My wife and I booked a meal for our daughter son in law and granddaughter. We arrived early for our 14.00 booking and ordered promptly . 45 mins later still no sign of our starters or the kids meal we asked for.

The beef was full of flavour and a good cut, the veggies cooked to perfection and the roast potatoes and Yorkshire puds were delicious! Service from the all staff was brilliant and overall had a lovely time with...
