The food and service were excellent, but the frequent use of the back door by staff for deliveries, including chairs and meat, made the experience less enjoyable—especially on a cold night.

We were first timers to the area. What a lovely place to dine. Staff were friendly, Meals were quick to come out. Proportions were huge & also priced reasonably. We joined the Club for a members discount. The kids loved looking at all the train station memorabilia which gave a station vibe.
