We had a lovely time. Food was amazing, staff were so friendly. We had 4 adult carvary meals, they was absolutely delicious and enjoyed by all. We will definitely be coming back.

Didn’t expect to queuing when booking in advance. Food was amazing, but a not very hot. We were at the first sitting.

Really enjoyable evening with beautiful food. Only thing we found is the children’s portion was pretty much the same size as the adult portion but the price difference was £6. Our waitress was on her first shift and was very attentive and helpful, looking forward to our next visit.

The staff were so so rude, very unprofessional. The meat was delicious but the rest was pretty average. So disappointed we were really looking forward to trying it. Definitely wouldn’t return.

Me and my partner came all the way down from St Anne’s near Blackpool for a date night and it was worth the drive. Food was amazing l, very tasty and portions sizes were just right. The lads serving us the carvery were very polite and friendly as were the Bar staff. We will be returning.

Awful food! And rude staff! We brought in 32 people yesterday and we was made to feel completely unwelcomed! No wonder why the restaurant was basically empty!! Even though they acted as though we couldn't sit together as a whole because they had other bookings! Which none of said bookings came whilst we was there. The food was vile! More fat and bone than meat. Not even warm. Soggy veg, smash instead of real potatoes. Frozen Yorkshire pudding and roast potatoes. Mac and cheese had zero flavour! Plantain was hard! I will never or will any of my family visit here again. My reviews will be also on trip advisor and tiktok too.

We had seen the restaurant advertised so we thought we would give it a go. Arrived to a bit of chaos.. a big party trying to be seated. We waited about 10 mins. We got served and seated. Food was not up to standard lamb was grisly.. and you cant serve yourself for the sides so for £15 each its one plate of food that you can't really stack up with the sides The plantain was there too long so dried out like the roast potatoes Only veg was cabbage. So not sure there is enough variety and didnt even know you had to leave after 75mins. So £70 down 3 people with drinks and gone within an hour. Not for us and a shame. Staff were lovely.

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this restaurant, as we left feeling very disappointed after our visit. We attended as a large family group of 25+ people and were really looking forward to trying the food. Booking the visit was difficult from the start. When we attempted to book for the full group, we were told to call and that we would be sent a link to complete the booking. Despite calling, no link was ever received, so we had to make multiple smaller bookings instead. I also called the day before our visit to explain that we were all attending together and to ask whether we could be seated as close to one another as possible. Unfortunately, the staff member I spoke to was dismissive and did not seem interested in helping. Upon arrival, our group was split across different areas of the restaurant. We asked whether it would be possible to be seated together in the back area, as there were several empty tables nearby that remained unused for the duration of our visit. This request was refused. We were also informed that we had a strict time limit of 1 hour and 50 minutes. Service was slow and disorganised. We waited around 20 minutes to be called for the carvery. Part of our group was served, but the rest were sent back to their tables because there was not enough food available to serve everyone. As a result, some of us had finished eating while others were still waiting to be served. When I asked whether I could pay extra to upgrade to an XL carvery, I was told this was not possible. When we eventually received our food, it was very disappointing. Portion sizes were extremely small for the price—especially for an adult carvery. I was served half a chicken breast and around four pieces of mutton, most of which was bone. The potatoes were rock solid, the Yorkshire puddings tasted frozen, and the lamb on my partner’s plate was tough and dry. Overall, the experience was poorly managed and did not meet expectations in terms of service, organisation, or food quality.

Was a great carvery but definitely would rather be able to help myself so we could get more on the plate instead of coming up again
