Review

Walked in on a Friday evening at 6.00pm - asked for a table - but the young lady told us that they were 'full'. Of the capacity of around 60 places - 6 - yes 6 - were taken!!!!! Unless they were expecting a rush of 54 people in the next hour then.... The customer friendly approach would have been to either 'fit us in' or ask us to leave the table by x time. Obviously they didn't want the work - nor the money. With one sitting per evening - either expect prices to go up or this establishment to fail.....

It is a fantastic place and i applaud the fact that they do not do the horrible "2 sittings" thing that many good and busy restaurants do. Food wonderful, delightful service and always a good time. It is a small plcae so just be organised a book ahead. Don't be bitter because you couldn't get a table.

We arrived and were swiftly seated at our table. The drinks order was taken and delivered. Then nothing. For 35 minutes. After 3 requests for someone to take our order and just as we were on the verge of leaving the waitress finally returned. No apology for the delay - and its not like the place was busy. The choice was not huge (certainly didn't need 35 minutes to make a decision) and overall wasn't worth waiting for. Theres better food and better service to be had in the area.

Like Leigh (jan 11) we tried to go there for Lunch (sunday) - it was about 2.30pm knowing based on the website that lunch finished at 3pm. We were told there were fully booked and full, when there was clearly 3 tables that were not occupied. Gutted we went to the Old Ship (not the culinary lunch we were hoping for but at least we were fed). Shame. We are not ones for having to book.. let alone a pub.
