                                      Food very good but portions quite small. Waiting time was terrible due to kitchens being overloaded which somewhat detracted from what could have been a nice meal.

                                      Service was excellent and friendly. Food overall was very good but wouldn’t recommend mushroom cassoulet, hardly any mushrooms and not much flavour. Wasn’t value for money. Everyone else’s meal was lovely.
