White Heather in Allerdale

Absolutely fantastic meal. I had the salad. So well presented. Plenty of food. Fantastic Desserts spolled for choice !!! Lovely . Staff Always visit when here as we’re from Norfolk wish we had places like this near us 😃

Just been to This Establishment we had mixed meat salad and it came with chips if we wanted them. Must say this is the best “Salad” I’ve had in ages and the plateful was massive. Had to finish with Rhubarb Crumble again the helping was massive. All aspects of this place in my eyes are 5 ⭐️from the friendly and cheery staff to the cleanliness of the place. Highly recommended

My wife and I flew into Kirkbride to sample the Wednesday lunch at The White Heather. Had we known better we'd have starved for the week before and not eaten for a week afterwards! Excellent food at great value prices and thoroughly recommended. Service was good with friendly and helpful staff. Our thanks go to owner David and his team.

My wife and I and two friends went for Sunday lunch,we booked a table the previous week for 1pm,we arrived at 12.50pm,given our table No and bought drinks at the bar,which we took to our table,after a while we realised,a lot of people seemed to be waiting to order,one table actually got up and left,we eventually put our order in at 1.30pm,approx 10mins later our lunch arrived,we had beef & lamb & Turkey and trimmings & a side order of chips(real chips)the food was excellent,QUALITY,we would definitely go back and hope the service was a bit better prior to the meal. The staff were all very nice & friendly,great views from upstairs windows.

Attended as a family of 5. We all had roasts which were absolutely beautiful and huge fresh portions. I love the fact it’s traditional British food served in a traditional way with lots of side veg. The pudding trolley is rammed with lots of variety of homemade delights.

Absolutely beautiful meal today Jan 31st. Staff excellent. The man on the bar especialy. Thankyou so much for all your help getting mam into the car. We would not have managed without borrowing the wheelchair

Really good food but they are charging extra for chips which i dont agree with We didnt want any vegetables but stii got charged extra for chips A lot of our friends have stopped going for this reason Its a shame really as they have got us going elsewhere

Great homemade Sunday lunch with all the trimming,I can understand why you have to book due to the number of tables.

Excellent from start to finish home from home except for the fantastic service from the staff definitely will return a third time for Christmas lunch and for the odd Sunday lunch yummy

This is one of the best places to eat on Sunday Lunch or Evening Dinner and also Wednesdays. We booked in advance recommended as its always busy and had Sunday 3Courser which has plenty options and all our party very satisfied with the service the friendliness of staff and price very acceptable.No matter what starter or Main you order all acceptable and highlight for me the “Home made Rice Pudding”. Highly recommended to give this place a try

Excellent Meal ,Hard working pleasant Staff Enjoyable Atmosphere with comfortable and well decorated surroundings

Superb meal for our Silver Anniversary, there were 8 of us in total, could not fault it in any way. Lovely hot meal, and loads of it.

I take my elderly father here for lunch when I'm in the area. We always get the £10 two-course Wednesday lunch deal, which is fantastic value. The roast beef is ace and comes with a side plate filled with mountains of veg. Then there is a choice of dessert, either off the trolley or something hot - I can highly recommend the rice pudding and sticky toffee pudding. It's out of the way but the location is interesting - right by an airfield and hangar. Very much a place for those with local knowledge.

It took almost one hour before our food arrived. Clearing away the plates and bringing puddings took just as long. We were there for two and a half hours altogether.My pint of bitter tasted odd and someone’s lager was equally bad. The barman agreed with us but the two cans of Diet Coke seemed poor compensation.Both main course and pudding were excellent but we won’t be back for a while.

Delicious tasting food. We all had starters and mains, mainly Sunday dinners. Very tasty and wasn’t much of a wait. It’s slightly odd the way they serve the Sunday dinners that you are given an empty plate hen they hold a silver platter and scrape the food from the platter to your plate. I’d rather it was already on my plate. Much more simple.The desert trolly is the best. Everywhere should have a desert trolly. Brilliant. Only qualms- girl behind bar (very tall girl) was unbelievably miserable with no customer skills.Second and final annoyance, the tables were all a different height then with a table cloth over the top- my brother had just bought a drink, placed it on our table and due to it being on the join of two different height tables it tipped and spilled everywhere. We told the waitress and she gave zero sh*ts and walked away! In my eyes they should have replaced his drink out of courtesy.Other than that I do plan to return and give t another try.

