The View offers a mix of experiences, from a run-down horror film set to a surprisingly good meal. Customers have complained about incorrect orders and dirty facilities, but have also praised the delicious roast dinners and generous portions. The venue serves as a pub, restaurant, bistro, cafe, and party space, catering to a variety of needs. Whether you're enjoying breakfast on a rainy morning or attending a wake, The View seems to have something to offer. Overall, mixed reviews suggest that while improvements could be made, The View is worth a visit for its food and accommodating staff.

Went for afternoon tea and sandwiches. Waited over an hour for tea or coffee. The bar maid was not informed. Will not be returning.
