Oh dear! This place seems unable to deal with a sizable group booking. There's an issue with a shortage of staff. Waiting times were long as there was only one waitress delivering food and another serving drinks. The carvery option had three types of meat, the beef was good but regular portions could have been more generous. The accompanying vegetables were of the usual variety of leathery roast potatoes and bland frozen veg. It was hard to enjoy a meal here, if you can afford to go somewhere better, that would be advisable.

Good location. Plenty of car parking. Warm welcome by staff. The restaurant was cosy which was good as it was very cold and bleak outside. Meal was terrific and our waitress, Debs, was excellent. Parking: Parking right outside restaurant. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5
