    We took friends who are visiting from France and the lady has difficulty with tea and Finn went to great pains to make sure she had something suitable to drink. Service, food and Ambience were all first class and our friends were throughly impressed by the experience.

    Excellent food, friendly staff. We sat in another bar for a pre meal drink. They carried our drinks across the courtyard to the restaurant for us when we went for the meal.
