    We came for Sunday lunch and the food was absolutely amazing and great value. The starter or halloumi fries were the best I have ever tasted!!!! The first table we were seated at I could feel a draft so the staff were happy to move us without any fuss. Will defo be returning, highly recommended!!

    Good well-cooked food. Only problem was, we should have asked them to go easy on the chips, as there were far too many for my wife, and unfortunately she had to leave more on her plate than she would have liked. Good service, and friendly people.
