We
came
at
6pm
on
a
quiet
Sunday
evening,
the
place
was
mostly
empty;
within
half
an
hour
there
were
only
a
few
tables
free.
Our
meals
were
delicious.
The
lamb
shank
pie
was
heavenly
-
big,
pastry
perfectly
cooked,
looked
amazing,
smelled
wonderful,
real
melt-in-your-mouth
tenderness,
tasted
divine.
The
mash,
peas
and
mint
jus
(i.e.
gravy)
were
likewise
delicious.
The
pan
fried
Chatham
Island
blue
cod
was
hot,
the
batter
was
crisp
and
not
too
thick,
nice
big
pieces.
The
salad
wasn't
swimming
in
dressing
but
had
just
the
right
amount,
and
the
chips
were
hot
and
crisp.
We
could
not
fault
our
apple
and
blueberry
pie
-
sweet,
hot,
tasty,
arrived
quickly.
The
service
was
great.
The
place
was
busy
but
we
were
attended
to
quickly,
and
our
meals
arrived
within
a
satisfactory
time.
A
great
range
of
beers
at
surprisingly
good
prices,
likewise
their
wines.
There
were
a
couple
of
negatives;
running
out
of
sticky
date
pudding
was
pretty
devastating
(kidding).
More
seriously
though,
they
could
have
done
with
turning
up
the
heating
a
bit,
there
was
a
sudden
rush
of
cold
air
whenever
the
door
opened,
and
we
noticed
several
other
patrons
appearing
quite
chilly.
Despite
being
busy
and
having
several
family
groups,
the
noise
level
was
not
excessive,
and
it
was
a
nice
change
to
not
be
able
to
see
multiple
TV
screens
from
my
seat.
Plenty
of
parking,
easy
access.
Staff
were
all
friendly
and
professional.
Oh,
nearly
forgot
-
prices
were
really
good
😊.
I'll
definitely
be
back.