Occasionally I have had Sunday lunch here and it has always been enjoyable, so I booked for 12 for Easter . When we arrived the table was only set for 10 so they added 2 more placing which meant we were touching each other . The service was a total shambles with the food coming in dribs and drabs - from our initial order we waited 1 hour 20 mins till we got our main course . They brought warm plates , but by the time the food was served they were cold . The beef was mixed - one tender piece and the rest like shoe leather , the veg was just warm , and the scampi was too crisp on the outside and soggy batter on the inside . The sweet trolley was just a mess , bits of this and bits of that , and the girl who served it was so uninterested she might not of been there ! A really disappointing lunch , and for nigh on £260 it left a nasty taste in ones mouth . Basically I think they hadn’t got the staff to cope with such numbers as it was very busy , and apart from one older lady who was pleasant and efficient the staff were kids who were not bothered at all . Sadly , I’m afraid we would think twice about returning .

A two course meal with tea/coffee afterwards £10. Hot, home style food and plenty of it. Five vegetables on table and lots of meat, even the salad had everything. Choice of sweets from trolley, well worth the money, staff lovely although not many of them. Best to book as lots of people go.

Friends recommended this place to us so decided to give it a try.

After a lot of my friends and family saying this place was lovely I decided to go here with my husband for my birthday meal. We were seated in a separate room as the place was pretty full, it was nice and quiet until a rowdy family with kids came in. A family came in 10-15 mins after us and there order was taken straight away whilst we were still waiting the waitress seemed to know this family by the way she was talking to them I found it really unprofessional of her to bypass us. Eventually we ordered food, We both had vegetable soup to start which was nice, I had beef dinner and my partner had turkey. If I’m honest the main wasn’t nice at all when it comes out them basically plate it up for you in front of you and it was very basic food bit like something you’d get in hospital, beef was extremely fatty and potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were burnt to a crisp. After the dessert trolley came out there wasn’t much left to choose from but we both took some dime bar cheesecake away with us which was actually nice! Overall I feel like we wasted our money and wish I’d went somewhere nicer for my birthday.

Visited here to celebrate my best friend and her twins birthday. We had the 3 course Sunday lunch which was delicious. I had the roast turkey which was such a generous portion I couldn't finish it. I was full after 2 courses and the kind staff offered to put my desert in a box so I could take it home for later. All the staff were friendly. I would recommend the Sunday lunch, it is good value for money.

Just to say this is a hidden treasure and was such a treat to dine there with a large group of friends. The hotel/restaurant was pre booked for a group of mainly silver surfers and wayward crafters on our annual away day this time to Keswick. We stopped off at the White Heather for lunch we had already decided on our two course menu. The restaurant was so clean, the drinks were a very reasonable price there were many non alcoholic drinks at the bar, and those who had a tipple said the prices were good. How many of them returned for a second tipple I can not tell but there were a few old dears that were over jolly! The waitresses were wonderful and nothing was a problem.. as for the food...just wonderful! My mum and I chose the roast beef which was lovely and tender, hand carved with a variety of hot veg. Some had the steak pie, some had haddock and a couple of the waist watchers had salad. Not one person was disappointed with their main course. Then came the sweet trolley which was piled with calories of all delights plus a fruit cocktail for the sensible ones. I had raspberry pavlova mum had trifle, my friend asked and was given two different sweets on the same plate, and even our wonderful Methodist Minister gave in to temptation and followed suite. Topped off with wonderful hot fresh coffee or tea. Plenty of good fayre all round, not one complaint! We were all sad to leave the White Heather and it is a place to remember and hopefully visit again.

My Father organised a Sunday lunch gathering for family on my recent visit from New Zealand at The White Heather. In my day, over 30 years ago, it was a place I ventured to for Young Farmers Friday night entertainment ;-).

