We had a lovely lunch for my Mum and Aunt's birthdays yesterday. The food was lovely with some really interesting and tasty puddings! The atmosphere was lovely and relaxed, the restaurant tidy and well decorated but the best part of the meal was the staff. They were so friendly and accommodating and put up with my mad family! Thank you so much for making the occasion so special

From the moment we entered the restaurant we were looked after very well by cheerful, polite staff. We were not rushed, neither were we left waiting for service, the timings were perfect. The food was exceptional and the wine was good.
