Huge all over the place menu usually means nothing is very good. Not in here. We had the vegan burrito and bang bang chicken and both were genuinely quite tasty. The atmosphere is really nice, lights and music are low, staff is friendly, service is quick. Bonus points for special consideration for the vegan, gluten free, child having and dog having among us, and all of this without compromising the food or vibe at all. Loved it here after a long day.
Owner is ceoliac so fully understands the requirements. Great gluten free menu with home made bread. Couple of improvement opportunity suggestions. I was a little disappointed my friends could have a scone and I couldn't get a gf one. Also the service was a little slow on the day of our visit but the staff were lovely and were constantly busying around. I would definitely go here again. Maybe to try the afternoon tea š
Went in today and first asked if there were onions mixed in their gravy; and the lady behind the till was really snotty with me. When she said no, I was like okay can I have just have a sausage dinner and gravy then please. She looked at me like I had two heads and tried to charge me for just a jumbo sausage. I explained no, Iād like a sausage dinner please. She then excused herself to ask a lad in the back what I was talking about?? And HE WAS CONFUSED AS WELL? Surely sausage dinners are not just a Scouse thing? š
Anyway he asked if it was just chips and sausage, and I was like no itās usually like two sausages, chips, peas and gravy. The lady then said heād have to come over to put it through the till because she didnāt know how. After putting my order through, my brother asked if they still done the vegan fish, which was the entire reason we came because he visited back in the Summer and said the vegan fish they done was lovely. They both, again, proceeded to look at my brother like he had two heads, and went into the back to get a clear answer. They then came back saying they had gluten free? š Which obviously my brother canāt have as a vegan.
Anyway, I put the order through for myself and we ended up having to go somewhere else for my brother anyway, despite them clearly still advertising vegan fish on the menu. Awful, awkward atmosphere, and even though we only ended up ordering sausage and chips and chips and gravy in the end, it still took five staff members 20 minutes to get our order ready for us because they were all dawdling about. Got the food home and it was bland, gravy tasted of nothing and the tartare sauce was watery.
Last time weāll ever come here, so disappointed after we made the drive specifically for an item they apparently no longer even do. Staff acted like you were stupid for asking them simple questions, and if we hadnāt already paid we wouldāve just walked out and left. Awful place and itās disappointing to hear that itās went so downhill, because it was apparently gorgeous in the Summer.
The best Sunday carvery in the area! Always our first choice for a delicious and wide range of perfectly cooked meats and vegetable dishes. Special mention to Karl who was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about which foods my celiac partner was able to eat.
