Loved the atmosphere - relaxed and cosy place to go for dinner, lunch or breakfast. Staff were attentive (but not constantly interrupting the meal). Two mains and two glasses of wine for less than £40. Not too crowded or noisy, will definitely go back.Vegetarian options: Choice of vegetarian risotto, vegan burger made of sweet potato, veg Thai curry, and a couple of other dishes, halloumi, I think.

A great place to eat breakfast, move was very nice. Not too noisy, even as it picks up.If you have ADHD like me, your not overwhelmed by other people conversations, and general sounds are not overly echoy.Parking: There is no parking directly near Goodliffers, but close by, there is disabled packing very near as well.Wheelchair accessibility: It's wheelchair accessible, and has a downstairs toilet.

Very slow service, waited for a waitress to take a drinks order over 10 minutes, another delay with a beer tap fault, food came and 1 dish was the wrong one! Disappointed.

We had out work Christmas party at Goodliffes last week and an excellent time was had by all. We had fully paid and pre-ordered 2 weeks prior to the event, which is too be expected at Christmas. Communication with Leanne was good and she replied quickly, especially when 2 of our party were unable to attend due to illness a few days before. Their were 19 of us, our table was ready as soon as we arrived and there were already a number of other tables whose celebrations were in full swing. This provided a great atmosphere. The service was very good, especially considering the restaurant was full. All the staff were friendly, polite and efficient. The food was good and well presented. Not piping hot but warm. A few of the reviews have complained about overcooked vegetables but this wasn't our experience. I dislike 'soggy' brussels but the ones we had were cooked perfectly in my opinion. There were a number of vegetarians in our party and they commented that their meal was the best one they had had at a Christmas event. Also, the portion sizes were about right for a Christmas meal, big enough that you were able to enjoy all courses without feeling completely stuffed at the end. Saying that, the cheese plate, which I had, was huge and I ended up sharing this. There was a supplement for it, but even so, it was good value. We had a great night. So many thanks to all the Team at Goodliffes.

A complete and utter disappointment. It takes some going to get EVERYTHING wrong but last night Goodliffes managed it! We pre-booked a table of six for the Xmas Menu as an Office Team night out/celebration. Paid a deposit and pre-ordered all our food (all three courses). We were seated at a table that was out of sight of the bar and serving staff. A long wait for drinks order to be taken and then a long wait for our starters to arrive. I can only speak of my own experience but for me a prawn cocktail is more than 8 prawns on a 3 lettuce leaves covered in a tasteless pink sauce (which was described as "brandy marie rose" so I can only suppose my brandy was missed off here along with all the flavours!) and served with sliced RADISH! Really? Marie-Rose sauce is so easy to make, and this is what gives the prawns their flavour. Then after another wait, our main course arrived. A lifeless slice of rubbery stuffing, lukewarm turkey, overcooked parsnips and three roast potatoes - meals served we waited for our veg, and we waited, and we waited - by this time it was eat what you had whilst it was remotely warm. Twice we asked for the veg and after the third request it arrived in two small finger bowls with the words "here is some MORE veg"......more? We have not had any! Then the penny drops with the waitress and the apologies and the excuses start......as we sat and watched other tables tuck in to mountains of steaming hot veg, we had to make do with the smallest portion ever between 6 of us (3 of us had already finished our meal by the time this meagre portion of veg turned up). More apologies but it seems it was impossible to take anything off the bill - but they could offer us a round of free drinks! Dessert was supposed to be Eton Mess - the only thing they got right about that was that it was a mess! Would have been nice if the Manager had come over to apologise but sadly, he was too busy with the party of thirty-four who were getting all the attention. Whatever happened to customer service?

Such a great atmosphere, and welcoming team particularly on a rainy Saturday. Lots of options for a yummy breakage. Andy - great coffee, thank you

Went for Christmas Dinner 1st December. Food I'd usually good here, this was disappointing, soup was good, the main turkey dinner was not, parsnips burnt, Brussels so rock hard you could not get a fork into them or the knife to cut them, the pigs in blankets were white as though microwaved. Dessert was O.k
