My wife and i booked a table in the sailing room for Sunday lunch for 4 people. We travelled from Hastings and our guests were from the New Forest. We had never been there before. The staff were kind, friendly and courteous. The food was excellent We enjoyed ourselves that much that we stayed for 4 hours. Thank you for your wonderful hospitality. Such a lovely venue. Would highly recommend.
