Always clean and tidy. The food is what you pay for and you get plenty of it. Could do with being warmer at times. There used to be an unpleasant smell in the ladies restroom but has now been rectified. The staff are always friendly and it's nice to see them in a uniform. This is a popular place for families bit also has a child free section.
