Food was good, it's let down by the atmosphere & ambience. It could so easily sorted if they only tried. We couldn't hear each other talk due to the big groups on other tables.
If they put up some noise absorbing materials and section off an area it would work so much better.
What's the point of going out of you can't hear what everyone else is saying?

I went to have a meal with my fiancé a while ago, the drinks are lovely, the food is impeccable, most of the staff are nice. But we got talking to one particular waitress, quite large and she said she was only 15!? Her name was Ellie or Millie I didn’t quite catch it. We got talking and she told us that her boss takes the tips??? And that if we wanted to tip her we should either sneak it in her pocket or sneak it in her hands!! I was utterly shocked, the fact that the waitresses don’t get their tips is terrible, but saying that to a paying customer and then asking to sneak her money?! What!. Anyway, the food and drinks are great but I can’t give it higher than a 2 star because of the encounter I had with the waitress.

Personally as the waitress described in the review bellow I would very much appreciate if you took it down as I do not like the fact you have commented on my weight, especially because I am still in my teens as well as putting personal information on here. I do not give customers my age at all and rarely give out my name. Also about the tip situation they get put in a pot over the night and get shared out by Dennis or David for us to collect in our next shift. As it has person information in it, if the wrong person sees this I could be teased through out the rest of my school year as most know I have this job. Please take it down immediately

We waited over 2 hours for food- we ordered a set meal and sides. We got 5 sides and never got the set menu. After 2 hours we were told we can either cancel the set meal or wait for them to start cooking it. We said we would like to cancel.
We got charged £60 for the drinks we had and over £70 for the 5 sides we ordered, when we decided to leave the staff were having a laugh about the situation and clearly pointing at us, since we questioned the bill.

Most disrespectful and vile treatment we ever came across in a restaurant.

We had a really nice time. The food was much better than the competition at Bawtry.

Looks very expensive, but, seeing the food - it looked good to be fair, however so little in the way of vegetarian food, so if even one person is veggie, they won't be happy with the range. We just had a drink (£2.40 for a 'multipack - not be sold separately [the clue's in the wording]) and then left for an amazing Indian instead a few doors down the road. Nice Front of House staff, so service 4/5. Atmosphere may have been better if it wasn't so cold & draughty.
