinners were massive and we would highly recommend them. We will definitely be visiting again, as will our friends. Thanks guys.

The Yellow Broom is best described as a blend of pure elegance with a splash of sophistication. The setting is undeniably beautiful, complemented by a warm welcome from the staff, who are clearly well-trained in delivering exceptional silver service. The menu offers a well-balanced selection of cuisine, ensuring there's something to delight every palate. The presentation of the dishes was nothing short of exquisite, and the flavors were simply delightful. The staff were remarkably attentive without being intrusive, striking the perfect balance between friendliness and professionalism. The atmosphere and layout of the restaurant were both appealing and comfortable, enhancing the overall dining experience. The Yellow Broom is a truly first-class establishment that consistently maintains high standards. I highly recommend a visit—you will not be disappointed.

The lady who runs it was welcoming insightful and charming. She gets all her meat from the local butcher which is first class. She was passionate about food and her recommendations dovetailed beautifully. My sister ate the mushrooms on toast, which she gave me to try. The mushrooms were cooked to perfection and the sauce was a perfect blend of flavour and consistency. They were really good, the lady who sat next to us has been coming for years and also recommended them, it was easy to see why. I myself had the brie and bacon ciabatta with chutney. The chutney was cooked in a slightly curried sauce which was lovely. Although I would have liked a slightly sweeter sauce maybe blueberries to cut through the mild salt in the bacon and brie but it was excellent none the less. Three breakfasts and pot's of tea for £14 per person was incredible value. I finally remembered years ago taking my daughter here for her birthday lunch and she kept asking me to take her to the place with the train running overhead, I couldn't remember at the time but she'll be overjoyed to hear I've found it. Fantastico, grazie.
