    The menu and the service are very good and it's quiet enough to have a catch up chat. We enjoyed our lunch and the wine very much and we were made comfortable by excellent table service. Thank you.

    Group of ten for Sunday roast. The beef and the pork were top notch and true roast vegetables. We have very much enjoyed 4 visits now to the hotel and so impressed with food and service.
