We had a wonderful night at Lakehouse and were so well looked after. The food was excellent and great value. The menu is full of delicious dishes so we found it difficult to choose but were really happy with what we ordered and vow to go back to try the rest! The chicken with mini dumplings was particularly good, as many people have said, as was the pancake and cheese bites. The grilled mixed vegetables were great too and all the sauces that went with everything were superb. We really couldn’t fault it. Thank you, we will be back.

Lovely pop up and one night experience to promote and remember the times people had to ration back in the 1940's. Would go to one of these again, food was yummy!
