Booked a table in the bar for Father's Day as we were bringing a dog with us. We live fairly locally so this is a place that we know is excellent. As ever we were not disappointed - our Sunday roasts were exceptional and the staff were as friendly, helpful and professional as always. Our dog appreciated the lovely treats Thank you ☺️
