    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.

    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.
