    Carvery was up to usual high standard but Swede was well cooked but was warm not piping hot like rest of the vegetables. Probably not the most popular vegetable so not replaced as didn't get consumed.

    I've had a meal here a few times and the food and staff are lovely. I had pre-booked on this occasion and had hoped to be in the restaurant area but we were close to it. The food is always very tasty, highly recommended
