 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a really nice lunch here today with great service upstairs in the veranda dining area. A full menu upstairs if you want more than burgers or pizza down stairs. Well presented and quick after ordering from the table, not at the counter. A full service restaurant. So pleasant to see.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Haven't been to the BB in a long while so it was a bit of a shock to get there and see it so full you couldn't get a table without a booking but the manager on shift, Jo, said if we waited something would come up. This lady was literally amazing - one of my biggest compliments about the place would be that all the staff were absolutely awesome; polite, quick, really friendly, and attentive but the shining star of the evening was Jo. She was on top of everything despite the noise, the sheer volume of customers and the non-stop service, she remained so friendly and professional throughout the night, made great suggestions, and worked hard to get us fit in. The food was reallly delicious; I had the mango bruschetta (YUM!) and the August lamb rack special - pricey but truly scrumptious! Hats off to the chef who sent the dish out a bit pink for my personal tastes, but Jo noticed and took it in for an extra bit of burning, and s/he sent it back out beautifully cooked and still gorgeously presented. I should have taken a picture but I too busy stuffing my face! 😀 😍 The only reason for the missing star is the lack of a bit of music upstairs in the restaurant - might not be to everyone's taste but I like that in a pub environment so I missed it a bit. All in all, the new owners/managers have worked like devils to bring a new vibe and a new face to what used to be a iconic restaurant so they had big shoes to fill. Well done, and thank you for a wonderful evening! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
