Shame that the outdoor Booth seating tables are "plasticated off" making them even more noisy when the kids play riot and the parents do not contain them. We had to escape further up by the bigger tent in order to catch the sun and be able to converse in peace. The Sunday roast was delicious as previously, delicious and big portions, thanks.
