It's a while since we have been here and it has changed so much for the better. Immaculately clean & has been refurbished. Lovely lady welcomed us at thd door and showed us to our table taking our drinks order. She then came back for our food order. We both chose pizzas and share sides of salad, which was fresh & crisp, coleslaw and fries. All cooked to perfection & delicious.
