Four of us had a very lovely late lunch. The only reason I did not give the food 5 stars was the fish & Chips had a bit too much coating on it.The waitress was excellent.

We had a wonderful dinner tonight. We started with oysters then we had a raspberry salad and then we had my wife had steak, medium rare. It was wonderful and I had the duck breast which was wonderful. There’s a new chef there and we could tell because everything was served hot on time and very delicious
