Family lunch on Sunday was very nice and lovely staffPosted on Google Loraine CallowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The starter came out at the same time as the pre dinner nibbles. Aside from this, the food was excellent, the service was very good, and the various dining areas will suit any and every occasion. I went for late lunch, and I will definitely be going back for more. The pork crackling with apple sauce is a must.Posted on Google Colin McLeanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
