As a family we’ve been to this place a number of times pre Covid normally on a Sunday afternoon for the carvery. There was no doubt it was the best carvery I’ve ever had and I have had a fair few. Plus back then the place was packed and you had to book well ahead. Plus trying to get a seat in the bar at the front while waiting was never easy so it’s just showed you how good it was. However, since covid the placed has changed dramatically and not for the best. I’m not sure if it’s a hotel, brick a brac shop, deli or a pub it’s just lost it’s identity and atmosphere. We recently visited again, and the place was dead. In fact, we were the only people in the restaurant. Such a shame as the food Sunday roast was still very good, although they currently no longer serve the carvery. My only criticism apart from the lack of atmosphere and customers was the gravy was a bit watery, and there simply wasn’t enough cauliflower cheese for three people. We asked for more which we received. However, we were told that normally the answer would normally be no which is very disappointing considering the cost has gone up by at least £2. Based on what we experienced with lack of customers I am just wondering how long this place will survive. Also I have to say it would be nice to see it return to it’s former glory with the bar at the front open again and a open fire and a full restaurant serving the wonderful carvery that simply couldn’t be beaten.
