    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.

    As always the staff are fabulous. Slight issue in the kitchen meant food was delayed but the staff dealt with this politely and efficiently and delivered their usual wonderful service. Will come again
