Normally very pleased and the previous visit set such a high bar i was little disappointed. Front of house not impressed as being shown to our seats was not asked if we had a preference of outside or in, plenty of space at the time. Fish goujon sandwich, chips and iced coffee good.

We went for a family Sunday lunch. We were taken to our table promptly, although our request on booking for a highchair had been overlooked, However the environment was good, not too noisy. The food when it arrived was lovely and cooked well. Unfortunately, it took an hour before we received our meal, which when you have a young child is an unreasonable time to wait. Aside from the minor criticisms, a nice meal and would recommend to others.

Food always excellent, staff also excellent. Some say expensive but it's worth every penny as fresh produce, cooked to order what's not to love again. Always satisfied, love wandering the shop and the beautiful plants too

The service in here is very good but we know it is always slow. The food is very very good & worth the wait usually but don’t eat here if you’re on a time pressure. I would say that on of our group ordering the Caesar salad it was very small & not many lettuce leaves. The prawn open sandwich was really beautiful & light. The chips with the fish & chips were perfect, crisp on the outside, fluffy inside. We booked a later table at 1.15pm for lunch by the time we were served it was 2pm, when we went to look at desserts for 2.30pm most of the dessert menu was completely unavailable apart from one piece of cheesecake & one other portion of something - this was hugely disappointing when booking a table of eight for a celebratory birthday lunch. Atmosphere & environment was lovely, very clean

As usual the atmosphere, service, standard of food and drink was excellent . We have never walked away from the restaurant with a bad word about any part of the experience. We always highly recommend you to anyone heading in your direction. Thanks again Kevan and Jackie

We had an amazing Sunday lunch. The food tasted amazing and arrived promptly. Portions were just right and desert was equally as good. The setting is perfect. Staff were lovely and friendly.

Booked a table for 4, seated promptly and a waiter came over really quickly to take out drinks order. Food arrived in good time and we weren’t rushed to leave the table after we had finished.
