Second visit here with motoring club. Sadly a similar experience to the first time, a long wait for pre-ordered food to arrive, this time for an hour after sitting down. My meal was fish and chips, the battered fish was lovely but the chips appeared to have been either kept hot for a long time or fried once to often. Staff are pleasant and apologised for long wait but the café is obviously under provided to cope with a group of 40 diners arriving sat once.

My group of 4 stopped there for lunch after reading online reviews, and Wow! The food was delicious. The dining area was busy, and staff warned that the wait might be long, but we stayed and did not have to wait as long as predicted. Everyone's food was high quality and expertly prepared. Seems odd for a community swimming pool to be a dining destination, but don't let that stop you from giving it a try.
