    Very good Sunday lunch but service a bit hit and miss - the table next to us got our drinks and we were served their lunch!

    The food was great, there was some delays in the kitchen due to a mishap, but staff were communicating well. We would have like the food a little earlier, but understood they had a challenge. When the food arrived, it didn’t disappoint. The staff were very friendly and warming.
