We went for a beer after work. Good service. Did not spend much time, had to leave. Popular place for a beer. Nice environment, but a busy place. Enough parking.

If you're looking for good pub grub this is definitely the place for you! The burgers are far and away better than places like fire jacks and the service is fast and efficient.The server's are friendly and knowledgeable about the menu and are constantly on hand for drinks etc.There is a well stacked self service salad bar with a good selection of food.Your food arrives hot and well cooked and in a timely fashion.The portion size is fair and none of us had room for dessert. If you're a none meat eater there's also a small selection for you. There's also a decent kid's menu.There is disabled parking and wide doors for wheelchair access.There's loads of outside seating for the warmer day's and eveningsOverall I will definitely be returning here and would recommend this place to anyone.

Thet added ratatouille on simply chicken that we did not expect, even though we expressed plain and this was not advertised on the meal. And the steaks were seasoned even though we asked for plain and not touching any other food. We had two special needs in our party and we basically spent over £160 on a very disappointing small meal. Salad cart was dirty. Food was cross contaminated which with our special needs party meant it could not be eaten. Then we was given our bill before we asked. Rushed out. Awful experience here. It's the local restaurant to us and our first go to as its near for the disabilities within our party. We asked for a quiet area away from others and then they filled our corner with lots of customers once we were seated. Rolls are horrible. Food disappointed, its better quality at the local chip shop!!!

8 of us visited for a family birthday meal. Staff were very friendly.Our server Brooke was excellent! She was very attentive and even took a family photo for us. Service and food were excellent and even though the refillable drinks station was not working, we were kept filled up! It was a lovely evening which we thoroughly enjoyed.

We had a lovely meal here. Was impressed with the food after having some negative experiences at other harvesters. The service was friendly and efficient. Our waiter was very attentive and helpful. Refillable soft drinks is always plus.Thoroughly enjoyed and will go back.

We were warmly welcomed by a manager who greeted us and despite not having made a reservation he still managed to get us a table. We were given a nice cleverly packed activity pack with a game and colouring crayons for my son. This brought a big smile on my sons face so thank you for that.Then we were shown to our table and menus were provided and soon after a server approached us asking what we would like to order for drinks. So far so good.Then we ordered our drinks and food and we were given our salad bowls for the unlimited salad. We then made our way to the salad bar and as being vegetarian we were not sure if the pasta were suitable for vegetarian or not so we asked a member of the team. They checked with the kitchen and adviced us that everything at the salad bar is vegetarian. What I found a little rude was the loud conversations happening in the kitchen that could be heard clear at the salad bar. They were saying “how could someone be vegetarian as all you are eating is leaves”. It almost felt as if they were talking about us which did make us feel rather uncomfortable. I understand everyone has their opinions but it was rather unprofessional as being the restaurant staff having loud conversations that the guests can clearly hear was not a pleasant experience at this part of the restaurant.Then we went to our table and shortly the food arrived.The table wasn’t set and had to ask for cutlery and paper napkins. The sauce bottles we nearly empty and not replaced/refilled with food and dry sauce stuck all on the outside of it. Hygienically could have been better. But I have seen worse at other restaurants so compared to that it was far better. The interior, tables and chairs were well looked after and was a comfortable experience.Halloumi Fries(very over cooked and could taste the burnt flavour and was a little bitter for that reason)Nachos(Cheese sauce, Sour Cream and Guacamole was really delicious but the salsa was too strong to dare to finish. There were more crumbs of tortilla chips then the chips in the bowl. But overall was a nice starter)Vegan bean burger with fries(This was the highlight of the meal as it was nicely made and tasty too. I thoroughly enjoyed this compared to the rest of the food we ordered)Mac N Cheese(This wasn’t too bad and my son enjoyed it. The thick layer of cheese seemed a little over cooked for me but the macaroni beneath it in the creamy sauce tasted delicious.)Overall the experience was good and my son enjoyed the meal and activity pack. Which made me feel that it was worthwhile brining him there. Would I come back? Yes I would because no place is perfect and with a little training to the kitchen staff and a bit of care on the tables this is really a nice place for a meal for couples or families and friends. You will have a good time. Check it out as your option for your next meal.

Excellent service, attentive without being intrusive, welcoming and helpful. We were a large table (8 people) which was managed very well.To improve you could bring back the type of rolls from back in the day (80’s/90’s) put cod back on the menu & bring back cookie chaos.

Great menu, never been here before. The service was good and nice and cosy. The bread on the salad bar wasn't nice. A choice of a crusty roll would be a better option.
