I’ve been here numerous times for the Sunday roast. I’d avoid the chicken as it’s dry but the feather blade beef is unreal. What had brought me to leave a 5* review is the Monday night £11 for 3 course Italian. You couldn’t buy the ingredients for that!! It’s amazing price in today’s economy. I’d say it’s a menu you have to know to get an amazing meal for £11. The bruchette and potato skins starters are amazing. For the main I’d stick to pasta and avoid the pizza and bolognaise. The desert is a coffee or ice cream. The pastas are delicious and the chef special Cajun chicken pasta is amazing.

The 5 of us had a lovely meal and a few drinks while staying in the area on holiday. Everything was cooked perfectly, presented well and tasted lovely! The service was also great, everyone was very polite and friendly, and the prices were really good considering the amount of food we got! Would definitely recommend to others and would return.
