    Only had drinks so please ignore the food rating. Overall it was a good experience. And would go there again. The staff were very friendly and gave great service. Only disappointment was that I booked a sofa seat and was given a table and chairs instead.

    We had a wonderful meal here on christmas eve. The food was top notch. Everything was piping hot including the plates which is a must for me! The staff were amazing & ensured that we were kept topped up with drinks etc. We were served by the wonderful Lucy who always makes our visits pleasurable with her friendly attentive attitude. This is the second year we have done christmas eve dinner here & it's now our new tradition as it does not disappoint. 10 out of 10.
