Wonderful service from start to finish. The four course roast lunch is excellent. If you're in the area then make a date to try, you won't be disappointed.

Delicious oysters to start. The skate wing was enormous & full of flavour. The cheese board was enough to share. Friendly helpful staff; so for our first visit, we were thoroughly impressed.
