Lovely as always. The food comes in large servings. The staff are attentive and friendly and the live music is great. Price was good because portion sizes are quite big. Book in advance. It’s a busy spot

Our table of 6 adults and 2 children was served by the most lovely girl (I can’t recall her first name but her surname was Corrigan. She was so helpful and made the experience so enjoyable. We needed for nothing, our glasses were never empty and every detail of our order was met perfectly down to singing happy birthday! 10/10 service
