    Booking was straightforward. The staff were very friendly and really helpful. I have Coeliac Disease so have to have a gluten free diet. The waiter was very knowledgable and explained how they would modify the full breakfast for me. I was impressed. When the meal arrived it was delicious and a generous plateful.
