    Perfect place to have Christmas dinner! The food was delicious, hot and plentiful. Staff were very attentive and we even got to speak to to the owner when she arrived! Very pleasant atmosphere, thank you all so much.

    Thought the service was very good, food also very good, really friendly atmosphere. Need to lower the price of the Chapel Down, I pay approximately £140 per case, and that's brut, the one for £47 per bottle is very steep. But it won't stop us returning. Loved the place.
