Enjoyed another great night out in the Fitz. Drinks and music in the Bar followed by an excellent Christmas menu in Restaurant. ( Spent another Saturday night in the Fitz after being there last Sat 7th). Once again it was a really lovely night out from the bar to the restaurant. Brian was so helpful and was able to get us a table in restaurant as we had not pre booked. All staff were on point and working so hard over this really busy season. Thank you again to Brian for being so helpful and accommodating as usual. He’s an absolute gem and an asset to the business.
