    No white or rose wine! Good customer service would have gone a few doors away to Sainsbury’s

    We had a lovely lunch with visiting family friends here. It was a great meal enjoyed by all six of us. The food was very good, the service excellent and the price reasonable. The menu and how the service is arranged was kindly explained. Would visit again.

    Great experience. I have an allergy and staff went out of their way to make sure i was reassured they were aware of this and that the kitchen was sanitised before making my meal. Service was very fast and food was good. Drink were really nice. Great anniversary meal
