I see the previous review was in 2008, when I believe they had some problems. However, we have been several times in the last year and always found excellent value and quality food.

I would say that this was my favourite carvery. The only downside was that there was (on a Sunday afternoon) only one person on the bar who had to also change barrels etc... as well. Despite this, we'll keep on going there.

Called for Sunday lunch carvery to find no longer had Sky TV

Worse still, they took our cash (which somehow is unjustifiably £3 more on Sunday than the rest of the week for the same thing) at the bar, only to be told when in the carvery queue that the beef was off and would not be ready for at least an hour.

The turkey was dry and the remaining ham was scraggy ends that I wouldn't have put on any plate. All the vegetables, the peas, carrots and cauliflower cheese were of the frozen variety, plus the roast potatoes were hard in the middle and the Yorkshire puddings were soggy

Bonus - the cranberry was delightful and the barman very good. It's a pity the same can't be said for the miserable, sour-faced chef carving the little bit of meat he had at 3PM on a Sunday afternoon.

Oh what a downfall in the place.
