    Absolutely no complaints. Really good food. Great service. Alcohol free sangria was a real touch to cater for the designated driver. Excellent all round.

    Always great food and service, only negative I can think of is that the fantastic whitebait was no longer on the menu!

We can also try and get a small quantity as a special request on your next visit if you let us know beforehand :). We do hope to welcome you back again soon and huge thanks again from all of us here at The Bank.
