I booked for myself, baby and sister who flew over from Australia to enjoy a tasty English roast dinner. The staff were lovely, welcoming, helpful and very accommodating as soon as we walked in. They put us in the corner as my baby had fallen asleep, answered all of our questions about the menu, and offered me a lovely tea to end the delicious meal. Food was very tasty and just right to fill us up. Meal didn’t feel heavy and was full of flavour. Thank you for a lovely meal.
