The food was exceptional and the ambience was great. The staff were welcoming and courteous, though there was a considerable wait before we could order our food. Despite the delay, the food arrived promptly and it was a great restaurant to dine at.

We had a lovely family meal for Father’s Day. It was busy and there was a long wait for our food however when it came, it was absolutely delicious. The giant Yorkshire puddings were yummy but we couldn’t finish and the bread sauce and tender chicken was delicious.
