Seriously underwhelmed! Friday night and almost empty, though I'm not surprised. Muffled piped music from cheap ceiling/wall speakers was a failed attempt at creating atmosphere. No-one thought to warn us when we telephoned ahead that the carvery finished at 7.00pm; we arrived at 7.15! We ordered from the menu instead and waited 40 minutes to receive our 3 meals, only to discover that the '1/2 chicken with peas and onion rings', had no peas or onion rings, but a tiny bowl of side salad as accompaniment instead! Clearly not the most accomplished of chefs was on duty. Real ales choice.... well, not really, Doombar or nothing! Why did I give them 2 stars you might be wondering? Well the decor was clean and comfortable (if a bit dark and old fashioned), and the toilets well maintained also. Will I be returning? Not a chance :(
