The food was mediocre. Service was very fast, maybe a little too fast as we felt rushed. Fine for a quick meal at a cheap price.

Christmas lunch was complete waste of money. Photo's on the website are not representative of what is actually served. Starters: 1 Soup & 1 smoked salmon which were very nice. Game terrine was overcooked and crumbly. Main Courses: Roast beef was cooked rare and was...chewy, same with the lamb. Friend's comments - still mooing and baaing! We suspected the beef was not sirloin. It had no flavour. Friends were less than impressed to receive pigs in blankets and stuffing with lamb and beef. No sign of Yorkshire puddings and proper gravy. My other friend had turkey, which was again was overcooked. There was no difference in the taste of the gravy. Clearly a generic and gloopy gravy to save the chef work. The roast potatoes barely had any colour and zero crunch. The vegetables again were overcooked. Desserts: The Christmas pudding was OK, but nothing special. Couldn't taste the brandy in the sauce / butter. My other friend had the pear dessert, which was firm. Staff were friendly and attentive. The bill for the food was £220.50 not including drinks. A large bill for 3 people for substandard food. I wish that Scottish Establishments would make their chef's visit Yorkshire and Lancashire and take lessons on how to make roast dinners. We had high hopes for the food and left deflated and with empty pockets. Sadly we do not recommend.More

Absolutely fantastic Xmas meal. The menu was wonderful, so much choice. Crayfish avocado and chilli bruschetta was fabulous. The turkey with all the trimmings was lovely , great selection of vegetables too. I was disappointed that I couldn’t manage a sweet as the selection was...great very tempting! Service was great friendly and efficient as always. Looking forward to you reopening in February, I hope all staff enjoy the well deserved break .More

We had a really good meal here with two of us going for the roast turkey and two for the beef medallions. For starters three of us had the scallops which were absolutely lovely. The beef medallions were cooked beautifully and the roast turkey went...down well. Only one dessert was taken and that was Eton Mess and was very enjoyable.More

I seemed to get off on the wrong foot totally with the staff who were sat at the table at the top of some stairs, because I disturbed them. Eventually a sour looking woman with a face like thunder came to ask what I wanted....I asked if they were serving light lunch / bar snacks. She muttered something under her breath, and I was unsure whether of not they were serving, but then she followed that up with , " and its cash only ".....and with that she flounced off back upstairs to her waiting colleagues. I assumed they WERE serving food but decided with that attitude they were NOT going to get our custom. Rude and off putting. obviously we didn't eat there, preferring instead to find somewhere a little more hospitable.More

Absolutely first class and friendly service. Very cosy setting. We went in for coffee and cake, very reasonable prices. The service was second to none and even made teapots of hot chocolate for my children.

There is on-street parking on Sandgate opposite, and a surface car park off Bridge Street a couple of hundred yards away. I don't know if they have reserved parking for guests.
