Food was poor. Pizza was tiny for £12 and tasted like something I could’ve got from the freezer in Tesco. The loaded fries were barely loaded, nor were they fries. The service was none existent. It felt like the music was being chosen to deliberately wind you up or get you to leave. I would seriously never ever consider dining here again. For the price I expected way more. I’d have expected more for half the price, frankly. Never again.

We had originally planned to eat here during our stay but eventually decided to opt for a takeaway in the lodge instead. We met some friends for a drink during the day (which was extremely expensive) and told the waitress that we would like to cancel. The waitress began laughing and smiling, at that point I asked her if everything was ok? She replied saying how glad she was that we cancelled because the previous night was a nightmare. I totally appreciate how hard staff work and how understaffed everywhere is at the moment but being slightly more indirect would've been better and not made our presence at the resort feel unwelcome.

A nice environment and friendly service. A little costly for a family - and setting.

Booked a table but it wasn’t ready as the people before were still sat at the table to which we were told we would have to wait a bit but then eventually they made us a table up by pushing a couple of table together. The service was awful waiting a long time to get served and then they had ran out of garlic bread and when our meals eventually arrived they were like warm. I wouldn’t ever dine here again.

Terrible food, equally terrible service. Ordered two Caesar salads, one vegetarian, one chicken (chicken served raw). Vegetarian was £1 less admittedly, but £12 is still extortionate for a handful of leaves, some dressing and a few tomatoes. No Parmesan either seeing as it’s not vegetarian but nothing offered as a substitute. The worst part, however, was the fact that the chargrilled chicken in the normal Caesar was served raw and I had to walk it back to the inside bar myself seeing as the outside bar wasn’t being monitored. No apology, no ‘let me get this sorted’ just ‘ermm, I’ll check with the chef’. In the end, the manager (we assumed, didn’t identify herself) apologised and told us the meal was being remade, 15 minutes after it was returned. We decided to cancel seeing as my partner had already finished her meal. In the end an apology and some recognition would have solved the issue, seeing as they weren’t busy, but we weren’t afforded either.

This place is definitely on the up. Visited this restaurant 1 year ago and the improvement since then is huge! I have a feeling it’s going to continue on its upward journey. The staff were friendly, polite and efficient. The food has also improved. It’s the sort of menu you would expect from a family restaurant on a holiday resort, but it’s cooked well and price and portion sizes are spot on. The atmosphere is relaxed and fun. A great place for family holiday dining.

Food was great. There were good options for children too. Music and décor really lovely. Also a great little place for drinks only.

Nice meal / young man that served us was very attentive Service was good considering they had 2 parties in Food and drink overpriced but then you are on a resort so I suppose that’s to be expected Would I recommend it - yes
