I ordered gammon steak and prawn cocktail. The food I ordered are delicious and with big portion. The prawn cocktail is just amazing, definitely try this if you are proven lover just like me. Gammon steak is good too, the pork skin is on and fried so it's nice and crispy. My other friend, who ordered salmon and the daily soup - broccoli and stilton, isn't as impressed as the cheese is so dense she said it stick on your lips when you have it.
I was there around 2pm Saturday, it's still pretty packed at the time, so make sure you make the booking. The atmosphere was good too!
Not sure if it's because

First visit for lunch. Friendly staff. Nice food. I had steak baguette. Meat was nice and bread soft. Chips and gravy were nice. Other food looked nice and well presented- fish cakes and hunters chicken were recommended by others. If anything prices bit expensive but food was freshly cooked and very filling.
