Lovely surroundings with great parking. The Grange is a lovely, clean venue serving great food. The service is warm and friendly with the opportunity of eating inside or outside. Well behaved dogs are made welcome with a fenced in area for you to walk the dog on a lead. Food selection is good, meeting most dietary needs. Enjoyed my meal and will be back.