The location of this restaurant is tucked away besides a small airfield. It has plenty of parking and the biggest disabled entrance sign I have ever seen. There is no mistaking the best way in for wheelchairs. However, you do need to get someone to get the fire doors open so that you can gain access.

We have eaten here a few times, but a few weeks ago decided to try it for Sunday Lunch. We have visited mid-week for lunch on previous visits.

Have eaten here a few times but this time was not as good unfortunately. We were a booked table of seven, including two children. A busy Sunday would obviously mean it would not be a fast service however we were not in a rush. We waited over half an hour before chasing a waitress to place our order, our main course arrived and we were offered mint sauce, cranberry sauce etc which never actually arrived. We then had to wait for over an hour to place our sweet order. There was an obvious lack of enough staff to cope. At no point did any staff member come and ask if we needed anything else during our meal and we were not offered coffee. The delays in the service meant that the children in our party were getting bored and rowdy, while the waitress was busy wrapping up other tables doggy bags.

This place is Amazing. We are from West Sussex and travel up to Wigton to see friends twice a year and always try to go here on a wednesday . The beef is amazing so tender and tasty and so much every time i have to take what i dont eat back with me. The food is cooked well presented well served by friendly helpful staff, the desserts come round on a trolley and they are to die for something for everyone. You get a bread roll and butter when you sit down, then tea or coffee to finish all this for just over Ten Pounds each. Its well worth a trip great seating good atmosphere such a great place

Me and the family thought we would try this place again since it's been a while. There was four adults and two kid's. From start to finish the whole meal took two hours and forty minutes, talk about slow service we thought they had maybe taken some new staff on in the name of Tortoises. Don't get me wrong when you eventually do get your food it's very nice but it would be even better if you could get it a bit quicker. That is why I have only rated it three stars for the service. Forgot to mention the price is now £18 a head for your three course meal.

Poor service. Apparently we chose a day that the Manager was away and they were short staffed. We had booked a table for two, but a party of 5 that had not booked were served and attended to whilst I was ignored at the bar. Food was Ok but we waited a long time because of the queue jumpers

excellent roast dinners served in huge portions. quick service too. very good value for money. make sure you are hungry if you visit here! i always take my pudding home with me for the next day which is always done for me with no problems. been going here for years and it's great for a roast dinner or for a function/event.

Hoy fuimos a nuestro almuerzo, había una selección de 5 diferentes platos principales y una selección de dulces, seguido de un café o un té para terminar siendo hoy miércoles y la comida ofrecen disponible, dos platos y un café/té era de £9. 50 por persona. Tres de nosotros tuvimos la carne asada y uno tenía el pastel de pollo y todos estábamos de acuerdo en que la comida era abundante y de calidad excelente y todo el personal era amable y eficiente. El hecho de que el lugar estaba abarrotado habla por sí mismo lo bueno que es, recomendamos probar este lugar y te aconsejo reservar con antelación para garantizar una mesa.

Fantastic old school Sunday dinner. Man size portions, freshly cooked, piping hot, tasty. Can't find a better place. Make sure you are hungry.

Nice food and excellent value for money good service, been a few times on Wednesday afternoons,will be revisiting

Hemos estado comiendo en el White Heather durante casi 40 años ya que es a menudo una base para rallyes coche dirigido por el motor Club Wigton Las instalaciones en el borde del aeródromo son excelentes para eventos y hay aparcamiento para unos pocos cientos...

Disfrutamos de la comida de domingo muy bueno en este amplio restaurante al lado del aeródromo. Comenzó a llenarse de 12:00 todos elegimos el fijo 17 libras. 00 comida que era de 3 campos que tenía el ajo champiñones ensalada fresca pan n roll. ....

El lugar en sí está un poco anticuado, su principalmente adecuado para grupos grandes, pero que no hacer llevar algunos días, la cocina está dirigido brillantemente por grandes números, su diseño es perfecto para bodas y fiestas, y a la decoración, eso es un poco...

