I emailed ahead today one of the party had an intolerance and one was an electric wheelchair user. Before arriving I had a call today all toilets were downstairs and did we still wish to come. He wouldn’t need to access this so we confirmed the booking. The manager was waiting for us on arrival. I didn’t get his name but he was Brazilian and very welcoming and accommodating. He allowed us to order from the à la cart menu as the set meal menu (I assume for groups) didn’t include any lobster dishes. The lobster, steak, prawns, burgers, chips, garlic bread, salads were all lovely and well seasoned and cooked. They made sure even that my brothers wheelchair had space behind him. When in the area again, we would definitely be back.

We were charged for bread and water without being told up front. This made the Monday night steak deal not such a great deal.
