myself and my husband arrived for are evening meal that we book online for 8pm slot, the pub and restaurant seemed very busy which i consider a good sign to anyone who as never visited before. However we have been to the whitchaff several times before and love it there, the bar was but que went down quickly. we decided to sit at the bar as the lovely guy who served us said that are table wasn't ready yet which was perfectly fine, and we don't mind waiting. The staff were all busy a all knew what they were doing and all polite. we was shown to are table about 30 mins later and was given plenty of time to decide what to choose to eat, with a very great selection of different dishes. something for everyone. Our starters arrived and the food was piping hot and very very. The main course was also just as good, unfortunately I didn't have room for a dessert. we had a couple of drinks afterwards and sat at the bar again, my only criticism i have is that the staff give you the impression that they want you to leave when you have finished your food and its not the first time they have made us feel like that. maybe that's why that place is empty bye 9.45pm on Saturday night.
