“ Not the first time we've been here and they're a reason for that, the food is lovely, from the Omelette to the Chips, everything is superb. Service was not quick today but that wasn't a worry as it was not what e were expecting and the place was stoud. All in all a great lunch, enjoyed by all. ”

“ Came here tonight for an early birthday dinner with my partner, his gran & papa. The food was outstanding, 10/10 on both dishes. I got the bistro bites (highly recommend) and spaghetti with meatballs. The portion size of the main was huge, really worth the money, loads of meatballs. Staff were so friendly, even surprised me with a cake and sang happy birthday to me which was so lovely though a little embarrassing for me can’t wait to come back and try more!! ”
“ First of all my husband and I have not been here for a lot of years but I was curious about the place and booked here for our 34th wedding anniversary today. Have to say that the tables outside are not exactly inviting... buckets etc and black bags on what was once the outside terrace don't look too good but I was ready to give the inside restaurant and food a really good review and I can certainly do just that.. The place is small and compact but cosy and spotless. The server behind the counter/bar knew instantly who we were and called us by name, good start... Shown to our table and surrounded by photographs of the family who own and have owned this restaurant in past/present configurations. The menu was the Sunday roast menu ( served until 5pm). I'm sorry but I didn't get the names of the 2 female servers and our drink order was quickly taken, 1 pint of draught Menebraea (only draught beer) and x1 large pinot grigio while we looked over menu. We were given plenty of time to choose and both went for the braised short rib of beef in a rich gravy and duck fat roast potatoes, they were plentiful and also a large dish of turnip, carrots, parsnips and green beans. I love my veg so was most pleased and managed to demolish that... The Beef was served medium rare which is perfect for me and my husband really enjoyed it too. The server discovered that this was a special occasion and offered us both a complimentary drink too. At this stage we had said that we were stuffed but had a look at the dessert menu and my husband had the Galaxy caramel sundae which he totally loved... I chose the warm chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce, divine... We certainly will be back for special occasion dinners. The price was 62 for 2 mains, desserts and drinks. There are other menu's which I will be back to try. Priced well, great service and really tasty food and well portioned... ”
“ In my 37 years I've been to many great restaurants, cafes and so on. I've eaten many a good meal in these places and of course some rotten. I went here tonight with my gran n papa to celebrate my partners birthday. First of all again I'm so sorry for knocking that bloody glass over, stupid jacket of mine . Anyways so we got a friendly welcome and even happily switched our table so we had a little more space. It's not the biggest of places but it's warm and cosy with a nice atmosphere. I got the farmhouse pate to start which was absolutely delicious, like I mean delicious. I was gutted when I ate it all. Such great flavours and it was nicely presented. Then I had the steak pie and in the name of holy what a plate it was, as you'll see in the picture. There was more steak on this one plate than you'd get in 20 large Bells pies out of Asda it tasted amazing as well. The steak melted away like a chocolate Wellie next to a fire place and the gravy was so good it was difficult not to gulp it down off the plate but I thankfully remembered I was not at home and this was not normal in public . The potatoes and veg were nicely done as well, very tasty. The staff were great from start to finish, very friendly and attentive. They even brought out a cake for my partner and played the happy birthday tune. My partner lit up like Rudolph's nose . So all in what a wee gem this place is and if you haven't been then move your backside and get a table booked. You won't be disappointed. Oh and lastly compliments all day to the chef you'd give Ramsey a run for his money with that high standards of cooking ”
