Service and food incredible! Huge beer garden out the back which was great for the kids
Living local, first time I've been up since the place got took over. Had a nice walk up with the dog, dog friendly bar, although we sat outside as the sun was out. Ordered the chicken gyros, which came with chips and salad, ... must say it was absolutely beautiful!!!! Will most definitely be returning!!! Obviously had to have an ice cold pint of Bulmers. Nice staff, lovely food, ... 100% recommended. Keep up the good work , lovely friendly place. Didn't wait long for food either, and the prices were spot on!!!! 👌
Went for dinner today with my partner, the Sunday dinner was lovely! Very reasonably priced, big portions and was absolutely delicious! And the staff were great, very friendly and attentive. We will be returning!
Staff lovely and friendly. Very accommodating. Place is gorgeous, clean and tidy. Play area brilliant for the kids. I had the roast beef and kids had roast chicken. I forgot to ask for no gravy with the kids meal but they were more than happy to change for no extra cost even though I offered. Only downside was that the coffee machine wasn't on so I couldn't get a coffee. Overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience. We will be back. Thank you.
We held out after wedding party at the poachers pocket. We had the best night, staff were amazing, kept in contact in the run up to our party. Couldn’t of asked for more. Thank you again for an amazing night and we will definitely be in again soon. Anyone looking to hold a function I would 100% recommend.
