    Service update required!

    Attended here with friends for a catchup. Table booked for 18:45, one of the party arrived before others and ordered a lager. Still waiting 25 minutes later, then when it arrived it was not what he ordered. Sent back and waited another 20 mins for a replacement. Bar is apparently busy! Meanwhile, another waitress arrived and we stated we had booked under 5pm deal, so she had to get a different menu which took about 20 mins to arrive. We ordered wine which arrived quite quickly (so bar must have been quiet at this time!). Food was ordered after another wait, starters arrived reasonably in time. Mains then again arrived in reasonable time. 3 of the party had ordered desserts but by this time it was 21:30! These arrived and we also asked for the bill as people had to leave by 22:00. Food was excellent and 1 waitress seemed to be 'on the ball', but others were not attentive. We all agreed that we wouldn't go back due to terrible service, especially as the restaurant was not too busy.
