I booked this venue for a pre Birthday/Christmas lunch for 2 of my girlfriends, one of whom was going to be celebrating her birthday in Dec. I arrived early and was shown to the table and waited for them to arrive. The young lady who served our table was very friendly and helpful when choosing what to eat. The drinks arrived shortly before the meal, which was excellent and well presented. Would certainly go back again
