"Had a steak last night which was good but my onion rings were missing and I had the tiniest mushroom grilled to death, asked the guy who brought our meals about the onion rings and he shrugged said out of stock and just walked off. Went to the bar to ask why I’d been charged for them if there aren’t any and again I got a shrug and was told I could have extra mushroom instead which I agreed to as by now the rest of the meal was getting cold. The guy brought me a bowl with raw mushroom slices in it! My partner went back to the bar with these, by the time I got cooked mushrooms I’d finished my meal and there was no way I was going to eat them for fear of them having been spat on or worse.!Staff take no pride and seem like just being there is a massive inconvenience to them. To be fair I have had some nice meals here but there’s always some issue or another, usually items missing from the meal. Come on guys put a bit of effort in, it’s not difficult I’m not expecting Michelin stars it’d just be nice to have a basic meal without having to go back to the bar for something every time!"

"I have visited this restaurant several times and had a great time. Tonight, my family of four, including three adults and one child, went for dinner. I asked for a child's carvery, and the young waitress questioned why as I was not a child. I explained that I was not very hungry, and she said she would make an exception this time. Unfortunately, the soup was out of stock, so I ended up ordering a child's carvery for myself, two adult carverys, and a child's nugget meal. When we arrived at the carvery deck, my sister, who was already there, informed me that the waitress had been talking negatively about me wanting a child's carvery until she noticed my sister watching. When we sat down to eat, the waitress kept a close eye on me for no apparent reason. When it came time to pay the bill, we took it to the till to pay. The chef, the young waitress, and another older waitress were all gathered around the till. The waitress asked how we wanted to pay, and when we said by card in three ways, she seemed annoyed and slammed a few things around before collecting the bill at our table. She questioned what I was paying for, and when I mentioned the child's carvery, child's nuggets, and drinks, she informed me that the waitress had been reprimanded for allowing me to order a child's carvery as it was not a usual practice. The older waitress was incredibly rude to all of us. If you are looking for a pleasant dining experience, I would recommend avoiding this place as the staff are rude."

"Visited today with a group of friends who had a load of issues last time they came (a year ago) but decided to give the place another go. We had to ask for ketchup 3 times as each time they bought over an empty bottle. I asked for pepper which never arrived. I ordered a mixed grill the sausages were really cheap. My steak and gammon were undercooked so I sent them back. Around 15 minutes later my meal reappeared. Everything apart from the steak was ok but the steak was now very much over cooked and my chips were undercooked. The staff did give me a free desert. All in all this was a poor experience and we won’t be returning."

"Basic room for decent price of £45 for 2 adults. Wasn't told it was two single beds when booked a room for two, there was 3 various preused shower gel bottles available, there wasn't any fresh toiletries, and bin was half filled with rubbish upon arrival too.... but customer service was friendly n very helpful, and staff upon arrival were welcoming too. Beds were clean and comfy (woth quilts, not sheets) plus we was supplied with 4 clean soft towels and ample overnight storage which included quality wooden hangers. No smoking in room, but cute outside smoking area easily accessible (although the light sensor could do with a wipe so it can recognise movement before people need to use steps to get to seating). Need to be able to climb stairs to get to either of the two rooms, which wasn't told about first (though they wasn't informed I had physical disability or I'm sure they would of told me before taking booking) Didn't need to pay until morning after stay and it was a shame we didn't have time to have breakfast for only a fiver extra per person. Bar downstairs appeared to be clean and welcoming, although we was not there during opening hours to experience it for ourselves. Overall, a good n clean n safe value for money overnight stay, and will probably use again soon if allowed to put single beds together or be given an actual double bed"

"This dining experience was very disappointing for several reasons. Firstly, the service was extremely poor. Despite booking a vegetarian afternoon tea, a regular tea was brought out initially and we had to wait for the correct (pre-ordered) tea to be served. One member of our party did not want afternoon tea and instead requested sausage and mash. Unfortunately, the dish that was brought out was lukewarm and the gravy had become a glutinous lump. It was sent back and the replacement was warm, but the mash was dry and the sausages were small cocktail sausages. The drinks we ordered took 40 minutes to arrive, and the hot chocolate did not come with the cream or marshmallows we had requested. The rest of the food was just okay, nothing special."
