Six of us went for a Mother’s Day lunch and the food was outstanding!! Between us we had all the different meats and all were divine. The vegetables are plentiful and varied, the Yorkshire puddings huge and delicious. Service considering it was very busy was well delivered with a smile. A good Bloody Mary too. We will definitely return .
