    We had a delicious lunch today. My friends tried the coated sardines which looked great and the spicy lentil soup. Both thoroughly enjoyed them. Two of us had cod with chicken butter sauce served th white beans which was light and moreish; the other had slow cooked lamb which he said was very tasty and a substantial portion. The desserts were the chocolate espresso plate which I had tried before- it’s wonderful - and apple crumble whic h was demolished.

    We loved the food the menu was explained to us for things we didn’t know. The starters were so good we were almost full before the main course arrived. I had a pudding which was so unusual we loved exploring it. I am going to go back as soon as I can.

    Majority of our food was excellent. We ordered 2 burgers, steak pie and 2 kids Sunday lunches. Chicken dinner was delicious, but the beef dinner was tough. If you like sky sports, then it’s the ideal place to watch the footy.
