We hadn't made a reservation for lunch but we were very lucky to get a table. I would highly recommend booking for Sunday lunch. The Sunday lunch menu offers roast beef or chicken or a nut roast.

This is in part due to the fact that the man with an orange for a head has an almost supernatural ability to look people in the eye and compel them to tell the truth. In the week he did jury duty over one hundred people just decided to admit guilt, which largely rendered him redundant as a jurer but gave him all the time in the world to get wankered on cheap cider which is a vital part of...
