"We came for our Christmas Dinner, which as you can imagine was pretty expensive. Having processed the whole thing a few days later, I can only conclude we were badly ripped off. The best thing I can say about it is that the staff are very nice and friendly, there was a fun atmosphere in there, but the food was the stuff of school meals. For starters we all had pate. Pate and toast is impossible to mess up. Following that, came the Christmas fayre, I had turkey with all the trimmings. Firstly, you had to put up with it arriving with gravy all over it, and none extra in a gravy boat. The kids did not want gravy but I wasn 't about to start scraping it off onto my plate. The first massive disappointment was the Brussels sprouts, two of which were quite hard, some a little softer, but none cooked enough to be fit for Christmas dinner. I know it isn 't the fashion to boil veg to death these days, but neither should it be raw. The carrots weren 't much better, large under-cooked slices. There were two types of potatoes, boiled and roasted. If you 're going to do two, I prefer mash. However, if it were to continue in school meal style mash would be worse. It would probably arrive looking like it had been put on with an ice cream scoop just like at school. The turkey meat was tough as old boots. Usually the fault with turkey is dryness, but somehow it was very chewy and in thick slices. There was a lot of it. I mean, LOADS. Absolutely loads. The roast potatoes were curious. One of the kids said they were like Spanish chips by which she means patatas bravas. And they were. They tasted nothing like roast potatoes. The smell reminded me so much of school dinners. Potatoes from a British canteen. The desserts were alright, after all, you can 't really mess up a cheesecake you bought from a supermarket. The blob of whipped cream from a can was less than generous though. On the way home, I started to realise I 'd been had. For what we paid in there, we could have had an evening out in a proper French Bistro in San Sebastien, chomping on moules and langoustines cooked by a Michelin star chef. I did enjoy the general atmosphere. It is a very British place and that was pleasant. To share with my countrymen the meal that most represents our national character made it worthwhile. I also hate cooking Christmas Dinner these days. It did, however, remind me not to take my kids reaction to my Christmas Dinner too personally. They didn 't eat much of this one, either. At least I do eat my own and it is made to my liking. We may be staying home next year. I 'll save my pennies for the next time we 're in a country where the natives can cook."

I had the pleasure of eating a wonderful meal here on the 22nd. I was part of a large party and we had their Christmas menu. The food was hot, fresh and delicious. The service was very good. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only criticism I have is the toilets! Alot of the party I was with, we're elderly and some had mobility issues. The toilets were located down a few steps. The toilets themselves were very small and would be difficult to use for anyone with walking sticks or other mobility issues. I understand that the building is made that way but just one disabled toilet upstairs would make alot of difference, not sure how someone with a wheelchair would manage
