Used to go to the travelling man most Sundays for Lunch but since having my youngest child we haven’t been as he has a large list of allergies. I rang the travelling man and explained about his allergies and they couldn’t have been any more accommodating! It was nice to have a meal out without the worry my son. Food is always 10/10 Sundays and normal weekday menu. They do a very good reasonably priced specials board too. Desserts are amazing! Staff are always very friendly :)

Good food, very hot, nicely cooked. Black pudding stack starter was very nice with peppercorn sauce - on the salty said, good for me but worth knowing. Rump steak surf and turf - requested rare, cooked as asked for. Could do with seasoning, not as flavourful a cut, would benefit from the optional (3) peppercorn sauce. Fries were soft and sweet, tasted like beef dripping was used, very good. Only the scampy was a let down - not up to the standard of the other ingredients and only 4 small one. 21 in total, we'll priced, good quality, served fast. Ate at 6pm on a Monday.
