Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Very disappointing visit.

We stopped off for some lunch here last week. My boyfriend ordered the seafood chowder for starters and I ordered the chicken wings. These were both average enough. For mains we ordered the lambs liver served with mash & veg and cod goujons and chips....More

Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was delicious. Steak was mouth watering and salmon equally delicious. Separate frier for chips (coeliac). Would definitely return. A little on the pricey side but worth it.
