"I was very impressed with this tea garden, which I visited for the first time for lunch. I ate with friends. The choice on the menu was incredibly varied and I was surprised and delighted) that there was such a huge vegan and vegetarian choice. Normally there are only one or two things on any menu that I can eat as I’m vegetarian/pescatarian who doesn’t like cheese which can be awkward, believe me), but not here, I was spoilt for choice. I opted fur the vegetarian sausage sandwich, which came on granary bread with a generous portion of crisps and salad…then chose chocolate brownie. It was again a generous portion and was served warm. I gave to say it was the best chocolate brownie I’ve ever tasted. Would definitely return."

"I attended today for the first time with my family of 5 and dog. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Great atmosphere friendly locals. Very welcoming and kind especially to our dog. We came in soaking wet and they gave us a towel to dry our dog and a blankets, treats and toys.! How lovely to receive such a lovely welcome and the service was excellent we all ate 2 courses every meal was delicious and great portion sizes. Wish I lived closer I would be a regular no doubt. 100% will be back again. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon"

"Visited last Saturday evening with my wife. It wasn’t very busy , just one other couple and a larger ‘enthusiastic ‘ crowd ‘ also. After a starter of mixed tandoori grill, I ordered the Mutton Kofte and my wife had the special biryani , both were fantastic as were the starters. The side dishes were all top notch too ..we will return, highly recommended!!"

"I’ve been here before and been given the old waffle about them liking tips in cash but now they actually print on the bill “service charge not included. Gratuities cannot be left on credit or debit cards as 100% of tips are shared between staff” I eat out a lot at all types of restaurant I’ve literally never ever had a bill like this with this wording insisting on cash tips Since covid I just don’t carry cash and I would imagine many people do the same All other restaurants I have been to without exception either add a service charge or allow a tip/gratuity to be added to the bill and in both cases the total bill can be paid for by credit or debit card These restaurants all then split the tip/gratuity between the staff by including their share in their wages which then ensures that tax is paid on the tips/gratuity as the law requires so this still ensures that “100% of tips are shared between staff” as the bill wishes The tip/gratuity if paid in cash like at this restaurant still needs to be declared to HMRC and I assume the staff/restaurant do this The advantage of allowing the tip/gratuity to be paid by credit or debit card is that this separate disclosure to HMRC is not required as it is dealt with through the businesses payroll system and tax applied accordingly"

"Tonight was particularly special as it was Amanda's and my first dining experience with our grandson Reggie, along with Ronnie and Ellie. Although Reggie is only 3 weeks old and may not understand where he was tonight, it reminded me of when my father took me out for my first family restaurant experience over 50 years ago. It's a precious thing to pass on those cherished memories so that one day, Reggie can write about his experiences taking his own family out to eat. God bless us all."
