We have had another great meal here today, approximately 28 of us, we have been going here over 25 years and return as it is great value, with friendly staff and beautiful food (the mashed potato are delish) In all the years we have been going, it has always been a great experience. Plenty of parking and never been rushed to leave. Happily give The Hostess 5 Stars.

Got married here 22/6/24 and what an experience. Andrew and his team went above and beyond, all staff are a credit to this company. All guess we're made to feel comfortable and nothing was any trouble, the food was out of this world and couldn't of asked for more. Absolutely amazing place and will forever be a place in our hearts. Definitely returning including some of our guests who have suggested here for future wedding. 5* plus if I must say so myself. Thank you all for an amazing experience.
