This is a excellent place to eat at, I came last saturday and was treated with immense respect and hospitality by a curly haired young waiter. The staff are amazing at what they do, Food was amazing. Top place will be coming back here soon.Posted on Hilary HughesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great meal from the sey menu for Valentines day Would have been perfect if we had been seated in the main restaurant. Instead we were seated in a room around the back which may have been the old skittle alley. Some people kept their coats on as the room was very cold. The radiators were not turned on. Very disappointing. Another time I would request seating in the main restaurant.Posted on Arron WatkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Once again we all had a fantastic time at Sturdy's for our annual Christmas meal. The hospitality and service was second to none, no complaints about the menu or the food from it (even with some fussy eaters). I would recommend this establishment to anyone wishing to have a great tasting meal at affordable prices with excellent service, well done and thank you...see you again soon.Posted on John ForemanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very tasty sausages and mash with a half of proper ale at a lunchtime get together with friends.
