TheForkUserChanges noticed this week (different to last week) - the Yorkshire puddings have improved; the size of the meat portion has reduced and the gravy was lumpy. Overall the meal was good despite the former comments. Regrettably, the ambience was spoiled by some very noisy children but the service and staff were courteous and polite.

TheForkUserSunday lunch very tasty, lots of veg & gravy, love the mini desserts. Would only add that the dinners could’ve been a bit hotter. Husband would’ve liked more than 2 slices of Turkey for the price.