Amazing food as always but the service was awful , we had to ask someone to get the table cleared after eating and we waited 45 mins before the sweet trolley arrived , staff seem more interested in setting tables ready for next sitting its a pity as the food is really good

Excellent Sunday meal, been a few times before and we had our wedding reception here in 2010, but we had not been for couple years but had been told portion sizes had gone down - not true. Portions still huge and still great value. Would highly recommend.

We have been to the white heather a few times and have never been disappointed with the quality of the Sunday lunch. You have choices of meat depending on the time of year come with a healthy appetite.

Large dining rooms, well stocked bars providing excellent service and the very best quality of local food served at "farmers" quantities. Booking essential for Sundays to get your preferred time and advisable on Wednesdays for Senior Citizen's lunches. Always very busy keeping the serving staff on their toes. My Brother in Law, when up from Kent, insists on dining in the White Heather and as usual there will be seven of us again this week. The hotel used to be the Officers Mess during WW 11 when the whole site was one of many local operational airfields and it's main runway is still in daily use by light aircraft.

If you want value for money this is the place to go... The portions are huge!!!Always well cooked food and quick service.It does feel like your sitting in a big barn though!

Have been to the White Heather on many occasions over a lot of years and have always enjoyed it, however the service on Sunday was painfully slow! The young waiters and waitresses did a valiant job but the fault must lie with the management! Poor organisation for one of the busiest days of the year! Food excellent as always but the experience needs to be more than the food!

Booked in a Wednesday lunch,the place was busy front of house served us straight away at the bar and then took us to our table.We had the roast beef which I have to say was two Large thick slices of tender roast beef which covered more than half of the plate with a yorkshire pudding and peas and a roast potato and then the veg and chips came which even someone with an ample appetite would find filling.Pudding trolley came with loads of choice but we took ours home with us.Overall well cooked wholesome food and all the staff couldn't do enough for you from the moment you go in to leaving.It's the sort of meal you expect from a rural location and we weren't disappointed.Our 2 course meal was 9.50 each which is good value,on the website it may be better if the pricing structure for the different days/times maybe went into a little more detail .Thanks to all the staff for a lovely meal.

The White Heather offers fantastic French cooked food at a decent price. The hospitality is great and the place is Keith very clean. Had an enjoyable visit.

This is a very popular place and with good reason - loads of parking, huge dining room, huge portions, prompt service and very reasonably priced. But, you get what you pay for - a set menu with nice meat but overcooked vegetables, chips with everything, bland gravy - just what you'd expect for a place geared up for mass catering. A sweet trolley laden with creamy offerings, tea and coffee finish off the meal. The dining room is like a barn and lacks atmosphere, service is quite good but impersonal and aimed at getting plated food out as fast as possible. Lots of folk love it but it isn't for me.

Lovely food freshly prepared...generous portions..excellent sweet trolley..excellent value for money

Fantastic meal, we had the 3 courses for £17 wow we could not finish, starter was home made veg soup followed by beef Yorkshire pudding potatoes & veg, followed by trifle. Portion sizes are massive, service was great with friendly staff and when you cannot eat it all they will gladly give you a doggy bag. Well worth a return visit I would recommend who enjoy good food to pay this restaurant a visit

the service was just great the staff very polite and helpful a few more places should send there staff here for training

Great value, great service, great price.Definitely my favourite place to go for a roast dinner. The turkey dinners are tye best. Wednesday lunch time is brilliant value

Had a very pleasant family lunch today. £8.50 for main course, sweet and tea or coffee. You need to be hungry as very large portions. Very friendly staff and speedy service.

We always choose the white heather when getting a big group together 10-25 people and the staff and very welcoming and food always of a good standard and piping hot! Nice variety of vegetable and sweets! Nice specials on a Wednesday too!! Thank you

We had a Sunday lunch at the whiteheather, there was 30 of us in total, all well looked after and we all enjoyed our meals,very big portions, but if you can't manage to eat it all, they even supply doggy bags to take anything away with you, don't be deceived by the exterior, once inside the place looks great,plenty of room between tables, staff are very attentive and seem to enjoy their work,recommend it for just a couple or like us a big group, booking would be advised for a big group though, looking forward to our next visit soon, John & lavinia

As the title says ... hope u have a good appetite. U get loads. Excellent value. Lovely food and very helpful pleasant staff. Bit manic at the bar when u first get in but once u get shown to your table everything is great. I cant fault it. if u cant manage to eat up they will even put it in. Container to take home. Make sure u leave room for a sweet. The sweet trolley is Laden with the most gorgeous mouth watering sweets u could wish to see. Well worth a visit !!!!!!!!!

