    Good food and a pleasant atmosphere. Roast Beef particularly good but would have liked more vegetables. A strange smear of apple sauce was unnecessary!

    Several items on the Menu were not available mainly fish, only Sea Bass. My Wife went for Lamb Cutlet. The plate was full of tomatoes one disguised like an apple which was toasted. We were both disappointed with both meals (I had Sea Bass), especially as it was for my Birthday.
