Our experience
When we got to the door of the restaurant, we thought that there would be no chance of a table as it was so busy. We were led through to the back straight away, however and given a table for two. It is much much bigger than appears from outside, so if town is busy, it’s one of your best bets.

We were seen to immediately by a very smiley waitress who dealt with my indecisions very patiently and we ordered the cottage pie and I had the vegetarian cannelloni. (Around £7/8 each.)

With great speed, the meals arrived and we tucked in. The cannelloni was a bit floury and the cottage pie was ‘o.k’. Both definitely home made, but nothing you would get overexcited about. When we asked for the bill, we realised the receipt that was put on our table when we ordered was to be taken to the till on the way out and you pay there.

The great amount of staff, the immediate table seating, order taking and method of payment all added up to a very quick ‘in and out’ experience. PERFECT if you are wanting to shop or have a busy day ahead, but not the kind of place if you want to savour a culinary delight.

This place is run like clockwork and is probably making it’s owners a mint. Well done I say!
