    My husband and I would like to extend a massive thank you to the staff in The Merchant Hotel for making our special day more amazing than we could have ever hoped for…. Our party of 4 were made to feel so welcome and given a 5 star experience that we will never forget! The food and presentation were outstanding, the cocktails the nicest we have ever had and the Irish coffee experience blew us away… I would recommend anyone celebrating an event or just a lovely lunch with family to book without hesitation, we will most certainly be back!

    Went for my first Sunday carvery with my mum at Fountain Lane. The food was delicious and plenty of it. They had turkey, gammon, beef and all the trimmings and you could pick two types of meat or just have all the same. Staff were so friendly, it was £16.95 each, but we added a lovely glass of white Pinot Grigio on and it only came to £25 each. Really enjoyable, highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back again! :)
