Lovely lunch to celebrate a members birthday. Food is good quality, portions are very generous! All the staff then surprised the team member with a song of Happy Birthday and cake. Only improvement is the staff need to be a little more attentive, we did have to catch their attention to order drinks while we waited for the other guest to arrive.
