    It's a wonderful environment with enormous potential but in desperate need of better management. My most recent visit was my third. Each time, it's been a little worse than the time before. It's not that the staff are unfriendly, they're simply disorganised. Many of those living nearby have already given up on it, which is a shame because, as I said, it's a wonderful place and it ought to be a success.

    Was looking forward to dining here, but having read the reviews was concerned. Service was perfect, good looking efficient staff. Ordered Sunday lunch here, nice table upstairs, the tables are well spaced giving you lots of personal space. Decor is superb. I had read that the vegetables were undercooked and that was not wrong, nothing wrong with them just a little crunchy! I'm not a fan of chicken on the bone but I ordered it and was shocked to find it still had some feathers on the leg!! This has now confirmed that I will never order anything on the bone again. I had to cover it up. The meat itself was cooked perfect but I didnt expect that on my plate. For Sunday lunch please serve chicken sliced or just the breast, no one wants to see white feathers on their dinner. My friend had the beef and said it was very good. The lunch comes with unlimited Yorkshire puddings which is a great idea, although the personal gravy boats only have about 4 tablespoons of gravy in them. Overall a good dinner, wouldn't rush back but will return at some point (although wont have the chicken unless it's deboned!)

    Enjoyed the atmosphere, attentiveness by the staff and service very much. The only thing we were surprised at was the skimpiness of the cheese board we shared, crackers, celery fine but the smallest 3 pieces of cheese we have ever had anywhere.
