    We had two outdoor tables for our party of 17. From greeting by waiter Tom. Excellent service very efficient. The food varied over the group, some meals were not nice, or average to lovely. I wish there was a vegan or vegetarian meal in the seniors meals. All in all we would definitely be coming back.

    The pork salad was very poor quality. The pork was hard and tasteless. Couldn’t get a fork into any of the pieces of meat. Very disappointing at the price.

    Hi Pauline, we're disappointed to hear you weren't happy with your meal. We have passed your feedback on to the kitchen team for them to address.
