Three stars because the staff in the restaurant area actually showed us the door because they didn't want to serve us a la carte while the Christmas menu was being recommended but both were on the menu. So we went back into the pub area through another door and made a choice from the minimalist menu offerd there...... We chose a snack dish with something to drink taken as an appetizer and immediately ordered a meal. The waitress on this side was very friendly and helpful but the food was a disappointment. The home-made chips were hard, too brown and greasy, the snack dish ..... well, what they promise on the menu was indeed on the plate, but we found this not really appetizing and was a bit minimalistic. The food itself was disappointing as well, we did'nt expected a culinary explosion of taste but everything was floating in grease and tasted like the chips we hade with the snacks and again the minimal touch in execution. in short, for the rather substantial amount that we eventually had to pay, everything was below par ...... So this was a one-off visit as far as we are concerned.
