We had a fabulous time here for my daughter's 18th birthday, she was made to feel very special with everyone wishing her a "happy birthday" and they brought her a lovely chocolate brownie with a candle, the food was absolutely delicious we ordered shepherds pie, the ivy burger all very good. Staff were professional, welcoming and helpful. Looking forward to going back.
