    I took my 'other mother', as she is known, for Sunday lunch. Not the first time we have had a Sunday roast here or lunch on other days. However, the rump lamp with extra roasties (neither of us is a fan of Yorkshire Pudding) and Cauliflower Cheese to share was absolutely scrumptious! We both completely cleared our plates. This is a friendly place, really good service, mixed crowd (so you don't feel out of place), some people dressy, some casually dressed, and the food is really, really good! Pay a visit to see what I am saying!