Ate here as part of a one night stay - evening menu was pretty standard fare but good choices. I went for the gammon and my wife (vegetarian) had a spinach and ricotta cannelloni. Very nicely presented and cooked on both counts - large portions seem to be the norm!. Whilst I am sure this will not suit everybody - if you are hungry and like good honest food you will enjoy a meal at the White Heather!

Once again a quality meal. Soooo much meat, will be having it the following night at home along with the desert! Very busy night with it being Mothers Day, but a lovely meal with a good variety to choose from and as always plentiful. As always, very friendly and courteous staff. You can never go far wrong with the White Heather, will defo be back.

A beautiful meal spoiled by the bad service, the place was packed yet we only saw 3 different waitresses including running the bar.we were taken to our table which we had booked (advisable) there was a piece of paper on the table with a choice of 3 maybe 4 mains with such a small amount to choose from we had all decided within a minute yet we waited and waited and waited for 55 minutes for them to take our order, once they had done this our food was here within 5 minutes with ample portions of veg chips etc, having finished this quite quickly as you can imagine due to the fact that we were booked in for 12.30 and this was now 1.45 then the waiting started again we waited and waited for our table to be cleared then after around 15 minutes the waitress came and cleared it we were then expecting her to come right back with the sweet trolley however we waited EVEN longer for this to arrive we then wolfed our pudding down and had to make a quick exit as it was now 2.45 and we needed to do the school run. Anyway the moral of the story is the food is absolutely divine however the waiting times are beyond a joke

My husband @ I frequently eat at the whiteheather. I feel quite upset when I read some reviews. Malcom ,Ross , and all theif team are conscientious. The Sunday lunches are to a high standard we have never had a bad meal . We even had our wedding reception their knowing that our guests would be well caterd for. Keep going Whiteheather I personally feel you have just got it right. It's speaks volumes the amount of people who continue to come back time after time. WELL DONE.Jim&Angela Riding.

This is our third visit and wont be the last, we have only been on a sunday the menu is set with a choice of five starters then six mains followed by the sweet trolley all for £16,there is a menu for small children. It is well worth the money if you are a big eater, even if your not you can get a doggy bag, or take your pudding home in a tray and have it later. It is always very busy which tells you something and you should always book ahead to avoid disappointment. If you've never been before its worth a try.

another great sunday lunch at the white heather far to much as always. service good and welcoming roast beef melts in the mouth and veg perfectly cooked you do only get 1 yorkshire and roast potato but i dont know how you could eat more .choice of about 5 starters and the desserts are great something for everybody. great value for money £16 for 3 courses hard to beat.

i like a lot of food but the white heather is big portions, the food is very good but a sunday roast is quite expensive , i don't know why they just don't give you less and charge less, also they have no problem with you taking whats left home and more than happy to put dessert in a tray to take home cause you normally cannot mange it. yes i agree with some comments that the service can be a little slow but this gives you time between courses and they never rush you, also you can sit there for hours unlike some places that want you to eat and go so they can get more in. eat there regular on a sunday and people even fly in from all over the country to eat there, with it having its own airstrip, with the small planes parked in the car park next to the cars.

Our meal was ok here... the portion size was ridiculous... even for me as a big man.. couldn't manage it!The service wasn't the best either.. the girl who served us was very emotionless and coldly.. which didn't make for the best of experiences..Overall it was ok.. but I wouldn't rush back.

