Went for the carvery yesterday evening. Whilst the meat portions have gone down at all the carveries we’ve eaten at, there were plenty of veg options to fill up on. My only gripe was the ‘bottomless sundae’. Weird coloured ice cream from a dispenser with a selection of three sauces in bottles that were running out, and the only sprinkles were tiny chocolate ball things in a paper bowl with a spoon, and the only others, such as smarties, came in dispensers that you had to insert coins for! I didn’t bother. Was expecting a much better choice of sprinkles. Disappointed in that and would order something else in future. Also kids running about. If they can’t stay still in a restaurant don’t take them!

Went on for breakfast this morning. Was served by the wonderful Faye Who went above and beyond for a customers young daughter. Even though she was running around on her own. She did an amazing job clearing tables and managing to serve customers. The breakfast cooked by Russ and mo tasted gorgeous. Will be back again soon

We call here for a drink when going out or returning from a spin. The food looks and smells lovely but we have yet to try it. Make sure you pop your registration in when parking but there's plenty of room here. Outdoor seating available. Friendly helpful staff.

Maxine - exquisite customer care & service! I was very impressed, this young lady did not stop smiling the whole time I dined & I also observed her befriending patrons very attentively. Give her a raise or a promotion, one of your best staff members. Mishap with my order due to allergy but it was resolved promptly.

Great visit to Trentport today. The service was good, food good. Deputy manager was lovely, chatty and supportive with my 2 little ones, nothing was too much trouble. We will be back as the children loved it. Thank you for making it a pleasant breakfast trip.
