The waitress wasn’t very attentive. She didn’t pick up that I had changed my mind on my choice of drink. So I had to follow her over to the station to tell her of the adjustment. Also, twice she informed us that our table was due back. Perhaps 2 hour slots aren’t enough for a dinner reservation? Lunch certainly. But perhaps you should re-think evening slots when people tend to want to relax for longer.

Service outstanding. They coped wonderfully with a baby and a very elderly grandmother with a walker. Food was very good apart from the beef roast dinner which had frozen roast potatoes and little meat for £30.
