We were in the area and visited il basilico. It was great - very good food and very friendly staff. Husband enjoyed his food so much that he had a second mains as a desert! And he ate it all!

Great place, great food, great staff. Went for a big family get together pre Christmas and we all really enjoyed it. As we were a big group we were asked to pre order our food, most of us went for one of the roasts but not all of us so it was nice to have 'normal' menu options available as well as roasts. The service was excellent, we were offered sauces without having to ask and before and throughout the meal we were asked if we wanted more drinks. We were looked after by Ellie who was really helpful and efficient, she dealt with our various requests with a smile. The food was also really, I had a veg wellington roast that was lovely, roast potatoes were great, as was the Yorkshire and the veg, my other half had the trio of meat roast which he said was very good but he felt the beef was a bit bland, some of our group ordered the side order of cauliflower cheese and really enjoyed it. As a group we found we had the right amount of veg, but not enough gravy, however we asked for more gravy and were brought extra any without any questions. Some of us had puddings, it was great to have the mini pudding option with a hot drink too. Our only criticism of the puddings were those that were having custard had a very small amount and would have liked more but after asking for extra gravy we felt a bit too cheeky to ask for extra custard too. Toilets were nice and clean. Decor of the pub attractive and a good mix between traditional and contemporary. Summary highly recommended and Ellie was wonderful.

Food, ambience and service is great,

I come here frequently with friends and family. There is a good variety of food. I always aim for the pynes breakfast full English. It's lovely, and good value. Service is never too long either. It can get busy, but I've always managed to find a seat. Well worth a visit.

We used to say that there’s no such thing as a bad McDonald’s. Today I ate my words. And also some terribly musty tasting chicken nuggets that had batter 3inches thick. It srsly feels like this McDonald’s are separate to every other McDonald’s and just do their own thing; spolier: it’s not good
