    It was the first time we had been seated in the section closest to the car park and we found it perfectly fine, having been satisfied wherever we'd previously been seated. There were four of us, we were all happy with our choices and they lived up to expectations when they arrived. The service was attentive, though we had to go up to the bar ourselves when we were ready to pay.

    What a gem! This restaurant not only ticked every box but wrapped it up with a big, friendly bow. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like old friends—think warm smiles and genuine chats that are rare these days. The food? Outstanding! Each dish was a little masterpiece, bursting with flavour, and the portions were generous enough to make even the hungriest diners happy. The best part? The bill was the nicest surprise of all. I’d almost brought out my calculator, expecting a hefty price tag, but this place gives you gourmet quality without the scary maths. Great food, fabulous value, and a team who clearly love what they do—what more could you ask for?

    Wow Tracy, thank you so much for this review. I have to say as the Operations Director you actually bought a little tear to my eye. The hospitality industry is tougher than I have ever known it and we are always pushing and striving to be the best we can be but it is 100% reliant on the people you have around you and their passion to deliver - your review pushes us on, knowing that we are achieving our goals. Everything we do is about customer experience and to share this feedback with my team has made me so proud - thankyou! Regards Sian
