Had a wonderful Sunday dinner of roast pork and beef with all the trimmings at the carvery. Everything was cooked perfectly and throughly enjoyable. For desert there was a huge portion of smashing good jam roly-poly with custard that really rounded it off. Prices were absolutely unbeatable and the lady doing the service was more than friendly and polite. Special shout out to the nice gentlemen at the carvery for the chat, sorry, forgot to ask your name.

I showed up for their Sunday carvery, which was fantastic without reservations, and they were able to serve me. I opted to sit outside and dine. The staff was fabulous, and the meal was home cooked. For their carvery, I recommend making a reservation no later than the Wednesday prior.

22 went to the most marvellous afternoon tea. The room was beautifully arranged with white damask cloths and napkins and cake stands with food for four on each consisting of a variety of sandwiches, sausage rolls, pork pie, scones with clotted cream and jam, macaroons and cake. A very special tea and extremely good value. We would strongly recommend this event.
