The Sunday lunch was beautiful but service was slow, our meal was brought with the meat & roast potatoes but we were waiting a while for all the vegetables, and there was no plain potatoes or mash, not everyone likes roast potatoes so if your someone that doesn't you'll have no potatoes with your meal.
