    Service was amazing at the back bar and when I answered as well! However, the shepherds pie had no flavor and was too hot to even try to eat

    We had a great brunch experience here for my husband’s birthday! Amazing service, friendly and knowledgeable staff, great setting, and most importantly, delicious food! You must try the scotch egg and Baileys chocolate pudding. They were also very attentive to allergies here-we don’t have any, but I was impressed that they were asking everyone to help accommodate those who do. We will definitely be back next time we’re in town!
