    Had a brilliant 2 course, free flowing brunch yesterday, our waitress Taz was so friendly and kept topping our glasses up for the whole 90 minutes. Food was good, was a bit disappointed that there was no entertainment early, but we ended up staying till 6pm so saw the Beatles tribute band, who were very good. We had a lovely afternoon. Thanks very much for looking after us Taz Debbie and family.

    We had a fantastic time with a superb server, Rosemary (with a little help from the robot). Nothing was too much trouble for her and she kept the drinks coming even before we asked !!
