Regular here and meals of late disappointing. Had to search for a waitress. Manager couldn’t be bothered bringing us jug of water - told us to go to bar. Service lacking. Perhaps just a bad night for staff? Girl at bar very friendly and made up a little for other staff and manager.

The restaurant/bar was a great place to watch the Matilda’s play. Food was good the drinks were good as were the staff. Unfortunately the kitchen closed too Early given we were there another couple of hours. All in all it was a great venue I. The sports bar

Waiter forgot the chicken in the chicken linguine but was brought out in a separate bowl - not quite the same. Average meal. Great waitress in Ava - she made up for the heartache and disappointment

Our local but meals a little disappointing this evening. Atmosphere somewhat clinical. We asked for our meals to be brought out all at once except for garlic bread - we asked for that first. I told the girl this twice and reminded her that the last time they didn’t fulfil the request. This evening, request failed again. Garlic bread second. Two meals follow 5 minutes later. Our other two guests had their meals served 15 minutes later. Might find another local. Seems lot of staff gone - new manager on board and some new waiter staff who aren’t so focussed on customers.

I enjoy this place as it’s a lovely local - food is generally okay. Ordered eye fillet and was disappointed with serving size and the very dry jacket potato. Rather expensive for what I got. Seafood paella was more like a risotto. Fish and chips okay but batter not crispy. Have eaten better previously. Hopefully just a one-off bad experience.
