Some diners have pointed out that peak hours can lead to longer waits, especially on busy Saturday nights. While many appreciate the atmosphere, some may find it too crowded during rush periods. A few have mentioned that the outdoor seating can be affected by weather, potentially limiting the experience during rainy days.
Also, while the menu features numerous tempting options, a small segment of guests have noted that it can be overwhelming, making it tougher to choose just one dish.

I booked for 11 for the Sunday menu. We were greeted well by lovely and polite staff. We sat up stairs due to the size of our group and there was plenty of space in an aesthetically pleasing setting. Overall this place has a brilliant atmosphere and the food was delicious, all homemade with lots of flavour. We will definitely be returning.

Dined on Wednesday night as a table of 6. Food was absolutely fabulous and the service just as good. Had a mixture of tapas dishes, loaded fries and a gyro meal. Each dish was equally as delicious as the next. Would definitely return. Thank you!

Absolutely unreal Sunday roast and desserts. Probably the best roast we’ve ever had. Such a generous portion as well and everything was cooked to perfection

Was recommended to go here by one of my customers, wow! It did not disappoint…..the service for a start was excellent, they couldn’t do enough for us, then came the starters, we had a mixture of adult and child meals, I had the pork belly bites and boy they were the absolute best I’ve ever eaten (no lie 😋😍) Then we had roast dinners (the kids had sausage & mash and chicken strips, the photos do not do it justice! Overall it was a great experience and one we cannot all wait to repeat. There were 8 of us in the party. Thank you all so much xx

What an amazing restaurant, from the moment we walked in to when we settled the bill, the whole evening was faultless. All of the staff were welcoming and couldn’t do enough for us but the young lady who took care of us all night was exceptional. When the food arrived, we were all blown away with the quality and flavour of the starters and mains that we had to sample some desserts!!! You’ve gained 10 more regular diners and hopefully who ever else we rave about you to!!! Thank you for an excellent evening.

Truly delicious and freshly cooked Sunday roast. One of the best I’ve had out in a very long time. Excellent cuts of beef, gorgeous homemade Yorkshire’s and great selection of delicious veg. Gravy was spot on. Really friendly service and they were great with me bringing my 4 year old. They also still served the Sunday roast until 7pm which I also thought was above and beyond for a small village outside Wigan. I live in a large city and it’s impossible to get this kind of quality food with this kind of friendly and flexible service so that says a lot. I’ll definitely be returning when next passing through - it really is such good food. Bravo chef!
