    Great gluten free options available. Reasonably priced for a nice meal out for special occasions. Staff are very welcoming. It can be a bit noisy making it hard to hear staff.

    Food overall was good. Steak and chips comes as it says. Could have done with the usual garnish, tomatoes mushrooms onion rings. Very friendly staff the young lass who served us was a credit to the place. Good choice on the menu.
