We had a wonderful lunch at Jacuzzi. Everyone who served our table was just fantastic – capable, assured and incredibly kind to all of us. The food and presentation were just as we hoped, and we had the loveliest time catching up after 10 years. Amazing non-alcoholic drinks too. The young girl in our party adored her Cherry Bradshaws and felt incredibly grown-up (but with tomato spaghetti – thank you for that, too). Thank you all for making us feel so welcome, even at early bird lunch hour!
