Excellent value for a Friday evening carvery! We were greeted by the front of house staff who were very friendly and welcoming. Then we were served by Carolyn who made it her mission to ensure we had everything we needed. The food was hot, extremely tasty and the visit an overall enjoyable experience!

Food very good. Service by Carolyn exceptional. Experience totally let down by Gents toilets. Cold "hot" water. Cold air hand dryer. Disgraceful rusty radiator. Carolyn said major refurb in August

We had a bereavement on Christmas eve so we weren't in very good spirits, but we had The Best time! We laughed & giggled the whole time, the food was actually spectacular, & the staff especially Carolyn our waitress were amazing & couldn't do more for us! Can't wait to return next year x

Great staff and warm welcome. Leo was great on the Carvey and also the meat was great and tender and tasty. Good selection of veggies. The cauliflower cheese could have had more sauce.

The service in this Toby Carvery gets 5 stars! They serve breakfast until 11 and we turned up at 10:57 ! The staff was very accommodating and welcoming and made sure we got the breakfast that we wanted. They offered refills before they cleared out the breakfast area to serve lunch. Felt very welcomed. Id say the interior could be updated but it felt cozy and reasonably priced.

Wow, the food was perfect. It was really good value for money, and the staff were so friendly, but the service from the server ( Sophie ) was absolutely outstanding. i have an extremely severe nut allergy, and ( Sophie ) explained everything in great detail for me and made my experience extremely warm and welcoming and a lot less stressful with allergies 5 star plus customer service Thanks to the staff especially ( Sophie ) for her extensive knowledge on food Allergies Thank you so much i will Definitely be returning. And definitely recommend this place.

On an extremely busy day given their current offer the staff were still absolutely lush especially our server Patricia... she treated everyone extremely respectfully and you could tell the amazing report she had with all customers. As always the food was to die for and we are extremely glad we decided to come here instead of Washington toby carvery a lot of it down to Patricia! X

Fantastic vegan carvery. The waitress brought us a jug of vegan gravy. There was a huge variety of vegetables, a choice of sources, and the servers knew the difference between vegan and vegetarian. The food was delicious and beautifully cooked. The waitress was very helpful and no question was too much to ask. Great.
