We went for lunch on the 30th Nov. The food was really very good.There we’re 4 of us , a couple had starters , Baked Halloumi, and Onion soup. 2 mains were Steak and Kidney pie with chips, which I was told was lovely, pastry well cooked and plenty of filling The table server offered us extra gravy on the side in a small jug, which we were charged £2.50, ( bit pricy) . Another guest had the Sea food platter, which was all lovely, quite a lot of fish , but a take away box was offered. I had Chicken Kiev , which is totally retro but I thought , let’s try it. It wasn’t how I remembered it tho, the melted butter was in a small dish on the side, not as I thought it would have been , in the centre of the chicken breast, it was also wrapped in bacon, with I think a crumb coating. It tasted really good, the chicken was moist and a generous portion size, together with chips, coleslaw and a serving of iceberg lettuce with Parmesan shavings, made a very tasty meal, however not Chicken Kiev as I recalled it. The service was excellent, all staff we spoke with were very chatty and friendly, the ambiance of the place is lovely, plus very clean, warm and welcoming . We will be back . Thank you.
