The food was lovely, the portions were nice, and I couldn’t fault what we ate. Prices are maybe a little higher than elsewhere, but the food is good quality, and service was fairly quick. Staff were generally polite, though I didn’t find them especially friendly. Some seemed fed up, like they didn’t really want to be there. I’d definitely eat here again and give the staff another chance to be more welcoming.

Visited today for the first time. Had rung at very late notice to try to get a table and Colleen (who I now know is one of the owners) could not have been more helpful. We both had the lamb shank which was outstanding!! The Malbec gravy was to die for and the vegetables cooked perfectly …. and with the large selection of specials added to the wide à la carte menu we could have easily chosen a dozen meals. All of this was backed with super friendly service and very reasonable prices …… we will be back …. and not alone!!! ….. thank you folks 🙏💪🙏

The food was exceptional, and the toilets were immaculate. I just popped in while my daughter was at a nearby party, and the young fair haired guy who served me was incredibly friendly. It felt very welcoming, and I’ll be back. Thanks! We still can’t get a Christmas Day booking, after trying for the 4th year. I bet it’s amazing.

We felt warmly welcomed as soon as we arrived, and the room was just right. We’d just got home after an overnight stay at The Courthouse and were thoroughly impressed. Breakfast was amazing, and the service couldn’t be faulted. Thank you, Mr and Mrs Clark. We’ll definitely return if we’re back in the area.

I drive past this place most days and it always looks nice, so I finally went in for a meal. It was my first time and wow, I’m impressed. The staff were amazing, especially the woman who was so funny. The food was outstanding too. I had a massive, lovely Sunday roast on sunday 18th 2026 and couldn’t eat it all lol. P.S. still waiting for my medal 👊😇 Would recommend it to anyone, lots of love to all the staff! (Photo of the food I ordered that day.) The glasses look good too.
