   The Sunday roast itself was delicious but the table service was pretty poor. We either got asked multiple times the same question by different staff, or left waiting for food/drink orders with no staff to be seen! Unfortunately, the young and inexperienced bar staff were not equipped to deal with a typical lunchtime rush.

   The decor and ambience of the restaurant were both very nice, as was the welcome from the staff. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, and the food quality was excellent. A really lovely find, and so handy for those staying at the pub (Coackmakers' Arms) literally across a small road. Would definitely go back.
