    We came last year for the Halloween afternoon tea and the Christmas one also. The kids loved it!!! So we thought we would book again. The photos they put on Facebook looked amazing again!!! but this year was a bit of a let down unfortunately, it was no where near as good, the milkshake was just warm coloured milk that the kids didn't drink. The soup with noodles were cold, the sweets and chocolate bar were from multipacks from lidl. Quarter of a ham sandwich and quarter of a jam one, a hot dog and then a crushed up Oreo biscuit served in a takeaway box. Last year it was served beautifully on a slate. I ordered the chilli garlic burger and chips but the chips were greasy and the burger was dry and really small. Such a shame as last year was a huge hit. The girl who served us was really lovely hence the 2* we unfortunately won't be returning for the Christmas one as we think it's going to be similar. I mentioned on Facebook that it was not the same and my comment was deleted. Picture on the left is last year's, the right this year's.

    Couldn't organise a p*ss up in a brewery 🤷‍♀️ Went to a 40th party there and the owner was advised there would be 50+ people attending at 7pm. He arranged One staff and himself to serve us all night. Ran out of wine and beers. The food was bought from the local supermarket. I had to ask twice for them to put more loo roll in the ladies. I don't know how he's kept that place going

    The worst buffet I have ever had. All deep fried and the chicken legs were so dry and over cooked. Can’t believe how much they charge for drinks and they can’t even put a half decent spread on for a function owner was taking money out of the bandit after anyone went on it and was very abusive to staff

    Went for Sunday lunch - wow !! 👌 amazing is all I can say ! Lovely place, warm and welcoming on a snowy Sunday. The food was absolutely delicious, high quality home cooked, gorgeous Yorkshire pudding, and perfectly cooked vegetables, the lamb was melt in the mouth ! My dessert of hot chocolate fudge cake with ice cream was to die for ! Can highly recommend, don't know how they do it for the money even got a free shot of mulled wine at the end, will certainly be back.

    Took my neices and nephew tonight for a birthday meal and was very impressed. Was a beautiful setting and the man looking after us popped us in a quiet booth making it feel special and he couldn’t have been more attentive. Food was lovely too. Great little place.

    Birthday meal for myself with family. Booked online, received email and text with confirmation. Seated straight away at the rear of the building, order taken quickly, drinks arrived. Quite a wait for food but kept updated by staff which made the wait not unpleasant. Two courses for 11.95 roast dinners which were lovely and plentiful. Veg on plates and extra cauliflower and broccoli cheese on separate serving dish. Yorkshire puddings were delicious and the smell drifting from the kitchen was too. Thank you for a lovely evening .

    We happened to have a child free couple of hours and usually nip to wetherspoons as you know it's a quick in and out job with half decent food. However we had noticed Artisan on a Facebook thread somewhere and noticed how reasonably priced it was and decided to give it a try. So glad we did as the food was superb. My partner had 2 starters, jalapeño bites with chicken wings and I had fish and chips. Honestly the best fish and chips I have ever tasted and my fellas still talking about the jalapeño bites haha. The guy who served us, I presume is the owner, as went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our visit. Which we did. Highly recommend this place. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The can't believe I didn't mention the cocktails.. Bang on!😁X

    Awesome starter and main. Went on a Wednesday night we were the only people there. At 20:40 when we finished our mains, asked if we could order dessert then got told chef went home with no warning. Still had over an hour til closing time

    Was there for a memorial celebration for a work colleague Craig Bentley Thank you Lovely staff very attentive excellent food great turnout thanks to his wife from all of us .

    We came across this place by chance, we were on our way to the kettle kitchen for some lunch but when we got there we were told there was no electricity so we left and saw artisan. The staff were very friendly and who I pressume is the owner was superb he was very chatty (in a nice way) and catered to all our needs, within 5 minutes of sitting down we had both hot and cold drinks. I had the fish and chips while my partner has the open steak sandwich, both were excellently presented and tasted even better. My personal favourite and the main reason I will be returning is the wide selection of tea. The only problem was the freezing cold bathroom.
