The service is good, and the prices are great. There is a garden with a deck and a childrens play area, and a nice big car park. We try to visit as often as we can and we have never once been able to finish everything on our plates. If you want a good value, relaxed family meal out, I can recommended this place.

Update: Oct 2011 Went here especially for lunch today with a friend and while the lunch was fine, there seemed to be problem with the bill. We asked to speak to the manager who was right there and said speak to another member of staff. Turned out we were over charged but we were treated as if were trying to get a freebie. Also miserable manager and really slow staff. Really disappointed.

He seemed very drunk and I didn't have any idea what he was likely to do, but the landlady thought this was quite normal because she didn't bat an eyelid. Decided I didn't want to have a meal there, with my wife, so we left. I don't know if the landlady even noticed or cared. The man came outside and was shouting to somebody in the car park as we left.
