Food was good especially steak night but thought t bone surcharge was high compared to ribeye or sirloin but overall good. We were near the bar and the bar and area seemed very cluttered with lots of none essential items and made the place look messy and disorganised. For a £200 dinner for 5 of us maybe a complimentary lemon cella/baileys would be appropriate. Thanks Roy

Seats are comfy and the atmosphere is relaxing. It’s an ideal place for friends gathering. Foods are served frequently but for us they are a bit too salty. Only grilled meat are served I would suggest restaurant to add some grilled fruit and vegetables (e.g. pineapple, mushroom, Zucchini) to make the meal perfect! Overall is a nice restaurant and recommend anyone to try.

We came here to celebrate my mum's birthday, we didn't have any special requests and they only found out it was for her birthday when we arrived (with her wearing her birthday badge). They went above and beyond anything we expected - food looked and tasted amazing. They even sorted a little birthday cupcake and gave my mum a keyring as a present. Would highly recommend and will be returning in the future!

We came here for the Sunday platter as it was always a favourite and unfortunately it’s changed (and reduced in size, it used to be three meats); so there was no pork or red cabbage which was now an extra at an additional cost. You’d be better to order the individual roasts and choose your extras. The food however was really really nice, and the service was amazing! The restaurant itself is beautiful.
