I was told the food was good. It was sensational! The staff were so lovely, hard working and friendly. They made us feel very welcome and were helpful when asked about dishes and drinks. Compliments to the chef, every dish was full of so much flavour. It really enjoyed our lunch and would visit again.

Have dined at The Mark a few times now for lunch and each time have had a great experience. It's a lovely place to come with friends for a catch up. Easy to have a conversation, efficient and friendly service, great background music and the food has been delicious every time. This visit I had the fish and chips with salad, with the fish and chips perfectly cooked and the salad fresh and tasty. Have had the crumbed cutlets with vegetables in the past and really enjoyed those too. It's now high on my list of go-to places.

Our first time at Shorty’s we were very impressed. A lovely setting, easy parking, extensive menu and specials, staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was great. I only marked it down a little because it was too cold inside - the air con was up too high.
