    We were a table of six that came for Sunday lunch for my birthday. We had all of the roasts covered (except vegan), a burger with all of the trimmings and a kid’s bolognaise. All the food was excellent, with good sized portions. The service was friendly and attentive but not overpowering. My only negative and I shouldn’t complain because we don’t see the sun for my birthday, in March, very often was that it got pretty warm under the glass, it would have been nice to open a few windows for air. Thanks very much for a fabulous meal.

    Food was amazing! The service was average… our waitress seemed to not want to be there, and it was freezing cold where we were sitting.

    Everything was perfect, except for the service. The staff were constantly asking when we would like to order instead of giving us time to enjoy our drinks. We would have preferred not to be rushed.
