I've used Martin for years, and he's always given good, honest advice, and done all I've asked of him without hassle, and with good humour. My tax is not very complex, but I do get myself all confused sometimes, and he straightens my money matters out without fuss.

The food is good, plain fare, you get more than you need on a plate. It is reasonable in price. You don't feel like you're crammed into a corner at the tables, the chairs are very generous. The kids love the playground, and it's often very hard to get them to come out for their food. Thursdays are the best days to go with kids, because they have a clown and face painting, and a raffle - a real night out for the whole family.

We started to go here about once a fortnight for a cheap night out. It gave the kids a chance to play while we could talk at the table and still keep an eye on them. The food was as expected, not top class, but large serves and fair quality. Things have changed since then, though. We ordered a lasagne, which turned out to be lots of sheets of pasta with no meat in between at all. When we complained, the manager had a noisy fight with the chef in the kitchen, who then came out to our table to ask us about our replacement meal, and he asked us to tell the manager that the second meal was okay. He criticised her to us.

The manager has gradually become less friendly towards us, and the last time we went, she turned her nose up at my husband and ignored his question completely.

We will not be returning, which is a shame, because it was a good value break for us, which is rare.
