    Very dissapointed not to be able to adjust menu. Eg. Eggs bacon etc. Due to your policy 6 customers only ordered coffee. Everyone had very negative reviews after visiting. Not good for your brand. Staff were great.

    A lovely venue , great service & amazing food but on the outside deck the larger tables have very little shade . Cooler day this morning but the sun was still quite harsh.

    Beautiful setting on the lake was undercut somewhat by a DJ. Staff were unsettlingly over-friendly. When every member of staff greets you like an old friend, it just comes across as disingenuous. Food was pretty good.

    We enjoyed a leisurely lunch. Service was very good, food mostly good (burger a bit too salty), ambience great. Would happily come again.

    Loud thumping music totally spoilt the enjoyment of the view of the water and clear blue skies. Majority of people eating there at lunch time were seniors and choice or “non choice” of what was assumed to be “music” ruined the whole experience.
