We celebrated my husband's 70th birthday with family here in January 2025. We had a wonderful evening from beginning to end. The food was outstanding and all the guests remarked on how good it was. The staff were so friendly , efficient and accommodating, and our every need was catered for. They looked after the decorations which were fab and made for a great atmosphere. Thank you to all the Staff and in particular Gillian who organised all for us.

Have eaten there twice in last months the seafood pasta is the best I have tasted! My husband had the beef .it was lovely and tender and great portions with fresh vegetables. Great friendly service and good value for money