Great food especially Sunday lunch which is also good value for money. Definetley one for the larger appetite

I had lunch today at the White Heather, my grandad said he would take us out for dinner, this was good because they go there regularly and always say it is good, i thought this would suit me because i like plain simplistic food, or good old English grub! I was most DISAPPOINTED when i arrived and the food was laid down in front of me. I ordered roast beef (as did the rest of my table) and although it arrived fairly quickly, i was amazed, as i am a northerner i like 'reet big portions like' i was presented with about 5 slices of paper thin beef (which was nothing special either), 1 roast potato, 1 yorkshire pudding, peas,tomato......yes TOMATO, with beef and gravy, and finally a garnish of cress. Well then the other vegetables arrived, which consisted of carrots that had not been peeled and boiled potato's, which were swimming in a oily lake of starchy water. I then started my meal, trying to find away around a plate that was no bigger than 25cm diameter. Then to top off the meal, about a five stein bag of tatties had been made into chips and were piled into this serving dish. After i had finished my meal by negotiating my way around the plate i had to wait about 30 minutes for the staff to realise we had finished, we then were shown the desert trolley, where there was numerous options of pudding, and this was very good, a nice end to the meal! I would not recommend this, I like my roast with proper trimmings, about 3 or 4 roast potatoes, 2 yorkshires, carrots, mash, swede and carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower etc. But the most important part is the beef, although it tasted a mediocre, OK i would thoroughly recommend my local, They Greyhound Inn, Cotehill, you get substantial meat of about half an inch thick a slice with all the trimmings for a very reasonable price! I will not be rushing back here!Infact i will probably never go back!!

Worst Sunday dinner we have ever had. Beef was dry and tough ,roast potato yes one only was old, Yorkshire pudding was so hard could not cut it, and gravy was tasteless . Waited over an hour for dessert, but ended up taking it home. Then the waitress said she gave us a big portion because she seen the beef we got and said she would not have ate it either. Then we were over charged by over £10. Had to drive back to get it.

What an absolute amazing restaurant.About 30 of us came to celebrate a family golden wedding anniversary. The staff gave us a lovely friendly welcome and the room was set out beautifully for us.We had heard how lovely the food was but we were all certainly amazed when it arrived.I can honestly say it was the best roast dinner we have ever had, everything was so fresh and tasted superb and no shortage of anything. We have to congratulate the staff throughout the evening, they looked after us so well and nothing was any trouble to them. So thank you for making our mum and dads anniversary so special for them.We shall certainly back for celebrations in the future.Many thanks from the Walker family.

With the venue I keep expecting Barry Potter to pop out in his wheelchair. Always clean and tidy. When it comes to value for money, this is the place to visit. I always eat way too much, it's like a man vs food challenge. I'm always defeated haha. Portions are amazing, food is like a home cooked roast and rice pudding that is delicious! Great place.

This review is in no way connected to the quality of the food here because it is always top notch.Booked a table for 2 at 13.30, arrived 13.25, after waiting longer than acceptable to be served at the bar I was asked to wait in the waiting area. 45 minutes later still no table and I was starting to get irritated, even more so when I witnessed two separate parties walking in without having booked and getting seated at tables straight away.Was I wrong to be annoyed?After pointing out the problem it was clear that we had been FORGOTTEN about well I am sorry but I am a coach driver and I don't just FORGET to collect my passengers, because it would be unprofessional, just like it is unprofessional for you to forget to feed your customers!!I decided to leave and was offered some food by way of an apology, wait for it.....to take with us??NO THANKS, I decided to eat out today for a reason and as it happened by the time we got away everywhere else that is half decent had finished serving food so it was back home for cheese on toast for Sunday lunch.I am not blaming the young lady behind the bar for this, she was left on her own and clearly under pressure, she was very apologetic for what had happened but had you got your front of house in order this need not have happened, she was clearly in need of help and direction.Thanks White Heather for spoiling what little time I get to spend with my partner, it will be a very long time before I return.If I could have given you a zero rating I would have, I suppose you deserve the one I gave you for not taking money off me for the drinks!!

