We were greeted by a cheerful Father Christmas and shown to our table, the waiting staff were very attentive without being “too much!” The food was excellent- great choices on the menu and something for everyone of our party of 8. This is our group’s 3rd year of meeting here before Christmas - it must be our new tradition? Many thanks for all the staff’s hard work!

Such a special experience! It’s been a difficult year for my wife Christine as she has been very poorly. We could not think of a better place to celebrate getting through 2024. The staff could not have been more helpful. The food was as usual out of this world. We hope to be back soon. Thank you so much. John & Christine Pokora
