Can't beat the breakfast for the price

We went for a Christmas lunch menu as a party of 4 following good experiences previously at Sunday lunch. Menu choices were confirmed a week in advance. This time it was very disappointing. We had to wait nearly 30 minutes for the main course to arrive. The few vegetables there were had been cooked to the point of incineration. The fish had a hard yellow crust and the turkey roll defied cutting. The 3 "Tender broccoli" stems were black and crisped whilst Brussels sprouts had the texture of golf balls. Only the cranberry sauce had any taste. We were asked if we would like to wait before service of the second course. We declined as we wished to conclude the meal as soon as possible. However another long wait still ensued and we found out why - the white roulade was still semi frozen! Sadly we do not recommend!

It was very busy when we went, so we had to sit in the family/dog-friendly area, which was ok as the 4 dogs there were all well-behaved and didn't smell (dogs do have an odour). The prices, though, are ridiculous - £5 for a slice of cake! I didn't have any, I won't pay that price.

This is a great setting for a cafe . What a shame it is being run as a ' greasy spoon ' establishment . The overall impression when entering was of expensive drinks ( £5.40 for two teas ) , grubby menus and a display of unappetising stale cake . But the worst thing was the overwhelming smell of old frying , even though all the doors were open . We bought takeaway teas from the kiosk in the car park ( £3.00 ) , and sat by the river instead . Great . And I didn't have to wash all our clothes when we arrived home to get rid of the smell ! It is a shame for the young staff being employed here . They need better management and training .

Don’t bother ordering a large as you literally just end up with half of the cob empty. Sausage roll was hard and burnt. Panini was alright because the cheese was stringy and not in a nice ‘cheese pull’ kinda way. Won’t order again.