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch here. Huge slices of thickly cut beef which covered nearly all the plate, large dish of veg and all the extras. The sweet trolley was a pudding lovers dream, lots of creamy gorgeous concoctions with hot puddings also available. Friendly and fast service in spite of being very busy indeed, we were glad we had booked.One of the best Sunday lunches we have ever had. Massive portions in a lovely dining room. Don't think we will be able to eat any more today. Will be going back very soon.

We frequently go to the White Heather for for a Sunday dinner. They do a number of sittings on a Sunday so best to take their advice on timing your booking. Service is always excellent and friendly. They do silver service of the main courses which is unusual but very pleasant. Huge portions of carved meats and masses of veg. A good selection of other meals. Always happy to go back.

15 of us recently went for a family birthday. Meal was delicious, I'm particularly found of their cider sauce, toy get loads & the price can't be beaten. 3 courses for £15. They also let you take your pudding home if you can't eat it at the time. This place is a family favourite

We had a fantastic lunch here . All the starters looked lovely, main course beautiful .Portions size great as my family have good appetites . starters, well there's plenty of choice. Staff very helpful . Nothing was a problem. Don't think we will need anything else to eat for the rest of the day. Can't wait to go back.

Had a wonderful lunch here last wednesday. The quality was very good and the portions large (to say the least!). The staff are very friendly and helpful. This was the fifth time my friends and I have eaten here and we will certainly be going back

I am a member of a ladies group who have been taking coach parties here at least once a year for about 8 years. Never once have we been disappointed and keep returning because, despite trying other hotels , this is the only place where we can guarantee that the only complaint will be that there is too much to eat. The staff are extremely pleasant and helpful ,the service is excellent and the food is always cooked to perfection.There is a good choice of starters and main courses and a fabulous range of sweets which I doubt could be bettered anywhere..Excellent value for money and despite only visiting yeaterday we are looking forward to a return visit.

Was here tonight for a meal to celebrate my mam's birthday. Booked the table for 7pm, arrived 5 minutes early as you do. Waited 10 minutes to get served at the bar as only one person behind the bar. Got served and shown to our table and then we waited and we waited and we waited to have out order taken, I eventually went to the bar 35 minutes later to ask if they would come to take our order. We eventually got our starter at 7.50pm. The starter was also a disappointment as the garlic mushrooms doesn't come with toast or anything and neither does the pâté! You do get roll's on the table but we were that Hungary we had demolished them well before we got the starter but I was surprised the pâté didn't come with toast, we did mention this and they brought some. Overall you do get value for your money but as the heading states order your table earlier than you wish to eat otherwise you will be eating the table leg.

excellent sunday lunch . Warm and cosy very relaxed atmosphere . Pleasant helpful staff plenty of choice 5 or 6 starters choice of 6 roast meats and the trimmings plenty of delicous well cooked veggies and a large selection off the sweet trolly . all for £15 .If you cant manage it all staff are happy to give your sweet in a doggy bag. all in all great value for money we will return

This place holds no bars when it comes to Sunday Lunch.It is recommended you book in advance as it does get very very busy.The staff are very keen to help and serve food very promptly.The meats are tender and you get far too much on your plate,all your meal is brought on a silver platter and you really do get the whole Sunday works and then some,it does not matter what meat you order it falls apart from the fork and is cooked to perfection-the guys or gals doing the cooking here know a thing or two about traditional Sunday Roasts!Went here with a large family group and the desserts are also very very 'moreish' I will be back again and again,it's a great afternoon out too when the weather is nice with the nice lawns outside to sit out in and catch some sun.Fab.

15 pounds for 3 course Sunday lunch.Our second visit. Large dining room, full of diners.Choice of about 5 starters. Mains are large with huge quantity of meat and vegetables, choice of about 12 sweets from trolley. You will not go away hungry. Service is good. Would highly recommend.

This is a truly hidden gem when it comes to good old fashioned cooking - you will come away totally stuffed and contented whether with a doggie bag or not - truly a well deserved eating experience not to be missed

Food is brilliant and 3 course meal for 15! Most of the staff are young, very pleasant but still learning. Service can sometimes be slow and if you don't like noisy atmospheres, avoid functions.
